Am not actually a caravan but a motorhome so hope it’s ok to be here.   we are going skiing in it in February.  Does anyone have any tips on anything about how best to keep the van happy in the snow.  We have a Eldis encore with Alde heating and we do have electric on the campsite.  But I am worried about the water freezing...plus where can you buy chains.  All advice  would be gladly received

 p.p.s

Make sure you lift your electric hookup cable out of the snow at regular intervals: it'll slowly sink into the ice when the sun comes up and  when more snow falls. If you don't, you might have a problem when you come to leave the site. You'll notice others doing this so it's a known problem. Alpine snow turns to ice or icy powder not long after it falls so make your snowman while you can/ have snowball fight. Only the Brits do this.

the sun does shine!
