Already planning where your caravan adventures will take you for the rest of this year and for 2026?
Then here are some of the latest handy, clever, and sometimes quirky gadgets worth considering for your caravanning trips. Note that these can be bought online or in-store from various retailers :
Jack pads
- we can’t promise that your next caravan pitch is going to be a muddy field under several days of relentless rain – but you’re as familiar with the British weather as we are;
- to stop the legs or corner steadies of your caravan from sinking into the soft ground, why not try caravan jack pads – your caravan will stay all the steadier for them;
Warm as toast
- there’s rarely much room in the caravan’s galley, so you’ll be limited in the range of appliances you can run;
- low-wattage appliances designed for caravans are a lifesaver, like compact toasters and kettles that won’t overload your electrics. In 2025, energy-efficient models are even more compact and eco-friendly, with some designed to reduce water and power use;
- the Swiss Luxx Low Wattage Caravan Toaster is specially designed for use in a caravan since it is diminutive in size – and consumes only 750 watts of electricity;
- a matching one-litre, low-wattage electric kettle is also available;
Your secret stash
- looking for a discreet hiding place for small valuables? Diversion safes disguised as everyday items – from soft drink cans to soup tins – remain a popular choice;
- they’re simple, low-cost, and add an extra layer of peace of mind when leaving the caravan unattended;

Cool in summer
- with UK summers now hotter than ever, keeping food and drinks chilled is a must;
- high-capacity cool boxes keep ice frozen for days, making them ideal for both caravan use and picnics. Newer models now feature improved insulation and some even offer USB charging ports or built-in bottle openers;
Fire safety
- fire precautions remain essential. Collapsible, UV-resistant fire buckets are lightweight, easy to store, and can double as water carriers or even food storage when not in use;
- some designs even integrate reflective strips for extra visibility at night;
- for peace of mind, read our advice on Fire safety tips in your ‘van;
Round or square?
- that round washing-up bowl can be handy to use but tricky to store when you need to load your caravan with everything – including the kitchen sink;
- a handy way around that problem, therefore, is to invest in a collapsible square washing-up bowl;
You can never have enough of them
- you can probably never have enough airtight food and drink containers, so a collapsible, silicone kitchen bundle is a welcome addition to storage solutions in the galley;
- the bundle of collapsible silicone bowls and boxes let you heat, bake, freeze, mix, store and pour.
If it’s only to show off your latest collection of caravan gadgets and accessories, you’ll be raring to get set for your next caravan outing soon into the New Year.
