Caravan Questions

An 18v cordless drill will handle it easily.
I have used one for some time but have now gone back to the OLD handle because,
1. I need the exercise.
2. Do not need to carry drill and charger etc.


Roll out awning.... Always pull awning out from center if possible.
I put some stick on Velcro on pull cord and the other half onto awning to stop any flap when wound up.

Packing....
Do a shake down cruise and take everything you think you will need for an extended trip. Then as you use each item mark it with a tick using a felt pen then when you get home if it does not have the tick of approval leave it out in future.

Lastly get yourself a small plastic tool box from a $2 shop and make yourself up a first aid kit (or purchase one and add it into the box) and do not forget to add some cold and flu tablets.

Not sure if I'm reading you right here, Bazzer - but those wind-down legs only need winding back in a bit, just enough to clear the floor and maybe a bit more. You don't need to wind em in all the way and then there's not much winding to do anyway. No need for a drill.

Awning: it's really a case of getting used to the routine but in a moderate wind they often sound more flappy than they actually are, especially when you're in bed. If it does get very windy, just wind it in to be on the safe side.
