Kitchen gear<\/h4>\n<p>Equipping your static caravan kitchen is probably going to be one of the biggest outlays. From pots and pans, to cooking utensils, a toaster, kettle, plus plates, bowls, cups, mugs and glasses, you&#8217;re going to need enough gear to be able to feed and water the number of people staying in the caravan. For glassware, there&#8217;s everyday glasses, plastic or bamboo for any children, then things like wine, beer and gin glasses if you drink alcohol. Many supermarkets do a &#8220;basic&#8221; range to get you started or you could even scour the charity shops.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-9681\" src=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/cow08-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"2020 ABI Coworth kitchen\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/cow08-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/cow08-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/cow08-380x253.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/cow08-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/cow08.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Also don&#8217;t forget things like cutlery, knives for meal prep, a bottle and a can opener, as well as a pyrex jug, a few mixing bowls, cooking trays and dishes for the oven, oh, and a colander for draining vegetables and pasta, for example.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-13003\" src=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pouring-cuppa-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pouring-cuppa-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pouring-cuppa-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pouring-cuppa-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pouring-cuppa-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pouring-cuppa-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/pouring-cuppa-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Finally, you&#8217;ll want the essentials, so you can make yourself a cuppa when you arrive, such as tea, coffee, sugar, and then condiments like, salt, pepper, vinegar, ketchup, mayonnaise etc.<\/p>\n<h4>2. Cleaning gear<\/h4>\n<p>As well as the usual cleaning products for the kitchen, bathrooms, toilets, and living areas you&#8217;ll also need a selection of cloths and dusters, a mop and brushes for vinyl floors, as well as a dustpan and brush, a bucket and a vacuum cleaner for keeping on top of cleaning your static caravan.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-8382\" src=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/equipment-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"static caravan cleaning equipment\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/equipment-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/equipment-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/equipment-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/equipment-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/equipment.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A brush for sweeping up leaves and debris outside is also a must, to keep things looking ship-shape throughout the season.<\/p>\n<h4>3. Bedding<\/h4>\n<p>As well as pillows, duvets and covers for all the beds, also consider extra blankets to keep you warm in the colder months or to use in the living area for cosy nights in.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-10074\" src=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_3446-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"2020 Pathfinder Hawthorne lodge bedroom\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_3446-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_3446-100x75.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_3446-380x285.jpeg 380w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_3446-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_3446.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>4. Bins<\/h4>\n<p>You&#8217;ll need a waste bin in your kitchen for packaging etc and we like to have one in the bathroom too. You might also want to buy a bin for outside if your park doesn&#8217;t provide one to save regular trips to the bin store.<\/p>\n<h4>5. Vacuum storage bags<\/h4>\n<p>These are great for keeping bedding and towels in, even clothes, and are a great space saver. They can be kept under the bed or in the wardrobe.<\/p>\n<h4>6. TV<\/h4>\n<p>Not many people can go without a TV when on their static caravan holidays, even if it&#8217;s just catching up on the news, or enjoying a film on a rainy day. It might also be worth getting one with a built-in DVD player or even a Smart TV.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Pemberton-Rivendale-Lodge-Fireplace-TV.jpg\" alt=\"Pemberton Rivendale Lodge Fireplace &amp; TV\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Pemberton-Rivendale-Lodge-Fireplace-TV.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Pemberton-Rivendale-Lodge-Fireplace-TV-75x100.jpg 75w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Pemberton-Rivendale-Lodge-Fireplace-TV-285x380.jpg 285w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>7. Mobile router<\/h4>\n<p>If you want internet access and have a Smart TV you might need a mobile router.\u00a0 Of course your park might have Wi-Fi connectivity but sometimes this can be patchy, particularly in the high season. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/staying-connected-in-your-holiday-caravan-6336\">A mobile router<\/a> is like an internet box you might have at home but instead of a phone cable, they have a SIM card inside.\u00a0You&#8217;ll need to pay a charge to top up your SIM card but many will let you connect numerous devices &#8211; great if you have children.<\/p>\n<h4>8. A hairdryer<\/h4>\n<p>It might not be everyone, but particularly for the females in the caravan, a hairdryer is pretty essential to dry their locks after a shower! Keeping one in your static caravan means one less thing to worry about when packing to leave your home.<\/p>\n<h4>9. Outdoor furniture and covers<\/h4>\n<p>There&#8217;s nothing like relaxing outside your holiday caravan and enjoying the weather or watching the world go by. Many owners have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/guide-to-outdoor-furniture-for-your-holiday-caravan-10871\">outdoor furniture<\/a> to relax in or for eating meals al fresco, on a warm evening.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-14225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_8454-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"outdoor furniture\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_8454-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_8454-380x253.