    Winterising Your Motorhome, Campervan or Caravan
About Us >> Motorhome & Caravan Winterising Service >>

As the colder months approach, it’s essential to prepare your motorhome, campervan, or caravan for winter storage. At Thurton Auto Centre, our expert team provide a comprehensive winterising service designed to protect your leisure vehicle from frost damage, corrosion, and costly deterioration while it’s not in use.
What Is Winterising? 
Winterising is the process of preparing your vehicle’s internal and external systems for the low temperatures and damp conditions that come with the winter months. It involves thoroughly draining, cleaning, and protecting vital components to prevent freezing, cracking, and long-term damage to your water, heating, and electrical systems.

What’s Included in Our Winterising Service

    Our professional winterisation package includes:

    • 🚿 Flushing taps, pumps, and shower units to prevent freeze damage

    • 🧯 Checking and securing LPG systems for safety and proper storage

    • 🔋 Battery inspection and maintenance (removal or trickle-charge options)

    • 🧽 Internal clean and damp prevention – including ventilation checks and dehumidifier placement

    • 🚐 Exterior wash and sealant protection to guard paintwork and seals

    • 🧰 Tyre, brake, and fluid checks – ensuring the vehicle remains roadworthy

    • 🏕️ Awning and roof inspection – preventing winter water ingress and mould build-up

    • 💧 Draining and cleaning all water systems (fresh, grey, and waste tanks)

Why Winterising Is So Important

    Ignoring proper winterisation can lead to:

    • Split water pipes, pumps, and tanks due to freezing

    • Damaged seals or damp interiors

    • Flat or sulphated leisure batteries

    • Corrosion in the heating and electrical systems

    • Expensive repairs before your next trip

    By contrast, proper winterising:
    ✅ Protects your investment
    ✅ Saves hundreds in avoidable repair costs
    ✅ Extends the lifespan of your leisure vehicle
    ✅ Ensures a trouble-free start to the next touring season
