Gadgets. They’re everywhere. There’s no escaping them. Whether it’s your phone, tablet, laptop or smartwatch they play huge roles in our everyday life. They can make our lives easier. They can help us reach our goals. They can even provide us with something money can’t buy – peace of mind.
Now this is all well and good for our homelife, but what about when we hit the road on holiday? Well do not fear! There are plenty of gadgets out there to help your holiday run smoothly. We’ve scoured the internet and compiled our top 5 favourite must-have caravan gadgets for 2021. We’re certain that once you know about these handy devices you’ll never want to travel without them again!
Emove 303 Semi-Automatic Motor Mover
Let’s be honest, manoeuvring a caravan isn’t easy. We’re betting that over the years plenty of people have accidently squashed or bumped the rear of their caravan on a structure or two.
If parking your caravan once you arrive at a site fears you with dread, don’t worry you’re not alone. Wouldn’t it be so much easier if you could manoeuvre your caravan remotely using a handheld controller? This is precisely what the Emove 303 Semi-Automatic motor mover does.
The flagship Emove 303 Semi-Automatic Mover features easy-wind rollers for swiftest manual-engage movement tailored to terrain and conditions. With progressive technology for accurate and shockproof manoeuvring and a full diagnostic headset which alerts users to when they need to recharge the battery and replace the handset, the Emove 303 Semi-Automatic motor mover makes manoeuvring your caravan so much easier.
Additionally, the Emove 303 is built with solid aluminium drive rollers and direct drive gears, making these moving and toeing gadgets both easy to operate and durable. They are also suitable for both single and twin axle caravans.
Solwise Wi-Fi Booster
Now, some of us may yearn for a device detox when on holiday – and that’s all well and good – but what if you want to share holiday snaps on Instagram, or keep the kids quiet and entertained as you hit the highway? You need good Wi-Fi.
Topping our list of the best Wi-Fi motorhome gadgets is the Solwise Wi-Fi Booster. This compact device is perfect for making sure that you have a consistently strong Wi-Fi connection by scanning all available networks and storing preferred ones.
Featuring an auto installation function and diagnostic utilities, this Wi-Fi booster will turn your caravan into a mini hotspot. Sold with an N-type antennae and a 5m USB connection cable, connecting to the internet is simple, secure and seamless.
Kampa High Pressure Electric Pump
Imagine travelling for hours, arriving at your destination as the sun begins to set over a scenic landscape. All you want to do is settle in for the night and kick back in a chair with a mug of hot chocolate or a large glass of wine.
Ah but wait… there’s a problem. Hitching your caravan or motorhome awning can take ages. It’s often the last thing you feel like doing after hours of driving. So, instead, you’re forced to retreat indoors and scroll through the internet or flick on the TV. Is that what the great outdoors is all about? No definitely not.
Thankfully, this doesn’t need to be the case. Invest in a Kampa High Pressure Electric Pump and you can save oodles of time when setting your awning up. Ideal for use with Kampa Air tents and awnings, this means that you can get on with your holiday as soon as you arrive. Featuring an adjustable pressure level, digital pressure gauge, and automatic cut-out when the correct pressure is reached, this electric pump is a requisite for anyone with an awning.
BioLite CampStove 2
For camping veterans, it can seem like each year brings a whole new raft of innovations; products that you simply can’t go on a camping trip without. Some are worth your money. Others… well they leave very little to be desired.
The BioLite CampStove is firmly in the former category. This camp stove uses biomass fuel (wood, twigs, pine cone etc.) to generate electricity to charge smartphones, kettle pots even portable grills.
No conversation about what are the most innovative, best caravan gadgets would be complete without mentioning the BioLite Campstove 2! Its fully integrated system means that you can grill, boil, cook, and charge on the go – there’s even a USB FlexLight that you can plug in for added illumination.
Multi-purpose and versatile, this gadget is equipped with an internal fan which means that burning fuel is clean and smokeless. No longer will you have to haul liquid fuel or canisters to make a brew or cook your dinner.
Handpresso Portable Espresso Maker
For those coffee fiends amongst you, gone are the days where you have to suffer weeks of instant coffee when holidaying in a motorhome or caravan. The Handpresso Portable Espresso Maker comes in a range of models, each capable of delivering a delicious cup of coffee in every single cup.
Designed for environments with limited space, these non-electrical, battery-free caravan gadgets feature an eco-friendly hand pump which produces 16-bar pressure, enabling them to brew the perfect espresso. Ideal for use with ground coffee or ESE pods and being robust and lightweight, you can enjoy a rich, aromatic cup of coffee at the touch of a button.