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_8454-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_8454-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_8454-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_8454-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can spend as little or as much as you like on furniture, from cheap patio sets to large rattan sofas or even egg chairs! And then a cover is a worthwhile investment to protect your furniture whilst you&#8217;re not using it or away from your caravan.<\/p>\n<h4>10. Barbecue<\/h4>\n<p>Continuing with the enjoyment of your outdoor space, everyone loves a good barbecue, right? We love being able to cook and eat outdoors when the weather&#8217;s nice.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-14222\" src=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/BBQ-at-a-static-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"bbq at a static caravan\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/BBQ-at-a-static-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/BBQ-at-a-static-380x285.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/BBQ-at-a-static-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/BBQ-at-a-static-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/BBQ-at-a-static-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/BBQ-at-a-static-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Again, prices vary depending on your taste from small charcoal ones, to portable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/leisuredays-gear-guide-gas-barbecues-7255\">gas barbecues<\/a> and even large barbecues that a professional chef would be proud of! But do think about how you&#8217;ll store it when not in use. A bigger one might be best kept under a waterproof storage cover.<\/p>\n<h4>11. Step ladder and tools<\/h4>\n<p>Even though you&#8217;re on your static caravan holidays there are always some little DIY jobs or emergency repairs that might need carrying out, such as changing a light bulb, cleaning the guttering, or replacing a fuse. Or even building some flatpack furniture.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-14223\" src=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/tools-cleaning-etc-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/tools-cleaning-etc-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/tools-cleaning-etc-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/tools-cleaning-etc-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/tools-cleaning-etc-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/tools-cleaning-etc-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/tools-cleaning-etc-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;d recommend having a step ladder and a little toolkit, as well as some spares, such as batteries, lightbulbs, fuses, torches, even candles for those small emergencies.<\/p>\n<h4>12. Outdoor storage box or shed<\/h4>\n<p>If you do have some outdoor furniture and a barbecue, plus tools, toys, gas bottles, and even a lawnmower or bikes, you&#8217;ll want an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/gear-guide-outdoor-storage-at-your-static-caravan-or-lodge-7416\/\">outdoor storage box or shed<\/a> to store them in when you&#8217;re away from your static caravan and to protect things from the elements.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-14224\" src=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_4493-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"static caravan storage \" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_4493-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_4493-380x285.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_4493-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_4493-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_4493-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_4493-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s quite a bit of choice, but do check with your park first to see if there any types they don&#8217;t allow, such as plastic storage boxes.<\/p>\n<h4>13. Moisture traps<\/h4>\n<p>When leaving your static caravan unoccupied a moisture trap will help to collect excess damp in the air. They&#8217;re also great for small bathrooms which can harvest damp.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-13811\" src=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_4540-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"damp prevention\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_4540-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_4540-380x285.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_4540-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_4540-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_4540-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_4540-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>14. Ornaments and plants<\/h4>\n<p>Make your static caravan like a home from home with a few ornaments, photos and even plants &#8211; obviously consider what kind of plant if you&#8217;re not able to keep on top of watering! Or even artificial ones.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-13289\" src=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Victory-Franklin_108-1024x642.jpg\" alt=\"2023 Victory Franklin holiday lodge\" width=\"640\" height=\"401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Victory-Franklin_108-1024x642.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Victory-Franklin_108-380x238.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Victory-Franklin_108-100x63.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Victory-Franklin_108-768x482.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Victory-Franklin_108-1536x963.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Victory-Franklin_108.jpg 1808w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>15. Games and books<\/h4>\n<p>Whether you have children or not, a few board games, playing cards and books will be a godsend on a wet weekend.\u00a0Plus toys if you have young children, even a small paddling pool for summer fun!<\/p>\n<h4>16. Bikes<\/h4>\n<p>A bike or two will not only keep you active but can also be used for getting around your park or exploring the local area. There are even lots of electric bikes on the market too if you want to take things easy!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/TernVektron.jpg\" alt=\"Tern Vektron electric bike\" width=\"540\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/TernVektron.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/TernVektron-380x380.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/TernVektron-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>17. Lawnmower<\/h4>\n<p>Most parks will take care of the grass cutting as part of your fees but many owners prefer to do their own. If you have a grassed area as part of your pitch a small lawnmower will keep it looking in tip-top condition. Some other gardening accessories like spades, trowels, secateurs and gloves could come in handy.<\/p>\n<h4>18. Security device<\/h4>\n<p>If you have some expensive items in your static caravan you&#8217;ll want to keep them protected.
