Caravan Camping

Compact travel with a motorhome

Camping with a caravan means:
Independence, spontaneity, freedom, traveling from place to place and the cozy vacation home is always with you.

Camping with a caravan does not mean sacrificing luxury. Vacations in a motorhome feel a bit like being in a bungalow, only with a constantly changing atmosphere in the midst of nature. Make sure you have the right navigation system and a reversing camera. Create even more comfort with your lighting and make sure that your caravan is always supplied with enough power.

Navigation systems - the most important thing on the dashboard

The destination is clear to you - you're off to the nearest campsite to relax in your caravan.
Why is the navigation device so important on your trip?
With a navigation device that allows you to switch between vehicle types (car / caravan / camper / motorhome), the navigation system automatically calculates the most suitable route based on the size, height and weight of your caravan. This saves you many nerve-wracking hours searching for alternative routes in advance.

Reversing camera - the second most important thing on the caravan

No parking space is too small or too difficult for you to park in, so why should you install a reversing camera in your camper?
Reversing with a caravan is more difficult than it looks. The two most commonly used systems for installing a reversing camera in a caravan are wired systems or wireless systems. The difference lies in the transmission method of the video signal. The advantage of radio systems is that there is no need to run a cable through the entire vehicle, but on the other hand, radio devices can be more susceptible to interference.

Camping becomes really cozy when it gets dark outside and there is a pleasant lighting atmosphere inside. LED interior lighting consumes significantly less energy and has a long service life. With LED light strips and TouchLights, you can place light sources in your caravan where you need them.

The great advantage of LEDs for camping is a side effect: they generate significantly less heat energy. It is now possible to place lights in the confines of the caravan between curtains or close under the roof without fear of fire damage.

LEDs are also stable, well-protected lamps and can withstand knocks and shocks without any problems.

Camping lamps and solar lamps provide the right atmosphere outside the caravan. A headlamp or flashlight should always be to hand when camping. Both for night-time walks to the washrooms and for checking under the caravan.

The luminous intensity and duration of the outdoor lantern depends on the energy source and the lamp body:
Electric camping lamps are usually powered by LEDs and have minimal power consumption, so that the burning time is over 100 hours, depending on the model.

Camping lamps with rechargeable batteries provide reliable brightness, but you should always carry spare batteries to be on the safe side. The batteries can either be replaced or the lamp can be charged by cable.

Solar lights are charged by the sun's rays via an integrated rechargeable battery. If the sunshine is strong, such a light can provide around 8 hours of light.

Gadgets for more safety

Peace, quiet, comfort, lots of nature - what could possibly happen here?
As a camper, you are often out and about on a hike or bike tour, during which time your caravan is parked in a somewhat remote location or in a very busy place. Secure your valuables with a few simple security gadgets, even when camping with a caravan. Also think about your health: camping often involves cooking with gas. Monitor the carbon monoxide content indoors. And how do you feel about cables being chewed by martens?

If you want to be completely autonomous on the road for weeks and want to use all the comforts such as TV, air conditioning, coffee machine, hairdryer, etc., there is no getting around an additional energy source. If you are free for a maximum of 2-3 nights at a time and are on the road a lot, you can get by with less technology.

Those who value an independent power supply when traveling with a motorhome usually add a solar system to the standard equipment. However, there are also a number of other solutions:
Solar energy

Additional on-board battery

Power generators

Fuel cells
Note, that it is important that the energy generated can also be stored. This is why expanding the independent power supply in your caravan usually starts with increasing the battery capacity or adding an additional body battery.

To turn your caravan into a fully-fledged home, it needs electricity. One or more batteries are often installed in the motorhome. These supply the vehicle electrical system with 12 volts direct current. The batteries are charged while driving using shore power, solar energy or an on-board generator.

If your trailer is connected to an external power source, this is referred to as shore power. At this point, not only is the battery charged, but all 230 volt and 12 volt sockets inside are also working.

If you want to operate your 230 V appliances without shore power, you need an inverter. This converts direct current into alternating current.

Camping equipment - for more comfort when camping

When camping with a caravan, you are always protected from the wind and weather and yet always in the great outdoors. If the motorhome is connected to the power supply, you also have 230 volts inside, just like at home. Which in turn means that you don't have to do without your favorite TV series. Camping with a caravan means you always have your own vacation home on wheels with you. With your caravan, you are very flexible and still don't have to do without your comfort.
