Top Six Must-Have Caravan Supplies for a Comfortable Road Trip

  • Written by Eleena Wills


Going on a caravan road trip is one of the most exhilarating methods of experiencing the locations of Australia. However, to make the journey comfortable special arrangements have to be made. Choosing the right caravan supplies for your journey can be the make-or-break factor in your trip. This list of recommended supplies will help the timeframe whether you are a novice caravanner or a frequent traveller. In addition, we’ve also compiled some tips for safely packing your caravan or off road camper for a road trip to enable you to plan well to move as planned.

  1. Caravan Fridge 

One of the caravan essentials that no one should be without is a caravan fridge. Because it retains the freshness of your food and cools your drinks while sparing you the trouble of frequent trips to supermarkets or ice sellers. 

Ideal models are small-sized energy efficient and most of today’s fridges come in dual evaporators where you can set the freezer section and the cool section. 

Consider the power options range of fridges before purchasing a particular model because it should be compatible with both 12V, 240V, and gas in any place that you are. When one buys a quality fridge, it guarantees one preserving fresh produce, meats and dairy products to make off-grid camping less complicated. 

  1. First Aid Kit

Preventative measures take precedence in any travels on the road especially to unknown places, an emergency may occur and a doctor is nowhere in sight. Primary essentials that should be in a first aid kit include; bandages, anti-bacterial wipes, pain killers, insect repellent as well as essentials for treating cuts, burns and allergies. 

Whenever you are preparing for the next trip, make sure no item has reached its expiry or is out of stock. It’s going to come in handy if you or someone you’re with gets injured on the road in some way.

  1. Portable Power Supply

Staying connected is very important, even if you are out of reach of an Internet connection. Battery banks in the form of power banks, solar panels, or batteries for charging devices for navigation, communication and entertainment.

Some chargers are solar-based and particularly those that are designed to work in extreme weather, they are perfect for charging phones, tablets and even small gadgets. In case of more power demands then a portable generator or a lithium battery pack is good to ensure smooth running of the appliances. 

  1. Cooking Equipment

Well, the article stipulates that no road trip can be an interesting one without having great meals for the journey. Cooking requirements consist of the portable gas stove, barbecue, and basic cooking equipment and instruments. 

If you’re going to be making use of an existing caravan kitchen you’ll require other necessities such as pots, pans, cutting boards and other kitchen knives. Take canned foods, condiments, pasta, rice and the like to cut down on the number of trips to the supermarket. 

That is why lightweight and collapsible cookware is preferred because it takes up very little space in the caravan. 

  1. Water Storage and Filtration 

As we know we must have clean water to drink when we travel in areas with no access to any shops and food. Each caravan has its built-in water tank, but it is necessary to carry additional portable water tanks in case of an emergency. Water purification systems or tablets are also needed in case you are going to treat water from various sources that you are going to get from.

 Some aspects of travel such as hygiene, proper washing, taking of water etc become so easy when one has the privilege of clean water on the road. 

  1. Comfortable Bedding and Linen

If you fail to sleep well the night before you leave, chances are high that you will not enjoy your road trip in any way. Pack appropriate clothes for sleeping, pillows, sleeping bags, sheets, and blankets to help you get a good night's sleep. Again, because of changing weather, it is advised to match clothing that’ll be sophisticated for both warm and cool temperatures at night.

Some examples may include taking beds in the form of rolls where they take little space or taking sleeping bags that are usually rollable. Choose all bedding pieces to be washable since one may get stained during the journey.

Conclusion

Before you set out on your next journey, remember our tips for safely packing your caravan for a road trip so that you don’t have to spend time trying to search for your stuff or rearrange items in your caravan during a road trip. 

Taking the time to plan your trip adequately means you will be prepared to handle all your outdoor adventures in Australia. Whether you are near the sea, in the desert, or the forest, with this necessary equipment, every trip can feel as comfortable as your own house. Well, so here I am in a nutshell, stay safe, think twice, and have fun while on the road!
