When buying a second hand caravan – have it tested for leaks and wood rot – don’t just accept the word of the salesman – he is a salesman! (Not suggesting that they are all dishonest!)
At the camp – check for tell tales of water run-offs at the site.
Determine where is east and west and where you will have best shade.
Park under a tree? What about birds and their droppings?
Distance from the ablutions other facilities, playgrounds, shops etc.
