Top Tips To A Successful Caravan Holiday
Once you know how good a caravan holiday can be, you’ll want to make it a regular part of your life. However, in order to have a great caravan experience, you’ll need to know the basics that’ll allow you to enjoy things to the fullest. If you’re a newcomer to caravanning, then you might look at other caravaners and think that it’s all smooth sailing, but it’s not. It’s only smooth sailing if you know how to make it so! In this blog, we’ll take a look at some of the essentials that’ll push you in the right direction. Believe me, we have been there and done that!
Realistic Ambitions
The sky is the limit when it comes to holiday experiences in your caravan. Indeed, you can tour all over the world! However, while you have all the possibilities open to you, it’s best to begin with more modest travel plans. You’ll find that if you’re too ambitious before you fully understand what you’re doing, then you might run into some problems that compromise your enjoyment. Start small with just a few simple trips, and then start thinking about going on those longer excursions. We spent seven weeks touring Europe in 2019, which was a fantastic experience but very demanding.
Reliable Tow Car
One of the best things about taking a caravan holiday is that you’re able to explore parts of the world that you otherwise wouldn’t be able to. Even in the UK, you can sleep in magnificent areas, far away from civilisation, and in total comfort too. However, because these areas are more remote, you’ll need to ensure that you have a reliable vehicle. Your current car might function well in the city, but that doesn’t mean it’ll work well when it’s in a more rural area. Don’t forget towing puts added strain on your car, this includes on your brakes and engine. If you think it’s time for a car upgrade, then pay a trip to a Nissan Dealership, and get a new set of wheels. You’ll find that you enjoy your trip a lot more if you have peace of mind that your car won’t let you down.
Solid Family Teamwork
Problems can be averted by getting into a solid flow of teamwork with your travelling companion. There are plenty of small and big tasks to be taken care of when you’re on the road. Sometimes just finding out in which direction you should be travelling can be problematic. If you make a good team, then you’ll find that all these things become much more straightforward. Sometimes it’s not about trying to make the perfect team, more about learning to coexist when the going gets tough, as it will from time to time. Working on this aspect will save many a trip in the future! You can share out the caravan jobs between you, pink and blue jobs as they are often called. Setting up the caravan after towing should be part of the enjoyment and not something we dread.
Doing Your Own Thing
Finally, this isn’t exactly the key to a successful caravan holiday, but it is helpful: when you’re beginning, don’t listen too much to the opinions of “Karen” on Facebook. Instead, seek valuable advice from experienced caravanners via YouTube. If you get stuck speak to the site Wardens, most are happy to help if you explain you are inexperienced. A successful caravan trip is all about doing it your way at your own pace.
The most important top tip is to enjoy yourselves..you’re on holiday!
