A static caravan is the perfect retreat for weekend getaways and summer holidays. Although fully furnished with all the essential home comforts you need on holiday, a caravan still needs to be equipped with those extras that will make everyone comfortable. For people who travel regularly to their own caravan, these items can be brought from home each time, but if you rent your caravan out, what accessories would your guests appreciate?
Caravan tableware
Mealtimes on holiday should be fun and serving your food on beautiful tableware will add to the experience. Today’s melamine tableware sets are perfect for touring caravanners and campers alike thanks to their lightweight and durable characteristics. However, for static caravanners who enjoy eating al fresco there are designs and colours to suit every taste, from the classic Kampa Blanco Melamine Set with matching mug set, to the contemporary Kampa Sunset Yellow Melamine Set (with matching mugs), also available in Ember Red and Fog Grey. Our complete guide to melamine crockery is a great read for anyone unfamiliar with it, and will tell you how to care for it too!
Caravan cutlery and glassware
Essentials in every kitchen, caravan cutlery and glassware don’t have to be boring! Our cutlery sets are compact and lightweight and include everything you need for a family of four, while our range of polycarbonate glassware offers all the stylish looks of glass but none of the risks. Safe for the dishwasher and impact resistant, the range includes assorted wine glasses, tumblers and more (don’t forget the bottle opener and/or corkscrew too!). To keep those knives and forks tidy, a cutlery tray is handy to have too.
Cooking in the kitchen
To enjoy a comfortable stay in your caravan, and to offer the same to paying guests, you need to ensure the kitchen is sufficiently equipped for preparing all meals and drinks (not everyone will eat out each evening). This includes not just cook sets, saucepans, and frying pans but also utensils such as knives, a tin opener, spatulas and wooden spoons, bowls, jugs and tea towels. And if you include some luxury items like a slow cooker so that you can come back after a long day sightseeing or at the beach and have a hearty meal waiting, or even a deep fat fryer, your guests will remember how they were able to enjoy all their favourites even on holiday.
Tea and toast anyone?
If you or your guests arrive after a long journey, you’re going to want a hot drink so a selection of small appliances including a kettle, is essential. And if you’re partial to a slice or two of toast to start your day, then a toaster is a must-have too, or even a sandwich toaster for a midday snack. Providing basics like tea, coffee, sugar and condiments such as salt, pepper, vinegar and ketchup is also useful.
Washing up in the caravan
A small amount of clutter can soon make a caravan kitchen look messy so provide the means to clear away and wash up after meals. A washing up bowl is handy – along with cloths and washing up liquid – as is a drainer.
