FAQs - Caravan Parts & Accessories

Caravan accessories refer to various items designed to improve your caravanning experience. These include practical essentials that ensure a smooth and safe journey, such as ventilation and filtration systems, levelling devices, and towing equipment. Comfort-related accessories include portable furniture, toilets, and kitchens. Safety accessories can protect your caravan with alarms, locks, and fire extinguishers. Entertainment accessories like outdoor speakers, portable TVs, and Wi-Fi gadgets exist.

The essential accessories depend on your travel destination, trip duration, and personal preferences. Basic safety items include a first aid kit, a fire extinguisher, and a communication device for emergencies when there’s no phone signal. Towing essentials include towing mirrors for better visibility, tow bars, chocks, or wheel clamps for security and to prevent wheel movement. For recovery situations (e.g., if your car gets stuck), you’ll need gear like gloves, wheel ramps, a shovel, and self-recovery or snatch recovery equipment to help free a vehicle using another.

Selecting the right caravan accessories involves considering your caravan’s layout, size, and the type of trips you’ll take. Consider your main priorities, whether safety, comfort, or convenience, and choose accessories accordingly. It’s helpful to ask for recommendations, read reviews, and consult with experienced caravanners to guide your choices.

The weight of your caravan will be influenced by the accessories you add, but it’s crucial to avoid exceeding your vehicle's weight limit (which can be found in the owner’s manual). Towing adds weight and can affect fuel consumption, vehicle handling, and braking performance. When calculating your load, consider the total weight of your vehicle, passengers, any modifications (e.g., roof racks), and the weight of items in both your tow vehicle and caravan. Heavy accessories like gas bottles, water tanks, generators, and bike racks contribute significantly to the overall weight and any additional weight gained during the trip, such as toilet waste cassettes or grey water tanks.
