Cleaning the camper is a fun activity for some, while for others it is horrible. No matter which side you are on, cleaning the camper is necessary on a regular basis. And not only a freshening up is necessary, also checking the water pipes, gas connection and other cables is a must. Most people clean their camper during spring cleaning and clean it completely again before setting it up during the winter.
Before you start cleaning it is important to tidy everything up first. Start by going around the camper and removing everything that does not belong there. Remove all loose dirt, put everything in its place and make it neat and tidy. Once you have done this you can start the real work.
In addition to the two major cleanings, interim maintenance is of course also very important. This has several advantages. You are in a clean caravan and that is especially hygienic. In addition, it also extends the lifespan of the interior. And it ensures that you have less to tidy up during the major cleanings!
