Find The Right Ride
Travelling in a caravan sounds exciting, but it can also get hectic if you've not got a suitable vehicle. Choosing your ride is perhaps the most critical decision to make while planning a caravan trip, as it will be your home for as long as your travel lasts.
Luckily, Caravan Tourism's increasing popularity has given birth to many agencies that specialise in helping you plan such a sojourn. They also go beyond just providing the vehicle, and offer extra services, like a guide or a driver. However, considering factors like built-in amenities and utilities, size, budget, and tow capacity is essential when choosing your van
Plan Your Pitstops
An essential part of any long-haul road trip is to plan where you can catch a break. Being behind the wheel every minute is nearly impossible and not recommended. It is crucial to get ample rest, so plan your pit stops early on while choosing the route. Many of these routes also have caravan parks and camping sites where you can catch up on some much-needed sleep. The best way to find out about these would be to ask the travelling agency you're renting your Caravan from, as they can also make arrangements in advance.
Carry Your Necessities
Caravan trips are adventurous, and a part of that is because it forces you to make the most of very little. But it's always a good idea to stay prepared and stocked up with necessities, as it can come in handy when you least expect it. Here is a list of things you must not forget to put in your bag before you take on
First-aid Kit
Sleeping bags, foldable chairs, utensils, tent
Non-perishable and ready-to-eat food like cup noodles, chips, biscuits, etc.
Extra batteries, torch, and adapters
A map (in case there's low or no connectivity and GPS doesn't work)
