Towing Mirrors

As it is very unlikely that your car will be wider than your caravan, towing mirrors are vital for giving you the visibility you need when travelling.

Legally you mut have mirrors that enable you to see both 4 metres to the side of your caravan and 20 metres behind the driver, and towing mirrors will give you this extra vision.

With a variety of fixings available, check which type will best suit your existing wing mirrors to ensure they remain secure at all times.

Water Carrier and Water Pump

Water is not the easiest of things to transport around, and you will need fresh water in your caravan for washing, cleaning, and toilets (and to pop the kettle on)!

A carrier, like the Aquaroll we stock in our stores, can be filled at the fresh water stations dotted around our parks (simply check the site map for your nearest one) and rolled back to your tourer.

Ensure you also have a water pump (such as the Whale or Truma pumps found in our shops) and the correct size hose to attach the Aquaroll to your caravan’s fresh water inlet point for filling up.

Don’t forget you can opt for our Super Pitches when booking your pitch, and these all come with Fresh Water.

Pet Supplies

All of our parks are dog-friendly, and it is important to make sure that your pooch has all the essentials it needs for its holiday!

Ensure you have a lead so that your pet is safe and secure when out and about, plus portable water bowls for access to fresh water, and pet towels to dry them off after a soggy walk!

And don’t panic if you forget the doggy treats, we have plenty of pet items in our shops to keep your four-legged friend happy.

Waste Water Container

When using the shower or sink in your caravan, waste water needs to be collected in a carrier, like the Wastemaster available in our stores.

Make sure you have the correct pipe size to connect your carrier to the drain points.

First Aid Kit

You never know what your trip might throw at you, so it is always a good idea to be prepared with a first aid kit for those little emergencies.

This can include plasters, dressings/ bandages, antiseptic cream, paracetamol or ibuprofen and suncream. Feel free to amend this to suit your own individual needs, such as adding your own medicines.

Toilet Chemicals and Disposable Gloves

You can purchase toilet solutions such as Thetford Aqua Kem Blue and Aqua Rinse Concentrate Duo that break down your toilet waste and reduce odours in your toilet cassette.

A pair of disposable gloves can help make the task of cleaning out toilet waste more bearable!

Hitchlock and Cover

For extra peace of mind, a hitchlock can be fitted that prevents your hitch handle from being raised, making sure your caravan is secure and can’t be hitched to another vehicle. An added hitch cover will protect it from the elements.

Electric Hook-up Lead

All of our pitches come with electric hook-up, so an electric hook-up lead is a must to connect to the outlet. We would recommend at least a 25m cable, and to fully unwind the cable before connecting to avoid damaging the cable.

Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm

A smoke and carbon monoxide alarm is vital to keep you and your family safe, especially if you are using gas or cooking in and around your motorhome.

Make sure to check the batteries and test the alarm regularly.

Awning

A great option for increasing the living space on your pitch, awnings can be used as extra sleeping accommodation in our parks (as long as the main outfit is occupied and you do not exceed maximum occupancy).

Providing shelter from the British showers or shade in the summer, an awning is a fantastic accessory for your trip and an easy way to make your stay even more comfortable and relaxing.
