Caravan NSW


  • Are you thinking about caravanning Central NSW?

    There is so much to see and do in Central NSW and caravanning is one of the best ways to take full advantage of it.  Having the flexibility of a caravan in tow provides the benefit of not having to plan so much ahead, you are not committed to the length of your stay, you are able to enjoy the places you visit instead of being rushed off your feet. There is an increasing number of Aussies travelling Australia in caravans and camper vans, simply because it is cost effective, flexible and so much to explore.  Here is what you must know before setting off on your Central NSW road trip.

    Understand that things can go wrong

    How many times have you made plans and things inevitably go wrong? The caravan park you wanted to stay at might be booked out.  The weather forecast said it was warm and sunny, instead it’s windy and raining when you arrive.  Your car or caravan may have suffered a mechanical problem and you need vehicle transport to get your car or caravan moved back home.  Unforeseen circumstances can arise, be prepared and have backup plans in place.

    Prepare to share your space

    Being stuck together in a caravan no matter how big or small it is can really test your relationship, be prepared to share the space and communicate with each other if things are bothering you.  Being stuck with someone within a confined space for a long period can make anyone irritable, try setting up a schedule or timetable so everyone is on the same page to reduce conflict.

    Have a checklist of essential items

    When travelling in a caravan, do not underestimate the importance of some of the items you must bring.  Apart from choosing the right towing aid that suits your vehicle and the caravan you plan on towing, it is essential to create a comprehensive checklist of items you may need for your caravan trip.  Start with wheel chocks, caravan jack, towing mirrors, fire extinguisher, spare tyres and recovery tracks.

    Change your driving habits

    Take extra care and have a lot of patience when towing a caravan, safety is a priority and with all that extra weight you are carrying, it’ll take longer to stop in an emergency.  Leave sufficient room in front of you and make use of slow vehicle turnouts if necessary.  Accept the fact that there will always be drivers out there racing to get to where they want to be and if cutting you off is what it takes then they will not hesitate. Keep a level head and take it easy on the roads, what matters is that you get to your destination safely.
