Adding an incredible amount of space, camper, caravan and motorhome awnings are the quick and easy way to change the comfortability of your camping.
Secondhand, they offer great value and can usually be picked up in ‘as new’ condition. They are surprisingly adaptable and I’ve seen many makes fit other manufacturer’s vehicles, although you should check this first.
Top CamperAuctions Tip:
Don’t forget to check all awning zips and make sure to ask for the relevant tent pegs and guy ropes as these all add to the overall cost if not included
Well we all have to have somewhere to sit. However, I’ve found that over the years I have done countless projects which required ripping out and modifying seating. Often the best place to start is with a decent quality secondhand unit. Prices are particularly good secondhand, but bear in mind that most units will be collection only so factor this in when buying.
With the extra load put on your system by running additional 12 volt equipment, a good quality leisure battery is a must. Fridges, additional lights, even radios all add to that power drain. Opting for a battery which has as many ‘Amp hours’ (AH) as possible within your budget is a sensible choice. Our suggestion is not to drop below 95AH which will give you longer life between charges. Don’t forget to buy any clamps you may require (quick release are always useful). Popular brands include Lucas, Exel, Hi-power, Varta, Elecsol, Platinum, Halfords, Tayna, Numax and Trojan.
