Caravan insurance customers and their fellow mobile home enthusiasts should get their pride and joy ready for winter with a thorough clean using specialised products, says an industry expert.

According to online retailer greentrees-adventurestore.co.uk, extreme winter weather conditions such as heavy rain, snow, hail and frost mean it would be "foolhardy" to leave such an expensive possession exposed to the elements.

Caravan insurance customers who use their vehicles for long-distance travelling may also prefer to spend a little extra time on maintenance to minimise wear and tear.

To prepare for the colder months, the firm reassures customers there are plenty of products designed to 'winterise' caravans and motorhomes.

A simple wash of the van's exterior can be followed by a once-over with a flow-through brush - an innovative product fusing a scrubbing brush with a hose.

Additional accessories such as awnings and gazebos also need a little care, with protective cleaners helping to keep them in shape for the new year.

Eco cleaning specialist Ecover has launched a specialised Car Wash and Wax suitable for caravans and made entirely from plant and mineral ingredients.

Finally, if the caravan is to be stored on the driveway or in the garden, customers might want to think about investing in a waterproof cover, allowing the exterior to breathe and prevent moisture building up.
