Chausson X550 Handover

Mike and Julie from Cambridge are pictured collecting their Chausson X 550 Exclusive Motorhome from Shane Catterick at TC Motorhomes in Herne Bay Kent.

They met Shane at the recent Motorhome Show in Birmingham where they viewed the Chausson X 550 for the first time, and it was love at first sight!

So now Julie, Mike and ‘Charlie the Chausson’ are away on their adventures and looking forward to their first outing in Suffolk next week.

TC Motorhomes very own Peter Eddington completed a thorough handover of the Chausson, so that Mike and Julie are now experts in the workings of this fabulous compact Motorhome, and both Shane and Peter wish them well with their new Motorhome and this exciting new adventure!

How to Store Your Motorhome for Winter

Motorhomes are a great way to explore the outdoors, but it's important to take proper care of them, especially during the winter months. If you're not planning on using your motorhome during the winter, it's important to store it properly to prevent damage. 

Frost Damage Prevention 

The first step is to drain the water system to prevent frost damage. This includes draining the fresh water tank, gray water tank, black water tank, and water heater. You'll also need to open all of the drain taps, including the shower head and kitchen faucet. Once the water has been drained, leave the taps open to allow any remaining moisture to escape. 

General Winter Protection 

In addition to draining the water system, there are a few other things you can do to protect your motorhome during the winter. 

• Remove all personal belongings and food items. 
• Clean the inside and outside of the motorhome thoroughly. 
• Leave the fridge and freezer slightly open to prevent mold growth. 
• Lower any drop-down beds and move seat cushions away from the walls to improve air circulation. 
• Leave a low-level background heat source on, such as an oil-filled radiator. 
• If possible, trickle charge the engine and leisure batteries to maintain their performance. 

Where to Store Your Motorhome 

It's important to store your motorhome on a hard surface, such as concrete or asphalt. Avoid storing your motorhome on grass or soft soil, as this can cause it to sink and lose traction. It's also best to avoid storing your motorhome under trees, as this can expose it to tree sap and bird droppings. 

Motorhome Storage Options 

If you don't have a place to store your motorhome on your own property, there are a number of secure motorhome storage facilities available. These facilities typically offer a variety of features, such as perimeter fencing, CCTV, and alarm systems.

Top Tips for Motorhome Camping

Chausson 660 Titanium Ultimate New Motorhome

Motorhome camping is a great way to explore new places and enjoy the outdoors. But it's important to be prepared before you go. Here are 10 tips for motorhome camping:

1. Choose the right campsite. When choosing a campsite, consider the size of your motorhome, the amenities you need, and the activities you want to do. Some campsites are designed specifically for motorhomes, while others are more general.
2. Plan your route. Before you set off on your trip, plan your route and make reservations at campsites along the way. This will help to ensure that you have a place to stay each night.
3. Pack carefully. Motorhomes have limited storage space, so it's important to pack carefully. Only bring the essentials, and consider using packing cubes to help organize your belongings.
4. Set up your motorhome carefully. Once you arrive at your campsite, take some time to set up your motorhome carefully. Make sure that it is level and secure, and that you have access to all of the amenities you need.
5. Conserve water and electricity. Motorhomes have limited water and electricity supplies, so it's important to conserve them. Take shorter showers, turn off lights when you're not using them, and unplug appliances when they're not in use.
6. Be prepared for anything. Mother Nature can be unpredictable, so it's important to be prepared for anything when you're motorhome camping. Pack a first-aid kit, emergency supplies, and a plan for what to do in case of bad weather or other emergencies.
7. Be respectful of your surroundings. Motorhome camping is a great way to enjoy the outdoors, but it's important to be respectful of your surroundings. Leave no trace and be mindful of the noise you make.
8. Take advantage of the storage space. Chausson motorhomes are known for their efficient use of space. Make sure to take advantage of all the storage compartments available. You can use them to store everything from food and clothes to camping gear and sporting equipment.
9. Relax in the comfort of your own home. Chausson motorhomes are designed to be comfortable and luxurious. So relax and enjoy your time on the road.
10. Have fun! Motorhome camping is a great way to relax and enjoy time with your family and friends. So make the most of it and have fun!
