Caravan Accessories
Once you’ ve purchased your caravan, as if that wasn’t difficult and expensive enough, you then have to decide on caravan accessories. Just like when moving into a new house, you need to purchase things to put in it. I don’t mean furniture etc, but you need bit and pieces, a whole host of caravan accessories. I’m so sorry, but this is going to be expensive. It is, of course, up to you how much you spend but there are certainly some caravan accessories that are essential. Let’s have a look.
As mentioned above, there are some caravan accessories you will need. Unless of course you were lucky enough to get some of these included into your purchase. Like a house a caravan needs a certain amount of “services”. Such as electricity, water and gas. OK, not all of these are technically necessary, but if you consider yourself a normal everyday human being that likes a certain amount of comfort, you’ll need services. True, you can sit in a field, in your caravan, just using the battery to power the lights and if you have a solar panel your battery might last for a while. However, most of us won’t do that regularly.

You’ll see some caravan accessories at the bottom of this page. It’s ok just getting the essential, but if you want to eat something, you’ll need plates and cutlery. To start with you can bring things from home, bare in mind though and this will become a regular consideration bordering on obsession and that’s the weight of EVERYTHING! So, like replacing china and metal things with plastic. Of course, not everyone thinks it’s necessary, it really depends on how much you let things worry you. There is of course a real safety concern with an overweight caravan, so you should think carefully about what you put into the caravan before towing. Everything has a weight to it.
