We have been traveling full time in a caravan for 2 years.
In that time we have developed a list of our Favourite Gadgets.
Keep reading to find out our favourite 5.
Number 5. Suction Hippo Tissue Box holder
I like to have tissues on a countertop so they are easy to access. In our caravan we have limited bench space. This Hungry Hippo gadget has been the answer! Suction caps secure the expandable holder to our bathroom splash back, or the glass shower door. After 6 months, our suction caps were failing, so we have used double sided tape to secure him into the future!
We found this fantastic gadget in the most unusual place. Stanthorpe Law Dogs, gift shop. It was only a few dollars!
Number 4. Ice Balls.
KMart brand Home & Co. Ice Sphere makers. 4 pack, $2.
Number 3. IPAD 3-in-1 card reader.
To transfer images from SLR camera or the Drone directly to the IPAD.
The Ryobi Misting fan has been fantastic! It is part of the range of Ryobi One Plus rechargeable range. When sitting outside the mist is a refreshing relief from the heat. We collect water for the bucket from a creek or river so there is no water wastage from your caravan tanks. The Ryobi fan makes free camping in high temperatures more comfortable. This misting fan has definitely earned its place amongst our camping equipment.
The Ryobi Misting fan is part of the Ryobi rechargeable range. The fan is only available from Bunnings.
Number 1. OzTrail Comet Extension Light.
Our most favourite gadget is the OzTrail Comet light!
The light is on a collapsible extension pole, comes with a spike to hold in the ground. It is connected to a power cord with a USB adaptor. We power the light with our Ryobi USB charger. This light is mainly used when we are a distance from the caravan, usually around the fire. It is very handy while cooking on the fire. We have also used the Comet when eating outside in group situations. It attracts attention when we set it up, and once other campers see how handy it is, it goes on everyone’s wish list!
The OzTrail Comet light is $99.99. It is not usually a product stocked by OzTrail stockists, but is available online.
Deciding what to pack when preparing for a trip around Australia, or full time traveling, is not easy. We hope our experience will help you. These 5 gadgets might be products you had not even given thought to, but they certainly make our time on the road easier.
We also plan to make similar blogs on: Our 5 Favourite Items & Our 5 Favourite Caravan Mods.

Hi Guys
you may remember me Angela from Burnie Penguins Tasmania? I am now seriously thinking of selling up and buying a motorhome but won’t be for another year at the earliest I have got to have a hip replacement in March so have to get myself fit after that. I know I couldn’t manage a car and caravan on my own that’s why I am thinking of the motorhome. Thank you for all the information on your web page and the monthly expenses it is all very helpful.
God bless you both
Angela
Hi Angela, yes we remember you. How exciting! Best wishes for the knee replacement. We might see you on the road again some day!
