Sitting outside, enjoying eating al fresco, or just making the most of some pleasant weather are among the many reasons for enjoying caravanning and motorhoming life. You’ll get a helping hand if you have the right outdoor furniture to accompany you on your travels, too.

Here, we take a look at some products that can help you make the most of your outdoor living and touring. That includes different styles of chairs, tables and more.

Top caravanning and motorhoming tips

• Keep an eye on weights. Before you get carried away with grabbing a whole load (literally) of furniture, do take into account the effect this will have on your caravan or motorhome’s payload.
• Similarly, furniture and kit that pack away to compact dimensions are always going to be onto a winner.
• Just bear in mind, too, although the products below are indeed designed for outdoor life, they still need a bit of protection from the weather. Store them safely whenever possible.

Isabella Nanna

You’ll need to conduct your own research to find the kind of outdoor seating that best suits your needs, especially in terms of comfort and support.

The Nanna folding chair from Isabella has plenty of extra padding as well as three backrest positions. They come in one colour – Light Grey – and have a powder-coated aluminium frame to help keep the weight down. Fabric is a 6 x 300D polyester with PVC coating and 1.5cm thick foam padding. Backrest height is some 60cm and the seat height/width/depth measurements are 42cm/49cm/41cm. It’s a great compact chair if space if you’re short on space in your caravan, campervan or motorhome.

Key features Maximum load 120kg, weight 3.93kg, dimensions 92.5cm x 59.5cm x 49cm/folded 80cm x 59.5cm x 8.5cm

Expect to pay £59

Outwell Nomadnest

A particular attraction of the Nomadnest folding seats from Outwell is they fit exactly into the tailgate storage slot for stowing such items in a Volkswagen California campervan. That doesn’t mean you can’t have them to complement any other make or model of leisure vehicle, though. And, with apologies to Volkswagen, the Nomadnests are a lot more comfortable and stylish than the original VW seats.

That does explain their slightly smaller overall dimensions, however, open size is 54cm x 50cm x 87cm high, with a seat height of 39cm. And their small pack size, in particular, will attract anyone where storage space is at a premium – it’s just 54cm x 62cm x 10cm. Folding is instant, and there’s a locking function included.

There’s also a choice of colours – Navy Night blue or Misty Grey.

Key features 300 x 600D embossed polyester fabric, powder-coated aluminium frame with steel reinforcements, bamboo armrests, maximum load 120kg, weight 2.61kg

Expect to pay £60

Vango Redwood Duo 90 table

You’ll get tables of all sizes and types for use outside your leisure vehicle, but something like this offers a bit of extra versatility, thanks to its two height settings.

The Redwood Duo 90 from Vango will sit up to four people for dining when it’s at full height. Or you can detach the lower legs and have it at coffee table level (or for children’s use). The four legs also have an adjustment so you can get level on uneven ground.

Tabletop dimensions are 90cm x 60cm, and it comes in a granite-effect finish that’s easy to wipe clean. An aluminium frame keeps weight down and still offers strength.

It all packs up neatly, too, folding into itself and having a carry handle for easy transporting – packed dimensions are 61cm x 46cm x 7cm. There’s also a smaller variant, the Redwood Duo 60.

Key features Maximum load 30kg, weight 3.64kg, maximum height 70cm, dimensions

Star Player #7

Coleman Sling

You’ll go a long way to find a camping chair that can beat this for comfort and packability, lightness and strength. It’s also supremely easy to fold, and comes with a backrest that’s longer than many models. Coleman also says the design is such that it can reduce pressure on the back, whilst also supporting the neck.

In grey, it’s folded out dimensions are 58cm x 72cm x 94cm. It also comes with a polyester carrybag that includes a full-length strap so you can carry it on your shoulder.

OlPro Spike Stick Table

Very handy if you want just a small tabletop – for your drinks and/or snacks, perhaps – right beside your chair as you sit outside. Or something portable that you can take on a picnic day out.

Dimensions are 25cm x 25cm and it sits some 44cm from the ground. There are two leg sections, which clip to the underside of the tabletop for transporting – one of which has a spike to go into softer ground e.g. grass.

Expect to pay £10.45

Star Player #9

Coleman Ultimate Terrain Wagon

With a name like that, you’d expect something a bit special, but this new camping wagon from Coleman does come with features that set it apart from its rivals.

First, its “all-terrain” wheels are removable for cleaning and/or packing away to a relatively convenient 80cm x 38cm x 24cm. Once set up, the handle allows easy manoeuvrability.

It also has a high load capacity, along with D-rings and an elasticated hook system to keep contents secure.

A wagon like this is great for carrying things to your pitch – even the kids – as well as for carrying your outdoor furniture when taking trips to the beach, park, festival and more.

Key features Polyester fabric, steel frame, 180kg load limit/132-litre capacity, removable reinforced bottom section, weight 11kg, dimensions 116cm x 60cm x 58cm

Vango Radiate Heated Cushion

Use this on almost any camping chair, not just Vango’s, for an almost instant heat pad for your back. Add your own powerbank for the energy source, connecting up via the built-in USB plug. Based on a 5,000mAh powerbank, you could have up to six-and-a-half hours on the lowest heat setting (36.6degC). Vango says it’s best suited to powerbanks with a 5V/2.1amp output.

Key features Graphene heating element, four temperature settings, USB plug, pocket for powerbank, Velcro fastening, flexible, water-resistant

Insurance considerations for outdoor furniture

Most specialist caravan and motorhome insurance policies will provide cover for camping equipment like outdoor chairs and tables. When it comes to caravan insurance, we ask customers to set an insured value for all their caravanning equipment which would include outdoor furniture. Then cover will apply in the event of damage or theft. Our motorhome policyholders get £5000 of equipment and personal possessions cover automatically included so camping chairs, tables and similar accessories would be covered under that section of our policy.
