Touring caravans are all about enjoying time away, but everyone has their own way of doing it. Some caravanners like the reassurance of an electric hook-up on site, while others enjoy the flexibility of touring off grid, without plugging in.

We’d love to know what works best for you. Vote in our new community poll and tell us whether you usually go caravanning with electric hook-up or off-grid. Your answer will help shape future tips, guides and practical advice for touring caravan owners here on the Caravan Guard blog.
Why many caravanners choose electric hook-up
Electric hook-up remains the go-to option for lots of touring caravan owners. Being plugged in offers reliable power for heating, lighting and appliances, less reliance on gas and leisure batteries and easier use of everyday items like kettles, microwaves and the fridge. Hook-up can be particularly useful during colder months too, or on longer stays where comfort and convenience are a priority.

Why some caravanners enjoy off-grid touring
Off-grid caravanning is becoming more popular particularly for caravanners who prefer more flexibility over where they stay, or who want a quieter, simpler touring experience and less dependence on busy campsites. An off grid pitch without electric hookup is often cheaper too. With the right setup and a bit of planning, off-grid caravanning can still be comfortable and enjoyable.
