Going on your first caravan adventure? Not sure where to start in terms of packing? Fortunately, we’ve got you covered.
Forgetting even just one essential item can cause a whole lot of inconvenience on your camping trip. But with these essential caravan parts packed and ready to go, you can rest assured knowing that you have all the basics to guarantee a pleasurable trip:
Levelling Blocks
Levelling blocks are non-negotiable if you want to be able to visit a variety of different campsites with your caravan. After all, not every campsite is going to offer a smooth and level surface. If you want to be able to park your caravan at a variety of different places, it’s important to have levelling blocks on hand, so that you can keep your caravan stable on all kinds of different terrains. Keeping your caravan level will prevent you from having to deal with cupboard or shower doors that randomly swing open, along with appliance issues or plumbing issues. You can get these, along with many other caravan parts and accessories from Supex Products.
Tyre Chocks
Tyre chocks, also known as wheel chocks, are another important caravan essential that you’ll need to keep your caravan from rolling down slopes. When used together with levelling blocks, tyre chocks will help to keep your caravan fully stabilised and stationary. Needless to say, they are an absolute must-have if you want to avoid having your camper trailer move spontaneously from its initial position and cause damage or even potentially injuries.
Surge Protector
Surge protectors are an important caravan essential for electrical safety. In the event that something goes wrong (such as a lightning strike or a sudden power outage) after you’ve connected your caravan to the campsite’s electrical source, your surge protector will act as a kill switch; cutting the power and protect you and your caravan from any electrical damage caused by these issues.
Tool Kit
It’s always a good idea to have a basic tool kit on hand. After all, you never know what kind of issues might surprise you throughout the entirety of your trip. With a basic tool kit, you can respond to issues promptly and mitigate the amount damage that they cause before you are able to seek help elsewhere. Some essentials to keep in your caravan tool kit include spanners, screwdrivers, a hydraulic jack, duct tape, cable ties, wheel braces and grease or lubricant.
Caravan Steps
Caravan steps might seem like an unnecessary investment, but the fact is that they make a world of difference- especially when you’re camping with people who are young, injured, pregnant or elderly. Basically, caravan steps make it easier for you and your fellow campers to enter and exit your caravan, without having to strain yourself. If you want to avoid lunging in and out of your caravan multiple times a day, caravan steps are a worthwhile investment for your camper trailer.
