Cheap caravan batteries and awnings are essential pieces of caravanning kit

If you are planning on going on a caravan or motor home holiday there are a few pieces of kit which can make your trip one to remember. Firstly your caravan battery, or motorhome batteries are both extremely important as if you fail to test them you may find that you arrive at your destination and have no power.

If you do find that you need to replace your sealed leisure battery, you can find a wide range of affordable batteries including cheap caravan batteries, boat batterys and 12 volt leisure batterys at Advanced Battery Supplies.

Secondly, awnings are also an extremely important part of your caravan or motorhome holiday too. This is because bigger awnings can be used to almost double the amount of living space you have. Alternatively they can be used to store luggage and are also extremely useful when the weather it wet as they can be used to store damp and muddy outdoor clothes and shoes.

There are a variety of awnings that you are able to choose from including a full sized awning, porch awning, sun canopy, drive-away or freestanding awning. Many of the larger awnings also come with clear panels which can be used as windows, as well as doors. You can hang mosquito netting or curtains over either of these to provide you with additional privacy.

Here are just some of the most popular styles of awnings that you can choose from:

Full sized awnings run the entire length of the caravan and are ideal for longer length holidays as they give you a generous amount of extra living space without having to hire an extra caravan.

Freestanding awnings, unlike the full sized awnings have four walls and are able to stand up without being attached to a motorhome or a caravan. Because they have four walls they make an ideal extra bedroom. Some makes have been designed for your convenience, so that you do not have to take the awning down and pack it away if you leave the caravan for an extended period of time.

Porch awnings are slightly smaller and lighter than the two awnings that are mentioned above. These are ideal for short trips away as they are quicker and easier to mount and dismount. These give you some extra space when you need to leave wet outdoor clothing and shoes outside, or to store your luggage- freeing up extra space inside your caravan or motorhome.

Sun canopies are a good choice if you do not need the extra space that a full sized awning provides, but you want a little extra cover from the weather. Some canopies have side panels which provide additional protection from the wind and rain, as well as giving you some extra privacy. Or, some designs can be used in conjunction with a full sized awning too.
