# Caravans Use

Purpose

To ensure the caravans remain clean, functional, and welcoming for all users while respecting the shared nature of the space. This protocol outlines guidelines for caravan usage, maintenance, and responsibilities.

Before Using a Caravan

1\. Inspect the Space:

• Check the caravan for cleanliness and functionality (e.g., lights, windows, bedding).

• Report any issues or damage to the maintenance team before use.<br>

During Use

1\. Respect the Space:

• Keep the caravan tidy. Store personal belongings neatly and avoid clutter.

• Use furniture, bedding, and appliances with care to avoid unnecessary wear and tear.

2\. Mind Energy Usage:

• Turn off lights, fans, or other electrical appliances when not in use.

• Use water conservatively if the caravan has a sink or connected water supply.

3\. Keep It Hygienic:

• Clean up spills or messes immediately to avoid attracting insects.

• If cooking, use proper ventilation and clean cooking surfaces after use.

4\. Noise Levels:

• Keep noise to a minimum, especially during designated quiet hours, to respect others nearby.
