Check appliances in your caravan or mobile home as often as possible to ensure electrical wiring is in good order. Ideally it should be tested regularly by a qualified electrician.
Make sure all heaters, cookers and TV sets are switched off last thing at night or when leaving your caravan. Never block heaters as it can cause a fire and remember that heaters need air, so open a door or window.
Do not overload electricity sockets and avoid using multi-adaptors. Do not run appliances from a light socket.
Ensure all gas cylinders are kept outside the caravan unless a special ventilated compartment is provided.
