There’s nothing quite like hitting the road with your caravan. Just think of endless coastlines, red dirt roads, and wide-open skies waiting to be explored. But every great trip relies on more than just a tank of fuel and a good playlist. Having the right caravan accessories on board can make all the difference between a smooth, comfortable journey and a stressful one.
Whether you’re a seasoned traveller or gearing up for your first trip, these 15 must-have caravan accessories will help make your adventures safer, easier and a whole lot more enjoyable.
Uneven campsites are part of the adventure, but nobody enjoys sleeping on a slant or a fridge that won’t stay cold. Levelling ramps make it easy to stabilise your caravan and keep everything balanced, even on rough terrain.
Pro tip: Keep a small spirit level handy so you can get your setup just right on the first go.
Once you’ve levelled your caravan, keep it in place with sturdy wheel chocks. They’re small, simple, and absolutely essential for safety, especially on sloped or uneven ground.
After a long day’s drive, the last thing you want is to trip getting into your van. A strong, non-slip caravan step makes entry safer and more comfortable for everyone.
A good-quality awning mat keeps dust, dirt, and sand out of your caravan. It also creates a clean, soft area to relax outside, perfect for morning coffees, barefoot evenings, and keeping your living space tidy.
Privacy screens add shade, shelter, and a sense of seclusion to your setup. They also help block wind and harsh sunlight, turning your awning into a comfortable outdoor room you can enjoy all day long.
Simple but essential. Durable, lightweight camping chairs and a fold-out table make every meal or sunset session more enjoyable. Choose ones that pack down easily to save space on the road.
Clean water is a must for any trip. A food-grade water hose and a good filter ensure you have safe, fresh water for cooking, drinking, and cleaning wherever you go.
Reliable power keeps everything running smoothly. Carry a 15-amp power lead, plus an adaptor for connecting to standard household outlets when needed. Always check your cables are heavy-duty and rated for caravan use.
Cooking outdoors is one of the best parts of camping life. A properly fitted gas bottle and regulator make setting up your BBQ or stove easy and safe. Always check for leaks before use and store bottles upright in a ventilated area.
A basic tool kit can be a lifesaver. Include essentials like screwdrivers, spanners, pliers, spare fuses, duct tape, and cable ties. You don’t need a workshop, just enough to handle small repairs or adjustments while travelling.
Safety first. Keep a well-stocked first aid kit on hand for cuts, scrapes, bites, and minor accidents. Make sure everyone in your group knows where it’s stored and how to use it.
A reliable jockey wheel makes hitching, unhitching, and moving your caravan far easier, especially in tight campsites. Choose one with a sturdy clamp and smooth rolling action for better control.
Protect your investment when it’s not in use. A high-quality caravan cover shields against UV rays, dust, and rain, helping prevent wear and tear while parked or stored.
Backing up a caravan can be tricky, even for experienced drivers. A reversing camera or a pair of extended towing mirrors make manoeuvring much safer and less stressful, especially in busy caravan parks or tight driveways.
Perfect for off-grid adventures, portable solar panels keep your batteries charged wherever you roam. Pair them with a regulator for safe, efficient power that lets you stay longer in remote spots.
