Its nearly time to go home.

Well the nights are drawing in and its time to start thinking about looking where we put the electric blanket so that must mean it's nearly time to shut up shop and head for the sun!
The last day of our season is Thursday 30th September and it is rolling round fast.
(no sleepovers allowed on the Thursday)

So for all you caravan owners at Treyarnon Bay its time to make sure that your pride and joy is all prepared for the winter and for any nasty cold weather that may come along.

Most of you owners know how to wrap your caravans up for winter and could teach us a thing or two, but just a little reminder of what needs to be done here is a list of the most important things you should be doing.
Turn off the gas at the gas bottle, unscrew the regulator from the bottle cover it with a plastic bag and tuck it up safe under the caravan or cover the regulator by putting a bucket over the top of the bottle and securing it.
Make sure the gas bottle is secure and can not be blown over in strong winds.
Turn off the mains water supply and disconnect the pipe from the caravan remove the pressure reducing valve and put it inside where the frost can not get to it.
Open any drain valves that are in the pipe work underneath the caravan.
Open all the taps to allow air in and the water in the pipes to drain out.
Place the shower hose in the bottom of the shower tray to drain.
Remove the drain screw from the boiler.
Turn off the electric at the box outside (switches down)
Please check that you only turn off your own supply if there are more than two switches in the
box you may be turning your neighbours off.
Clean out the fridge and leave the door propped open.
Take down all the curtains take them home in the warm with your bedding if you can.
Stack all the cushions in the center of the lounge and cover with a blanket.
Stack mattresses on their sides away from windows.
Cover carpets with blankets or paper to stop the sun fading them.
Pour antifreeze down the toilet pan and in the cistern and down the plug holes.
Put bowls of salt in every room in the caravan.
Lay a blanket over your cooker to protect it from the sea air.
Take all your valuables home.
Make sure your storage box is secure pop a breeze block on top and tie rope around it.
If possible take the TV aerial down and put inside.
When you have finished and locked up, push some Vaseline into the key holes to keep that nasty salt water that will come up from the sea in the wind out of the locks.
OK you can go off home now and either get on an aeroplane and go somewhere warm for the winter or move to the back of your cave and snuggle down and hibernate until spring and then we may let you back on site to get your caravan ready for summer.
