■ Insulation
Motorcaravanning during the winter is a unique experience, and with a little preparation, a hugely positive one.
For starters, it really helps if you have a motorhome or campervan with the best insulation possible. Those hardy folk who decide to head out on tour in the worst weather conditions will benefit from looking for a motorhome or camper boasting Grade 3 insulation.
This is the official accreditation for four-season use, otherwise known as BS EN 1645-1 accreditation.
The NCC manages this accreditation, and all accredited vehicles are embossed with a special ‘Approved’ badge.
It makes hundreds of British and EU standard compliance checks on leisure vehicles. One section of BS EN 1645-1 covers levels of thermal insulation.
Each model is chilled to -15°C in a cold chamber.
