There are many things to be aware of before booking a caravan holiday and once it’s all booked, you’ll want to start packing.
Packing can be a stressful part of your holiday preparation, as you want to ensure you don’t forget anything, whilst avoiding overpacking.
Before you head off on your caravan trip or have a look at static caravans for sale, here are some essentials to help you pack wisely!
Versatility is key
When it comes to packing, one of the most challenging things to pack are the clothes you’ll be bringing and how many different items you’ll need.
It’s particularly important to stay on top of what sort of weather you’ll be expecting whilst you’re away, but the weather can change dramatically from day to day, so it’s important to pack for versatility.
Even though you may have a rough idea of the weather forecast during your stay, it can be unpredictable, so it might be useful to pack a wide variety of outfits for weather variations and the activities you’ll be doing.
Bring some waterproof outfits, as well as items to keep you protected from the sun just to make sure you’re prepared for all types of circumstances.
Food
Food is another important aspect when it comes to packing and how much you pack depends on how often you plan on cooking, in comparison to trying out local restaurants.
It’s always good to have some standard essentials that you can always use as a backup or snack items for times you’re not out to eat, including long-life items. If you’ve bought a caravan, you could keep them in there until your return, saving you even more space for next time!
Electronics and chargers
Staying in a caravan can be transformed into a home from home, so you might already have some things ready for you, like a TV.
However, it’s important to remember those chargers for all of the electronics you might be taking to ensure you’re fully charged up and ready to take some holiday photos!
Toiletries
Again, being a home away from home, you’ll need all of your hygiene essentials to keep you fresh with all of your adventuring whilst away.
A good tip for handy toiletries is to bring bars of soap, in comparison to gel soap – bars are more eco-friendly and they will save some room in your suitcase!
Travel-sized items aren’t always the best value and if you’ve bought a static caravan, you can keep full-sized items in your caravan ready for your next getaway…
Cleaning essentials
Another great packing idea is cleaning bits to keep your caravan spick and span – you don’t need to do any heavy cleaning whilst away (you’re on holiday), but it may be nice to keep it looking beautiful.
Some good essentials include antibacterial wipes and small tea towels that are easy to pack, take up little space, and are quick to use – ensuring your caravan stays fresh!
With a few tips on what to bring on your next static caravan holiday, do you feel more prepared for your many adventures to come?
