If you enjoy going on a camping holiday using a caravan or trailer, you know how convenient it is to arrive at your destination with all your home comforts on board. Experienced campers have a checklist of equipment and supplies to pack, and they usually plan for every kind of weather and leisure activity while on holiday.
To make sure your holiday isn’t interrupted by a breakdown on the side of the road, you should do a thorough maintenance check of your caravan or trailer before you leave or have it serviced. Many caravans and trailers use ALKO parts. Should your pre-holiday check show you need to replace ALKO caravan parts or pick up ALKO trailer spares, don’t worry, you won’t have to postpone your holiday: TrailerPartsOnline has all the spares you need, and we deliver worldwide.
Performing a Maintenance Check is Easy with ALKO Caravan Chassis Spares and Trailer Parts
For peace of mind, it’s worthwhile to do a few simple checks on your caravan or trailer before your trip to make sure it’s roadworthy and safe once you hit the road. While servicing brakes and bearings require specialised tools and skills, a visual inspection is enough to confirm whether your ALKO caravan chassis parts or trailer parts are in good condition.
Check the wheel nut tightness, inspect wheel rims for damage, and monitor tyre condition and pressure. You should grease the coupling head draw tube and check the breakaway cable and clip condition. Inspect your 7-pin or 12-pin connection cables, sockets, and plugs for signs of looseness or wear. It’s important that road lights and electrical connections between the car and trailer or caravan remain in good working condition.
If you need to replace ALKO trailer parts or caravan parts, you can order them online from TrailerPartsOnline and have them delivered to your door in time to replace the parts before your holiday.
Take it Easy While You’re Travelling
A relaxed driving style and regular stops on the way to your campsite not only provide a pleasurable way to travel but also help with fuel efficiency and reduce the wear and tear on your caravan or trailer. While driving, be alert for smoke or unusual smells coming from the brakes and make sure they are working well each time you stop. Whenever you pull over for a rest, check your caravan or trailer’s brakes to make sure they’re not overheating. Remember: caravan and trailer brakes run hotter than car brakes.
