    1. Clean it

    2. Bung your stuff back in

    3. See if everything works

    Seriously, why would you need a list, Roosky? It's just common sense but this is a good place to shout for help when you find something that doesn't work.

    Well, this is the first time we've had to do it, as we only got the caravan last year.  So I'm wondering about stuff like sterilising the water system, for example.  Should you, or is it enough just to run clean water through it ?

    Onboard tanks - maybe. Outside barrels - not really. Do you use it for drinking? That could be the decider. I have never done more than change the filter but we do not drink water from the van's system. 

    Are there any tips in your handbook? Just do what suits you. It's largely trial and error.
