THE place to purchase your caravan accessories. Everything from air awnings to 4G routers. If you’re a beginner (we all were at some point) our Caravan Accessory Essentials list is a must for you.

Before making your first caravan trip, you’ll need to make sure you have everything you need,or as we call then essential caravan accessories. This includes items such as a fresh water container, sometimes called an Aquaroll, this will get fresh water into your caravan. You’ll then need a caravan accessories to deal with the water you’ve used, such as for washing up or showering. For this you’ll needs a waste container, one of the most popular being a waste master. This container sits under the two waste water outlets and all the water you use goes into this container. We use both of these products ourselves.

I know what you’re thinking, what about the toilet? Well, this has its own cassette and water tank for the flush. Having said that some newer caravans are using the water from the Aquaroll to flush the toilet. The only thing you’ll need to get you started is something to pour into your toilet cassette (this help to get rid of nasty smells and also break down any solids (we’ll leave that there). Typically these are pink and blue, although variations exist. Pink would go into the flush container and blue goes into the toilet cassette itself. We use this product ourselves (we especially like the smell of lavender).

Of course, your spending unfortunately does not stop there, we’ve only just started. If you think of your caravan as your home on wheels, you’ll need to start adding things that you use around the house. Cutlery, for example – plates, knives, forks, cups, bowls, glasses, you get the idea. Now there’s usually a running debate of whether to buy plastic (melamine) or china. The biggest concern people have is with the weight and breakability of china. Things do get battered around when towing. So that’s something to bear in mind.

Once you’ve got used to the idea of caravanning and you decide it is for you, one of the next purchases might be an awning. This is a tent like construct that attaches to your caravan. It gives you extra space, but larger ones can be tricky to erect.
