We always bring ours home in the winter.  I like to get them laundered and keep them aired.  They lived in the under bed storage in one of our spare bedrooms

We have the van on the drive, so easy to bring things into the house, where fortunately we have space for stuff.

Small cushions, pillows and duvets come inside, caravan upholstery is left in place.

We do not usually use the van between mid November and late March.

That is really helpful.

thank you everyone.

we though we had to bring the quilts and pillows home each trip if the weather was cold and damp. This will make things so nice and easy. We will just bring them home for the winter

We do tend to leave them most of the time but bring them home to clean from time to time. The biggest risk I think is mice finding them and making a nest though.

we use the large vacuum bags to store caravan duvets and pillows. seems to work well for us we leave our van in Spain fron October untill March. just need fluffing up when you get them out.

Hope this helps Pete

Our last trip of the year is usually October - then its not used against until spring. We have a big clean-out pre-winter storage and bring most things home including all bedding, throws, fabrics etc - even the kitchen crockery, plates, pans etc! This is all then super-fresh like new for our first outing of the new year :)
