A caravan is definitely a great thing to have for those who love travelling and seeking adventure. It serves as both transport and accommodation in one and with the right gears and accessories, you could actually make your stay in the caravan a lot comfortable just like home.
When you first got your caravan, you need to invest in some gears and accessories to boost the functionality of your truck. Here are some of the must-haves that you shouldn’t miss out.
Awning
A caravan awning serves as an extended roof for a certain part of your caravan. It is usually installed on the side of the caravan for extra protection against the sun and the rain. While your caravan already has its own roof, having an extra shaded part adds more comfort even if you’re in the middle of nowhere. Wherever you park your caravan, you’ll always have an additional shaded part which could add to the floor area of your trailer.
Electricity Cable
Electricity is one of the essential facilities we need for everyday comfort and convenience. If you’re going out on an adventure in your caravan, having an electricity cable makes it easier to hook into a power source and have electricity in your trailer. Aside from having lights, you can also use all kinds of appliances in the caravan, making your stay more comfortable.
Water Carrier
Fresh water supply is an issue when you’re in your caravan. Unlike at home, your caravan is not connected to a freshwater supply so you’re only limited to the amount that you carry. A freshwater container is huge and could hold up to a drum of water. With a connector, you can connect it to your caravan and have fresh water whenever you needed it – whether you want a wash, make some coffee, and all other activities that use water.
Caravan Steps
A caravan is really high and it’s almost impossible to get on it without having a sort of step. Installing a caravan step makes it easier and safer to go up your caravan. Be sure that the steps are made from strong and durable material to ensure safety with every step.
Waste Container
Caravans aren’t connected to a sewer system or any waste processing system. You really have to keep in mind how to dispose your waste properly when staying in a caravan. A waste container is an essential add on to keep your caravan hygienic wherever you go. It is best to have a different waste container for the kitchen and bathroom for better waste management. The caravan could carry the waste until you find a right spot to dispose it properly and safely.
Those are just some of the must-have accessories and gears you could add to improve your caravan. There are still plenty of accessories and gears out there and you could even add depending on your needs or preferences such as a television, a gas hob, and many more. This list is all about the essentials, so you will not find anything that is too frivolous. There are a few items which may seem like they are not necessary but trust me, they are!
