Frequently Asked Questions
How can I maximise storage and organisation inside my caravan's limited space?
The best way to maximise limited space is to utilise vertical surfaces and adhesive storage solutions (like storage pockets) for small, essential belongings. This approach keeps items secure during travel, ensuring clutter-free living and boosting your peace of mind while on the road.
What should I use for external storage of dirty gear during a trip?
Instead of cluttering the interior, use exterior accessories like a Spare Wheel Bin. This provides immediate, accessible storage for rubbish or dirty camping gear, keeping the mess and odours away from the caravan and promoting cleanliness.
Why should I use products like De Flappers on my caravan awning?
De Flappers are essential for peace of mind because they stabilise the awning fabric, preventing the noisy, damaging wind-flapping that can tear the material. Stabilising the awning also makes it secure enough to attach additional services like an Awning Clothesline.
What's the best type of furniture for a limited space in a caravan?
The best furniture is anything collapsible or foldable. Products like folding camp cupboards and collapsible bins provide essential storage when set up, but quickly fold flat to be stored without taking up limited space during transit, adding great convenience.
What safety checks can organisation tools help with when parking the caravan?
Tools like a Chock and Leveller are vital for vehicle security and safety at different locations. They ensure level living (preventing belongings from sliding) and reduce strain on the caravan chassis, which is key to long-term vehicle health.
