Accessories for Your Leisure Vehicle
You just bought your brand-new leisure vehicle. Now what? There are a variety of accessories that can make your new caravan or motorhome a more pleasant place to spend a holiday.
Water HoseYou need a way to connect your vehicle to the water source at your campsite. Purchase a few
water hoses in different lengths to ensure you can make a good connection.
Water FilterYou will use water from many different sources as you travel. Some water is drinkable out of the tap. Some has sediment and particles that need to be filtered out. A
motorhome water filter can help ensure you always have access to drinkable water.
Caravan & Motorhome Toilet RollsTo avoid unpleasant clogs in your caravan's plumbing system, you need toilet paper that dissolves quickly. It is best to purchase
camping toilet rolls made specifically for use in leisure vehicles.
LevellersYou can't count on your camping spot being level. Aside from the discomfort of sleeping on an uneven surface, not levelling your caravan or motorhome can damage your refrigerator. Fortunately, you can purchase
caravan and motorhome levellers to fix this issue. It is also advisable to purchase chocks to ensure your vehicle doesn't roll away while parked.
Wi-Fi AccessoriesPurchasing a leisure vehicle from the Motorhome and Caravan Show can be a great way to get away from the hustle and bustle of modern life, but sometimes it is still nice to be able to stream your favourite show or look up information about your destination.
Wi-Fi accessories, such as booster kits, routers and hotspots, can help you stay connected while on the go.
Cooking GearIf you don't want to rely on takeout or cold sandwiches for your entire holiday, stock up on cooking gear. There are a variety of options, including hobs, stoves,
cookers and grills.
Camping ChairsYou won't be spending all of your time in your caravan or motorhome.
Camping chairs are an essential item for making your outdoor space comfortable and functional.
LanternsCampsites are often dark at night, and you may not always be able to make a campfire.
Lanterns provide light for evening activities.
