Little mishaps can strike at the most inconvenient moments when you’re away in your caravan or motorhome – a loose fitting, a snapped clip, a puncture, or even a dead battery or two!
And while your Caravan Guard insurance gives you peace of mind with cover for accidental and storm damage plus UK roadside assistance and breakdown recovery for your motorhome, it’s still a good idea to have a few essentials on board to help you after minor bumps and scrapes, or breakdown until the professionals take over.
To help you stay prepared when caravanning or motorhoming, we’ve pulled together a brilliant “Caravan and motorhome essentials kit”, packed with practical gear and featured in our latest guide to coping with small touring emergencies. And the best part? You can win these essentials for your leisure vehicle.
What’s in the kit?
One lucky winner will receive more than £200 of must-have emergency items, including:
- Whitby Multi-purpose knife
- Head torch
- Heavy-duty towing strap
- Duck tape
- Cable ties
- Venom battery organiser storage case (with charge tester)
- Thetford seal lubricant
- UV light glue
- Flat tyre repair kit
- Maypole amber warning beacon
These handy tools can help you tackle temporary repairs, fix minor problems, and stay safe while waiting for help if something goes wrong on your travels.
Why you need these essentials in your caravan or motorhome
From leaky seals to punctures, rattles, broken clips and blown bulbs, small problems can quickly escalate, especially when you’re miles from home. That’s why we’ve put together a helpful guide of essential emergency gear for caravanners and motorhomers, sharing tips on what to include in your own kit list, what to check, and how to stay prepared for those little emergencies when on your touring trips.
Read the full guide here, for gear recommendations and safety tips to complement your caravan or motorhome insurance cover.
