With so many fantastic new products appearing regularly, we’ve had a scout around for those latest caravan and motorhome gadgets currently getting rave reviews.

Towing and Moving Gadgets

We’ve already touched on these in a recent post on the site, however, caravan motor movers, though slightly expensive initial layouts, still get our vote as some of the best caravan gadgets this year.

Designed to enable you to move your caravan into place without the use of a car, these fantastic devices make pitching up and hitching up hassle-free!

Better still, there are plentiful professional caravan services who are trained to fit these devices correctly and at a reasonable price. Therefore, you don’t even have to worry about the installation process yourself.

If the idea of purchasing one of these has roused your attention, our must-have caravan gadgets top four picks here include the HappyBuy Motorized Jockey Wheel Mover, the EMOVE Manual Motor Mover, the Enduro Caravan Manoeuvring Aid, and the Royal Apollo Caravan Mover.
If you’re looking to speed up the somewhat tedious process of putting the caravan legs down each time, this corner steady drill bit is for you.

Making light work of this task, this effectively both raises and lowers the corner steadies of your caravan, all through this simple extension piece.

Suitable for most caravan steadies and most power drill chucks, this adaptor works by fitting over your 19mm corner steady bolt.

TV and Internet Caravan Accessories

There’s no getting away from the internet and, when you’re caravanning or in your campervan. From being able to watch your favourite programmes and films online, streaming music, or even planning your day ahead, more of us are looking for ways to boost our signal each time we pitch up to a new site. One instant way of improving your signal is using a wi-fi booster.

1. Solwise Outdoor USB Antenna WL-Patriot-USB

The Solwise Wi-Fi booster is top of our list this year as this is a small and compact but thoroughly powerful device which is perfect for taking with you in the caravan.

Equally as easy to set up and get instant results from, this allows you to get Wi-Fi to your caravan by scanning all available networks and subsequently storing and saving your preferred ones.

Perfect for those sites which offer Wi-Fi – but then you find yourself pitched at the opposite end of the site and struggling to get a signal!

A high-powered model with an N-type antenna connector, this also comes supplied with a 5m USB connection cable.

Featuring auto-installation and diagnostic utilities, this is perfect for allowing you to create your very own mini hotspot in your caravan. This makes connecting to smartphones, laptops, iPads, notebooks and even consoles hassle-free and swift.

Taking away the annoyance of rubbish TV signals on caravan sites, the Fringe Tuner gets our thumbs up for an easy to use but thoroughly successful TV and Radio Signal Booster.

We’ve all likely experienced the pain of settling down with a cup of tea and bite to eat, having spent the last hour or so getting sorted, only to find a rubbish signal on our caravan’s TV!

Providing two outlets and a variable boost, not only is this a direct fit replacement for any pre-installed aerial booster type, but the fitting kit is also included with your purchase.

Operating on a 12 to 24V DC, this couldn’t be any easier to fit and use and is compact enough to store away neatly in the caravan.

This wind-up and solar-powered radio is perfect for off-grid. A small and compact design, it offers crisp and clear sound quality and brilliant reception.

With a myriad of nifty features, it is designed to allow you to locate your preferred station and extends and re-positions the aerial until you get that most perfect of sounds.

Its hybrid offering is perhaps its best part as this allows you to charge it three ways, making it perfect for the caravan. Here you can wind it up to load, use its solar features, or directly plug it into a USB adaptor or port.

We like this model more so for storing away in the caravan to refer to, should you have a power cut or find yourself without hook ups and relying on solar panels.

An extremely portable device, this radio will provide you up to seven hours of total playback time when its battery is fully charged.

Awning Gadgets

I like a growing number of people you like to make full use of your caravanning pitch on the campsite, you’ll most likely be extending your living space by use of an awning. Designed to offer additional space alongside the ultimate in comfort, you’ll find these three perfect for using with any awning type.

The first is claimed to be the world’s best wasp deterrent, and if you have any experience of life in the UK outdoors, you’ll no doubt find this the perfect product for your awning!

A hugely smart design, this resembles a real wasp’s nest but is in fact merely a decoy which wasps will avoid. The idea is that they will not want to fight for the resources in this area and therefore just move on elsewhere.

A natural product, all you have to do is fill it up and pad it out, using plastic bags or some other filler, and hang it in your awning. Be sure you put on some repellent though just in case.

Air awning pumps are considered to be worth every penny. They instantly remove the need to pump your inflatable awning up by hand as well as getting the job done ten times faster!

This is a small and compact but hugely beneficial to have on board. This aids you when setting up when you arrive at your pitch and frees up your time, so you can get on with enjoying your holiday.

Featuring an adjustable pressure level, this will switch off the pump when the desired level is reached. Just connect, set up, power up and watch it do its thing! This will also work on inflatable tents for your camping trips.

If you want to save your back, this basic but ingenious device will stop all of that crouching down while allowing you to pull your awning instead.

Wonderfully priced, you can use and then store away with ease, but one that offers to make your life that little bit easier each time you pitch up!

Perhaps one of those many of us pays little attention to, if it’s just one you buy this year, the camper air conditioning system would be our recommendation.

One of the joys of owning a caravan for most people is being able to relax and chill out as often as possible. For many of us, this means being able to read in bed!

Kitchen Gadgets

For those coffee lovers amongst us, this is the perfect addition to the caravan, making up to an incredible six cups of coffee each time!

Espressos make the best tasting coffee as they rely on a filter process, therefore, producing a rich tasting coffee every time.

This aluminium pot is not only great at offering fantastic tasting results each time but would look chic in any caravan, making a great focal point.

Diffusing the heat perfectly to enhance the aromas of your coffee, this is suitable for use on all cooking surface stovetops – except those inductions.

Egg on toast is the quintessential breakfast choice for many a caravanner – and a meal that firmly indicates you’re on a caravanning holiday!
