Without the right TLC, these lovely vehicles often struggle on long journeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, we\u2019ve got a few tricks up our sleeve. These tips will help you prepare your camper for summer trips and also help with maintenance on the road. This ensures your journey will feel like an adventure and not like an anxiety-ridden trip!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-what-are-the-most-common-causes-of-campervan-breakdowns\">What are the most common causes of campervan breakdowns?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-tyres\">Tyres<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As tyres are the only part of your campervan that stays in contact with the ground, they are prone to wear and tear. As a result, it\u2019s important that you check your tyres regularly for cuts, damage or bulges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also integral to keep up with maintaining the vehicle\u2019s tyre tread and pressure. Tyre tread should have a minimum tread depth of 1.6mm. If your tyres have a depth of anything close to 1.6mm, you should change them before setting off on your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-insurance.co.uk\/blog\/breakdown\/summer-car-breakdowns\/\">summer holiday<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, given that campervans are often only used seasonally, they might not be prone to the same wear and tear as vehicles that are used daily but they will deteriorate as they get old. As a result, it\u2019s generally recommended that you change your tyres every five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A campervan\u2019s optimal tyre pressure will depend on its size, so be sure to check your manual and your tyres before setting off. Taking tyre and pressure gauges along with you is a great way of staying on top of this even while you\u2019re away with family or friends, or going on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-insurance.co.uk\/blog\/breakdown\/solo-road-trip-safety\/\">solo adventure<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-engine-oil\">Engine oil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to check your engine oil dipstick before setting off on a long journey. Check this regularly. If you notice your engine oil level goes down quickly, this could be a sign that you have engine issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you\u2019ve got the correct engine oil and transmission fluids for your vehicle. For example, a classic campervan will need a special type of engine oil that can be quite expensive. It might be a good idea to stock up before your journey so you\u2019re not left in the lurch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-battery\">Battery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you only use your campervan for summer holidays, it\u2019s important that you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-insurance.co.uk\/blog\/car\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-car-battery-maintenance\/\">check your battery<\/a> in advance of your trip. You may need to charge it up before setting off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-lights\">Lights<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Maintaining your lights is a legal requirement, so make sure you check them beforehand. It\u2019s always best to give them a wipe before you leave to ensure they\u2019re visible to other drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-wipers-and-screen-wash\">Wipers and screen wash<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is another often overlooked part of campervan maintenance, but it is in fact a legal requirement to keep them in good nick. Try your wipers before you leave. If they\u2019re damaged, they could leave smears on your windscreen, which would limit your vision. If this is the case, you\u2019ll probably need to replace them. Thankfully, this is usually quite a cheap job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you\u2019ve got enough screen wash before setting off too. This helps ensure you can maintain good visuals on the road ahead. You might want to keep a spare bottle of screen wash in your van, especially if you\u2019re planning a long journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sterling-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2020\/07\/shutterstock_85412485-wecompress.com_-1024x701.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5073\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-our-general-tips\">Our general tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-know-your-campervan\">Know your campervan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As campervans are usually only used during the summer months, issues can develop over the winter months unless you\u2019re regularly checking the vehicle. It\u2019s always important to check your campervan regularly for common issues with rust, damp or your brakes as problems in these parts can get out of control quite quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will help you understand what kind of work your campervan will need before you set off on your journey, which will help prevent future breakdowns. It\u2019ll also help you understand what you can fix yourself and what you\u2019ll need to consult a professional on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-keep-your-camper-safe\">Keep your camper safe<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you keep your campervan in as secure a location as possible when it\u2019s not in use. A garage is best as it can reduce exposure to the camper\u2019s worst enemy: damp. If you don\u2019t have access to a garage, keeping it on the driveway under a cover is the second-best option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-get-sterling-breakdown-cover\">Get Sterling breakdown cover<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here at Sterling, we offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-insurance.co.uk\/breakdown-cover\/breakdown-cover-uk\/\">affordable breakdown cover<\/a>.
