Ready to get your caravan back on the road? With just a few weeks left until the Easter break, now is the perfect time to conduct those all-important checks and make a list of any caravan spares that you need.
The parts that you need will differ from vehicle to vehicle but there are a few key spares that you should always have in your garage or onboard, so let’s take a look at the top spare parts for caravans you’ll need to carry out any pre-holiday repairs or accompany you on your adventures.
To get your caravan back on the road
First things first, let’s look at the essentials. These are the spares that you’ll need to get your caravan ready for your first adventure of the year, and without them you’re not going anywhere!
Towing spares
To make sure you comply with UK (or international) laws when towing a caravan, you’ll need to check the following and replace them if necessary:
- Towing mirrors
- Number plates
- Breakaway cable
- Caravan stabilisers
- Jockey wheel
- Wheel clamps and hitch locks
Window accessories
Alongside our range of windows for caravans, motorhomes, and campervans, we also supply the spares you need to keep your windows and doors secure, including:
- Window catches and stays
- Window locks and locking handles
- Door locks
- Door retainers
Water and waste equipment
If there are any issues with your water and waste setup, it is better to deal with it whilst the caravan is still on the driveway rather than finding out once you arrive at your destination! So, take a look in our spares range for all of the following essentials:
- Pumps
- Connectors
- Filters
- Pressure valves
- Heating elements
To stock up on spares for spring
Sometimes fixtures unexpectedly break and there’s not a lot you can do except plan for this eventuality and stock up on the relevant spares. Even if you don’t find any elements that need fixing when inspecting your vehicle, there’s a few key spares that should always accompany you on your travels, so stock up on these before you hit the road.
Electrical components
You rely almost exclusively on electrical components when caravanning, so make sure you check all your lights, sockets and fixtures before you head off and take the following spares with you on the road:
- Battery chargers
- Lights and bulbs
- Fuses
- On/off switches
- Cables and leads
Kitchen essentials
Finally, make sure you can safely enjoy all the tastes and comforts of home with the following:
