Your camper kitchen represents significant investment deserving proper care. Regular maintenance keeps everything functioning smoothly while preventing costly repairs.
Worktop Care
Laminate worktops clean easily with mild detergent and soft cloths. Avoid abrasive cleaners that damage protective surfaces. Wipe up spills promptly to prevent staining or water damage to edges.
Solid surface worktops tolerate more aggressive cleaning but still benefit from gentle treatment. Minor scratches often buff out with appropriate products.
Hinge and Runner Maintenance
Soft-close hinges and drawer runners need occasional lubrication to maintain smooth operation. Apply silicone-based lubricant to moving parts annually or when operation becomes stiff.
Check fixing screws periodically as vibration from driving can loosen connections over time.
Water System Care
Drain water systems when leaving your van unused for extended periods. Stagnant water encourages bacterial growth and can damage pumps.
Clean tanks and lines with appropriate sanitising solutions before seasonal use. Replace inline filters according to manufacturer recommendations.
Gas System Checks
Have gas systems professionally checked annually. Connections can loosen through vibration, creating potentially dangerous leaks. Never attempt gas repairs yourself.
Ventilation Maintenance
Clean ventilation grilles and fans regularly. Blocked ventilation affects both cooking efficiency and safety. Ensure extraction systems operate correctly before cooking with gas.
