Is your motorhome in Peak condition for the British winter?

Peak Leisure Vehicles say ‘Yes’ to winter wandering

Despite Motorhome holidays often being associated with the summer and fine weather, Derby’s Peak Leisure Vehicles are seeing a rise in customers using their motorhomes throughout the winter and are advising travelers to make sure their vehicle is properly checked and prepared for the colder weather. With their vehicle systems check service priced at just £45.00, Peak Leisure Vehicles can ensure their customers travel with peace of mind and stay happy campers year round, despite the weather.

With motorhomes growing in popularity, and newer models like Bentley’s new motorhome range sold at Peak Leisure Vehicles’ Kirk Langley showroom offering modern facilities and comforts, motorhomes are increasingly becoming the choice of many. Built to withstand all weather conditions, and fitted with reliable heating systems and improved insulation, buyers of modern motorhomes are now less likely to put their investment away in storage as soon as the cold weather begins to draw in, and are looking for ways to get maximum use from their purchase, all year round.

“There certainly seems to be a rise in people using their motorhomes year round,” said Peak Leisure Vehicles’ director Claire Parsons. “More campsites are staying open year round and as the facilities in modern motorhomes become more comfortable and reliable people are seeing the benefit of using them all year round. The roads are quieter, campsites are less crowded and when someone has made a big investment like a motorhome, they want to make the most of their purchase, not put it away for half of the year.”

Although Peak Leisure Vehicles can see the benefits of using a motorhome in all seasons, they are warning that it is vital to be prepared, so that both travellers and vehicles survive the cold weather safely and comfortably. For example, fitting external blinds will reduce the amount of condensation in your motorhome; snow chains might be needed in certain areas; and a grip mat will solve any traction problems after pitching up. These are just some pointers given by Claire and Steve Parsons, owners of Peak Leisure Vehicles.

“Although motorhomes are now built to withstand winter weather, it is still advisable to give vehicles a full check up and make sure you are properly prepared,” says Claire. “At Peak Leisure Vehicles, we can provide customers with a check list and some pointers for safe winter travel. We always advise that you should check the battery, oil levels, gas and water systems, along with other features. For customers not confident in carrying out a mini-service themselves, we can do this for them to ensure everything is working properly and give them piece of mind.”

Peak Leisure Vehicles can carry out your motor home’s system check up for as little as £45.00 – a small price for putting your mind at rest that your investment is ‘holiday-worthy’ for the winter season, whether looking to enjoy the changing seasons in this country or embarking on a longer journey in search of winter sun.

With a well stocked accessories shop in the Kirk Langley showroom, also available online at www.motorhome-accessories.com, Peak Leisure Vehicles can make sure you have everything to get you and your motorhome through the winter.
