If you’re thinking of booking a caravan holiday, or you’ve already booked one, check out our caravan holiday packing list below!
We run through what you should leave in your caravan, and what you should bring with you.

- Large water container and carrier
- Water pump
- Large waste container
- Gas bottle & regulator
