Storing your caravan equipment is an important consideration and it reminds you that looking after your caravan needs to be on your mind throughout the year, and not just in the periods before and after a holiday. You invest heavily in caravan equipment and in many cases this is essential for a successful caravan holiday, so you also need to think about how and where these items are stored, so you get good value for money from your investment, and so your items are immediately ready for use when you get them out of storage.
It is easy to think about the basic items you need for a caravan holiday, such as sleeping bags, portable chairs for sitting outside and a barbecue for those sunny evenings when you want to stay outside and soak up the great outdoors. But there are other caravan items which are crucial to a successful holiday, and which also need storing carefully and protecting. These are the items you may not consider too important, but which would be a disaster if you uncovered them on the day of your trip, to find they were damaged or ruined. Or just as bad, you can’t find them because they don’t have a dedicated storage space.
The caravan essentials you need to store and protect
So, here we have listed the forgotten caravan essentials you need to store and protect:
- TV – An important lifeline to the real world for the kids, and a source of entertainment when the weather isn’t great. People often use an old or a spare TV for dedicated use in a caravan, but this still needs to be stored carefully and protected. Our padded TV storage bags protect your TV while in storage.
- Cables – We take so many portable gadgets on trips that they have become essential, but they rarely have a universal cable that services them all. So get organised and keep all your essential charging and power cables together in a dedicated cables bag.
- Awnings – People need space to escape each other, or just to enjoy some fresh air, and awnings serve as an essential item to extend the caravan and let people breathe. Protect the fabric and the quality of your awnings by helping keep them dry in between trips.
- Generator – A generator can be an essential power source for everyday living while in a caravan, and even if it is just a back-up, you need to keep it protected for safety reasons during your trip and in between trips. Our generator bags keep your generator protected in storage, but also during the trip in bad weather.
- Wellies and boots – There is nothing worse than trailing wet and mud into a caravan after a long walk, or not being able to find your outdoor boots and walking gear before your trip. Invest in wellies and boots storage to keep these items visible and in good condition, and to keep your caravan clean.
- Gas bottles – Much like a generator, this is an essential item that carries a safety risk and therefore needs to be protected. You can also store bottles between trips using our gas bottle storage covers.
- Bikes - A family bicycle trip is a great way to pass the time and enjoy the great outdoors on your camping trip and our bike protective covers help keep bikes out of the way, but safe and protected during and after your trip.
