We always make sure to turn everything off when we leave - even if we're going back the next weekend.
So water, gas and electric all go off.
Also we've found that putting out small bowls of salt during the winter (and when we're not going to be there for a few months) helps absorb some of the moisture created.
And it sounds silly, but placing conkers around the van will keep the spider away!
