When we came back the following season we had quite a lot of mould to clean up. In the 9 years since we haven't bothered with the salt in bowls and have had very little mould. I think the salt attract the damp and it is very damp around Loch Lomond. We take all the bedding and cushions home at the end of the season.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917582087359676920.post-45142219626598193912012-10-12T22:14:57.150+01:002012-10-12T22:14:57.150+01:00Donegal is beautiful at any time of year I think.Donegal is beautiful at any time of year I think.The mum of all tradeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15834277006933337733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917582087359676920.post-27967844228629461292012-10-12T18:00:51.199+01:002012-10-12T18:00:51.199+01:00I'm so glad you asked!

I'm no expert on caravans but closed ours up last year and was given handy hints. Definitely go with the bowls of salt (or2!) in each room. You'll be amazed how much moisture they've taken up when you re-open in Spring. Pull your sofa cushions away from under the windows to avoid any condensation dripping onto the upholstery. And remember to empty your fridge, clean and leave door slightly ajar if you're turning it off. Have a fab weekend missus! B xxBronaghnoreply@blogger.com
