Best Caravan Accessories : 2021
Choosing which accessories to buy for your caravan can be confusing. In this vlog we show you accessories we would recommend from experience.
When we bought our first caravan we spent a lot of money on new accessories and we did actually use them all. Some proved to be better than others and in this vlog we visit Golden Castle Caravans accessory shop. Karina will show you several products that are worth considering and some that are worth avoiding.
Products include;
Proshot and 40shot

Thank you to Golden Castle for allowing us to film in their accessory shop, which was closed to the public. They are a Swift and Coachman dealership and have a large indoor showroom with caravans and awnings on display.

I believe on of the main reasons for melamine crockery besides the less likelihood of breakages is the weight saving. Max pay load is often overlooked and things like this can help with keeping weight down.

Talking of kettles the first piece of advice we got on site was, you have to buy the gas, the electricity comes with the pitch. We have always used the electric kettle since. Really very good and informative video. Can anyone commentate for so long and stay on topic with hardly an um or an ah. Well done and thank you.

Excellent video again. I started in 1984 and pretty much thought you had to go down the "melamine lightweight" route because we had three kids with us. Been just two of us now for a long time and we just use the same sorta stuff as we do at home. I think Cadac or any kind of outdoor cooking is great and an all serviced pitch just makes everything so much easier ;))

I agree on the smell of both is very chemical. Bobbly Dazzler is an after wash protection. Fenwich do caravan wash and both products are excellent. For polishing i use Autoglym super resin polish on the aluminium panels and 3m light cutting polish on grp/gelcoat panels. Dont use any firm of t cut caravan paint is far too thin.

Great vlog, going by the sticker prices you can see why folks buy online, but I could spend all day in there. Milenco noseweight guage is the one to buy. I think your piece on mirrors could be misleading to some as not many cars wide enough to see clearly down and out to the side as you have to by Law. Good tip for toilet cassette fluid and only use Purieclean for sterilisation 👍👍

I've learned something today. I didn't know melamine wasn't microwave-safe, Thank You! Caravans & motorhomes in Australia have a mains water hose connection point. As well as an onboard water tank. Normal practice is to hook up to the tap. Everything then works on mains pressure as in a house. You can turn the tap off when you leave the van unattended. Being an absolute cheapskate I'm from Yorkshire but my local accent is Lancashire. Work that out! I use timber offcuts from garden bed edging to spread the weight under the steadies. Our local Bunnings (B&Q equivalent) has a pallet of free offcuts. I forgot to put a spirit level in the van on one trip & used a bowl 1/2 filled with water it worked a treat.

@HereWeTow 3 жыл бұрын

😂 Brilliant cost saving measures! You never lose the true Yorkshireman in you. Some caravans here have a direct feed too and a water tank but not many. The serviced pitch kit will connect directly to the water pump if you’re not using the aquaroll. In the past two years serviced pitches have become much more popular here. Have a nice weekend and I hope lockdown is going okay 😊 Karina

I have been caravaning for 35 years I use homemade wooden ramps and chocks. A good sack trolly and 25 litre canister cheaper for waste water. I have a 100 litre plastic tank for my fresh water with a ballcock fitted so I can fill it with my aquaroll or if I am on a pitch near enough to run a pipe to saves running out when having a shower. A tracker is a must in case locks get cut off by thieves. A good way of checking the nose wieght if you can lift the cupling easy it is too light but if you struggle a bit then it is somewhere near the right nose wieght but always use the gauge as well once you think loaded right. Love my wistling gas kettle. And a big yes to a spare break away cabble.

Hi there just a quick question about safety and checking the caravan before you set off, do check your motorhome or car wheel nut/stud torque before every journey?

@HereWeTow 3 жыл бұрын

No Bob, the checking of the caravan is recommended by insurance companies, the clubs and several publications as well as the manufacturers. Many insurance claims come from caravan wheels becoming detached as I presume there is more vibration through a caravan chassis than a car or motorhome. The advice with a car or motorhome is not to check before every journey as wheel detachment is very rare. I dont know the full technicalities but that would be my understanding of it. Im happy to follow the recommendation of Alko and the NCC and check the caravan every time just to be safe. Have a great weekend 😊 Karina

Excellent video, but you didn't explain that the two dimensional caravan levelling spirit level only comes with 12 months warranty from purchase !! Lol. Seriously, as an old truck driver I would introduce everyone to a very important Law which I can still remember my old ex RAF driving instructor explaining to me. It's a Law called Murphy's Law, basically it means that if it can happen,It Will Happen. For years I've carried around spares and tools and aids for emergencies and never had any problems. Then one day I left the bin with it all in at home and ended up having to pay somebody to fix a fault and ended up getting an £86.00 bill for less than a fivers worth of actual parts. The part was half a dozen O seals, the constant vibration from the road had worn the water pipe couplings to the extent that they leaked. And it always happens on a rainy day so don't forget the ☔

@HereWeTow 3 жыл бұрын

Thats true Paul and that is why my main recommendation is the Alko lock. Still removable yes, but on a high value caravan many insurance companies will only accept the diamond rated Alko. If they want it they will take it but as long as you have done your best and fulfilled the insurance requirements. The JSB hublock is the best product you can fit, but I don’t think many caravanners will be taking off their wheels every time. This are good on a seasonal pitch though.

I notice you didn’t mention the Kojak kit on the shelf. I bought one and found it was really average quality, the coating was chipping off immediately you got it out of the box. Overpriced and a bit shoddy

I think the best caravan accessory judging by what I have seen on youtube is a large tub of water proofing joint mastic

Sorry to hear you had problems..it is very disappointing when you consider how much we spend on these things and just want to enjoy them. Have a great weekend 😊 Karina

Milenco advert?

Funnily enough Milenco are a company I have never had any connection with at all, we bought their products when we bought our caravan and they are very very good.

😂 No I create KZfaq videos I don’t sell caravans or accessories. The dealership allowed me to film which many don’t, I get no financial benefit from creating a vlog like this. 😊 Karina

How can the caravan roll backwards from the ramp when the best way is to reverse it up, so your handbrake will keep it from rolling down.? And is this payed for by Milenco? ;)

@HereWeTow 2 жыл бұрын

No it isn’t paid for by Milenco, I am recommending the products we bought with our caravan and have well tested. If a vlog is sponsored then that has to be declared by any vlogger. If you want to reverse up you can..people use the method that works best for them. A chock is a good way to be safe if that is what you are referring to. Thank you for watching 😊 Karina
