Most people living in great countries like Australia would love to take some vacation riding their RV. That’s why you need to have the best possible caravan accessories to ensure that your experience is the best.
It’s high time to discuss some of the most indispensable tools and accessories you need to have in your caravan when going on a road trip. Here is a comprehensive but not limited list of the hot items you should have to enjoy your excursion without any unpleasant surprises.
Maps
First, you need to know where you are going and what is the right highway to follow to your destination. We know that we live in the Google maps era, but it’s not a bad idea to have a printed map with you.
Imagine that Google may not operate in several spots, and the cell phone reception could be poor, so having a printed map that has all the latest routes and shortcuts to ensure you will find your way through the wilderness.
Internal Thermal Blinds
The places you travel could be extremely hot. You don’t want your car to have a nasty temperature. So it’s a lot better to have some internal thermal blinds.
They keep the sunshine away from your car’s indoor space. At the same time, they reflect the sun’s rays back to the environment keeping the inside of your car as cool as possible. Not to mention that they also filter UV radiation to keep you safe and sound from sunburns.
External Sun Water Boilers
What is better than a short shower with warm water when you have finally reached your destination? However, if you want to have a shower with warm water, you need to have adjusted an external sun water boiler at the rear tip of your caravan.
It’s a simple accessory to have and it can store as much as 15 gallons of water. That quantity is more than enough for the whole family to have a quick shower and be ready for a nap or another short excursion in the nearest city or village.
Towing Mirror Pair
If you like to tow your caravan, you will find it extremely useful to have a set of towing mirrors adjusted on your car. These mirrors help you to see what comes behind your car and assist you when you take short curves from the driver’s or passenger’s side.
Having some mirrors that you can remove easily is the right thing to do. Caravan accessories can guarantee your satisfaction and ensure you will remove them during the night or when you park to avoid having someone steal them.
Portable Grills
Portable grills using charcoal or even natural gas are very popular caravan accessories. You can have meat and veggies stored in your freezer and then place them directly on the portable grill to satisfy your hanger.
Remember to use your portable grills only in designated places in national parks to avoid getting a fine from park rangers when they see you during their patrol service.
Thermoelectric Coolers
Today you need to have some thermoelectric coolers that can connect directly to the caravan’s battery. Charging them is not hard, and they can handle carrying perishable goods like milk, butter, etc.
With thermoelectric coolers, you can have some solar panels to restore the battery power during the day. These coolers will give you a chance to enjoy cool water when you are thirsty or even keep your wine to the best temperature when you want to have dinner with your soulmate.
Magnetic Cup Holders
There is a chance you don’t know where to place your coffee mug while performing other tasks. That should not be a problem when you have the magnetic cup holders as an additional caravan accessory.
These magnetic cup holders remain strong and robust. They can get stuck to any metallic surface. And your caravan has many metallic surfaces to place the magnetic cup holders and store your coffee or tea.
Having these cupholders makes it more possible to get rehydrated sooner and makes you healthier during your long trips in the wilderness.
Expandable Laundry Bags
Finally, we know that you like to change clothes every day. But where should you place your dirty clothes when you live in a small caravan?
It would be best if you had some expandable laundry bags that will come with your caravan and take up no space in the beginning.
Then you can leave the dirty laundry bags at the nearest clothes cleaning service and have them ready and ironed the day after. These expandable laundry bags are easy to carry with you in the caravan. They are completely waterproof and can easily handle all the family clothes that need cleaning throughout your journey.
