Hello.

please could you tell me if it ok to leave the quilts and pillows in the van when it is in storage for a few weeks in the winter , spring, autumn?

I wouldn't leave them over winter but otherwise it's never been a problem to Ieave them in their usual storage cupboard.

Store in our motorhome all year round. In the winter when we rarely tour they are stored inside large plastic bags.  In fact we keep everything in our van ready for swift getaways 😀.

Our sleeping bags are always brought home and dry cleaned ready for the next trip away . Pillows are left in the van in plastic bags and kept in a bed locker.

We always bring ours home over winter. Apart from a few days after the annual service, we don't usually use the van between November and March.

We just take the covers in for washing and leave some bedding in the van, because as we all no all British built caravans are totally damp free,  JOKE. wink

We brIng ours home for the winter (generally end of November until we use the caravan in the New Year - this year that was 12th February.  Stuff has been in the van since then and will stay there until November.  We have been out twice already and hope to continue with short outings until our main summer holiday.  Then back to short outings until November.
