The HUBi gadget is a remarkable device, boasting the ability to recharge your phone up to 24 times, a camera 10 times, a tablet 5 times, or a laptop twice. This makes it an ideal companion for those using tents, awnings, or caravans where power outlets are scarce, offering free and safe power for lights, phones, satnavs, and other gadgets.
This year’s top caravan gadget is the Remoska Tria, a testament to the increasing need for USB charging options in caravans. Interestingly, it seems that only one caravan supplier has started to include a USB charging socket. In our past caravan tours, we often resorted to using basic tools like a rolling pin and a potato masher for washing! Another useful tool is the Protimeter Aquant, a non-invasive moisture meter, essential for assessing the moisture levels in various building materials.
The debate over whether to remove electronics like TVs, DVD players, and CD players from caravans during the winter is ongoing. Some argue for their removal, while others find it safe to leave them in. Caravan maintenance and customization are also popular topics, with owners finding creative solutions like fabricating chequer plate aluminum to cover steps or modifying awnings for better usability.
Caravan owners often have to carefully balance the weight of their caravan, sometimes having to remove items to achieve the desired weight. Additionally, products like Colour Fast, which helps maintain the paint and clear coat of cars, are also useful for caravans. However, caution is advised when attaching accessories to areas with decals, as they may not hold up well.
Caravan cooking has been revolutionized with one-touch smart programs, which include a variety of cooking options like Soup/Broth, Meat/Stew, and Bean/Chili. When choosing kitchen gadgets, space considerations are important, particularly with items like ovens with hinged lids. Caravan charms have also become a popular accessory, adding a personal touch to these mobile homes.
When it comes to cleaning and storage solutions, caravaners have devised various methods, including using potato mashers for washing clothes in a bucket of hot water and detergent. A range of caravan equipment, accessories, and furniture is available to suit different budgets and preferences. With the rising popularity of caravanning in the UK, gifting a caravan-related item can be a thoughtful gesture for enthusiasts.
