Nervous about first weekend away... pitch fights

What do we have to do for this? We switched a button off in the van that the handover guy told us to. The solar panel still has a green light on it. Should we have done something else?

I think you're doing it but depends on the wattage of your SP. We find ours stay heathy enough without a SP certainly for a month or so and even in Winter we rarely go more than six weeks without a trip and there's been no problems. It's when you leave the caravan standing for two three months+ that might cause a problem.

Your caravan will have good heating and insulation so use it all year round

Sorry that someone hasn’t given you better information. Basically, your alarm systems will use some of your battery charge whilst it in storage, so you will periodically need to check that battery is charging from solar panel. Obviously, sunshine levels could affect this, so it’s worth keeping an eye on.

We store our MH on our drive, it has a solar panel that keeps things ticking over nicely, but obviously, being at home, we can check it easily. You might need to go to your storage every now and then just to make sure things are ok.👍🙂

We're back, no divorce either - or pitch fights!! Thanks to all the fabulous advice here, it went well & we met some lovely people - all of whom were willing to help us out. We do however have a shopping list of things to buy (including ear plugs - I had no idea how loud birds were at 4am). It also rained a tiny bit - we were convinced that something was going wrong with the van as we couldn't see any rain outside. Roll on 2 weeks time when we go to Bridlington for 2 nights.
