  • Share on Facebook

If you’re hoping to make your next stay in your caravan more enjoyable, energy-efficient, and entertaining, you may want to invest in a few gadgets, gizmos, and well-chosen accessories. 

Whether you’re looking for ways to save time and more, or simply to relax better, some of these pieces of caravan tech could be worth more than a passing look. Check out our best caravan tech suggestions to enhance your holiday home experience and make it even more appealing to your guests if you choose to rent it out.

12V USB socket

Many of the items listed in this article or that improve the quality of life in a static caravan are USB-powered gear, including tablets, phones, and Bluetooth speakers. So, it stands to reason that you’ll want to stay worry-free without the fear of your favourite devices running out of power. You can do this by keeping your devices charged and connected with a 12V USB socket that accesses your caravan’s 12V system battery power.

Sockets are available in single or dual configurations and can be installed on both interior and exterior panels. Installing the sockets is easy and can be done with or without a mounting panel.

Coffee machine

Few scents are as great as the aroma of freshly brewed coffee in the morning. From stove-top pots to cafetières and percolators, the choices for coffee-making equipment are endless. For a more professional touch, consider purchasing a one-touch coffee machine from brands such as Breville or a Gaggia machine from the legendary Italian makers. 

By adding coffee-making equipment to your holiday home, you're not only treating yourself, but you're also providing a sociable activity for your guests, who will enjoy gathering around and watching you work your magic. Additionally, if you rent out your holiday home, it can be a sophisticated addition that enhances your offerings and potentially brings in extra income.

Wireless speakers

Caravan tech is more convenient than ever. Gone are the days when you had to bring a box of CDs to your holiday home or stack a selection of discs in your static caravan. Instead, consider investing in smart speakers, which allow you to play your favourite tunes with voice commands. You don't have to limit yourself to Alexa, as there are other brands such as Sonos, Bose, Roberts, and Apple that offer something similar.

You can also opt for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi speakers, which are wireless and practical, making them an excellent addition to your holiday home. If you choose to rent out your caravan, they're also beneficial for guests who want to tune in to sounds on their smartphones or other devices.

Gas barbecue

Gas barbecue

If you have an exterior gas outlet on your static caravan, you can easily set up a gas barbecue and enjoy outdoor cooking by the coast with instant heat — no need to wait for charcoal to catch light or disappointment when it inevitably goes out. 

There are many options when it comes to gas barbecues but our personal recommendation would be the Cadac Carri Chef 50 BBQ Dome Combo, a fantastic option that is popular among static caravan owners. It's lightweight, easy to clean, and can be easily stored. With this level of convenience, a gas barbecue is the perfect addition to your caravan, especially in the summer months, when grilling season hits its peak!

E-reader

For those seeking to escape the modern-day stresses and troubles on a caravan holiday, laptops, televisions, and other technological gadgets are often left behind. However, despite this, owning an Amazon Kindle or another e-reader could prove to be a worthwhile investment, and it's not difficult to see why they have become so popular. 

One of the primary benefits of a Kindle is its low-maintenance design. Unlike power-hungry smartphones, the device only requires charging once a month due to its use of electronic ink instead of a backlit screen. This also reduces eye strain and eliminates glare, making it ideal for your very own caravan.
