    Couple of things to take away / chip in

    tyres could be older than the caravan - go of tyre date code not delivery date

    There are "recommendations" to check condition at x years and replace at y years. Whilst not legal "musts", you may find yourself on the wrong side of your insurance company if asking for a payout caused by blowouts on old tyres if reasonable care / advice
    hasn't been followed. 

    Removing wheels over winter may be good for tyres but do check your insurance carefully, as if you haven't taken precautions to stop a thief coming along and putting a set of wheels on you may be helping them steal your caravan.

    We were on holiday and had a really very hot and sunny week in Devon and as a result the off side tyre turned brown due I think to the stronge sun while the awning side was unaffected.  SInce that happened we have used covers summer and winter, that happened
    in 2002.
