Make your holiday more environmentaly friendly

A few tips to help you!



Drive sensibly!


Tip one is as old as the pneumatic tyre itself. A correctly inflated tyre produces less rolling resistance and provides more mpg. Driving smoothly and looking ahead to anticipate anything that may cause harsh braking and acceleration is green friendly and saves money, too.

Use LED Lights


LED lights tend to be more efficient than traditional filament bulbs. Making the alteration doesn't only save energy but prolongs life of the battery on those 12V-only breaks. See LED Linear Lights for a choice of LED lights for you caravan interior.

Invest in a Solar Panel


Solar panel technology has moved on. Even on overcast days, panels can provide clean and green power for your caravan. Look at Solar Panels for a selection of panels for your caravan.

Get fit!


Invest in a pushbike and cycle rack; you’d be surprised just how much fun you’ll have and just how much fuel you’ll save once you’ve pitched up. There are a huge variety of bike racks in our large range of caravan accessories to suit the needs of your caravan and how many bikes you will need. See Fiamma Bike Racks where you will find one to meet your specific requirements.

Don't waste water


Make sure you do not waste water on site. Use a Fill-up to make it easier to get water into your water carrier without spilling any. They are available in 1 metre, 2 metre and 5 metre lengths.
