Off the Grid…Caravan Style

Off the Grid…Caravan Style



Whilst caravanning has taken the U.K by storm, a few hardy souls have decided to take that next step by going completely off the grid and calling their caravan home 365 days a year. If this is a lifestyle choice that you have been contemplating, you will find that sprucing up your organizational skills is a necessary precondition for success.

Escape from the stresses of life??



Whether it's the desire to shed materialistic trappings, the need to get closer to nature, or financial incentives have prompted the decision, successfully living in such a confined space requires logistical precision that practically demands equipping your rig with caravan accessories if any semblance of your sanity is to be preserved.

Irritating problems to solve!



It’s the little things you will notice first. Perhaps it’s that galley cupboard that flies open every time you veer to the left. Maybe it’s the complete lack of available storage space that sees your books and clothes engaged in an ongoing ballet to achieve primacy of place within your limited space. Regardless of the annoyance that's currently dominating your attention, there’s probably a caravan accessory designed to make your life easier.

Prior to selling your flat and hitting the road therefore, it behooves you to shop around for the organizational aids that have been developed to make caravanning 24/7 easier. Whether it’s door restrainers, which can be solved very cheaply with a Nylon door retainer or a more substantial product could be an Alloy Door Retainer, or storage boxes of which you will find many examples on Leisureshopdirect.com. Have a look at Fiamma Ultra Top Box Type 3 or a Fiamma Ultra-Box Rear 360 whhich would give plenty of storage room. You will be glad you geared up before disconnecting from the grid.
