Your caravan is your own bit of travelling space. It can move around from campsite to campsite over the course of its lifetime, but the interior space will always be just as you left it. This is one of the reasons why caravanning holidays are so popular, that and the fact they are cheap as chips. However, if you really want to feel at home away from home there are few mod cons and creature comforts you should install in your caravan. Here are a few tips on how to kit out your caravan.
Choose the right caravan for you and you’re halfway there
Once you’ve purchased your caravan, which you can do via Park-Resorts using its used caravan sales link, you can then spend some time thinking about how you’d like it to be kitted out. Just as with your home you can choose the colour scheme, the layout and the type of kitchen and bathroom units you want. You can now choose from three models of caravan from Park Resorts and you don’t need to worry about being tied down, as you can even move you caravan to another Park Resorts park for free. Once the layout, colour scheme and kitchen design are sorted, the fun really begins.
Get comfy and have fun
You caravan should feel like a home away from home, so start with some family photos, ornaments and decorations that remind you of home. Next add the soft touches, such as curtains, rugs, cushions and throws. No doubt you’ll want to install an entertainment system too. Take some of your favourite DVDs and some DVD games or games consoles for when the weather is miserable. These will help you feel as if you’re right back in your living room at home.
Stock up
No one really wants to cook when they’re on holiday and just because the place is your own doesn’t mean you want to spend time slaving over a hot stove. So make sure you’re stocked up on ingredients that allow you to rustle up a feast in under 30 minutes. Also keep some treats and snacks tucked away too, so you can relax and avoid the supermarket.
Sleep tight
Although this may be your home away from home, you might find you don’t sleep as well as you do in your own bed. You have more chance of getting decent shuteye if you have the same sheets, duvets and pillows as you do at home. Don’t scrimp with the polyester stuff if at home you use duck down. Use like for like to really get the best night’s sleep.
