Essential Items for a Trouble Free Holiday in your caravan!

There are a few items that will make life easier and more comfortable when caravanning. Most of these things you will discover you need when you miss them - but why delay till then!

Drying Racks. Having a family while in the caravan you will have a number of wet towels each morning! A drying rack that hangs on the caravan window is ideal and can be used with or without an awning. In our caravan accessories section, look at the hook on airer on www.leisureshopdirect.com (our ref 18624). Alternatively a Rotary airer with tripod stand (our ref 133187) is easy and convenient to use.

Waste bin- Putting waste into supermarket bags soon loses its appeal inside a hot caravan! You can make use of supermarket bags by using our Bag Bin (ref 125690) A small flip lid bin isn't very exciting but a handy purchase, see our Garbina Waste Disposal Unit (ref 125694)

Crockery China plates etc. are not happy caravanning partners. A set of melamine crockery is a must have and modern designs can complement today’s caravans. Have a look at the 16pcs - Linea Design Melamine Crockery Set our ref 138125.
Once you have done the washing-up, a folding dish drainer is an ideal way to save valuable space. Have a look at the selection of drainers by clicking Caravan Kitchen Drainers

Storage Plastic collapsible crates have countless uses in a caravan - food storage, washing-up transport, clothes storage, toy boxes, the list is endless. Have a look at our the Foldable Baskets ref 105579 for a smaller one and 105163 for the 32 litre sized basket.

TIP: If you have fixed bunks inside the caravan and toddlers, the ladder becomes an irresistible adventure for budding climbers. To prevent a serious fall, bungee a collapsed plastic crate over the bottom two steps to stop further upwards progress and be sure piece of mind!
