Plan your Route – Before you go, you should plan how you are going to get there. Be aware of the types of roads and also when there is likely to be more traffic on the roads. On bank holidays and during school holidays, popular tourist destinations can be particularly busy, so bear this in mind!

Make Sure your Caravan is Roadworthy -In the same way that you need to make sure your car is safe for use on the road, you also need to do the same with your caravan.
