When you invest in a caravan, safety should be your number one priority. You can protect your family by investing in safety products such as smoke alarms that will alert you should a fire break out.
As well as a working smoke detector, you should also invest in a fire bucket in case of an emergency. Lastly, fit a gas alarm designed to detect carbon monoxide.
Breakdown Kits
You wouldn’t leave home on a road trip without stocking your car with safety equipment and so it should be no different in a caravan. Caravan breakdown kits are another item to add to your safety checklist.
Owning a breakdown kit will ensure that you are always prepared should the worst happen. Your kit should include a warning triangle, a pop-up traffic cone, an emergency hammer and a rotating amber beacon lamp. These items can be used to warn other motorists of your predicament and increase visibility in bad weather. Having these items at hand will help you to stay safe while waiting for help to arrive.
Hi-Vis Gear
You should always stow away some hi-vis clothing in the event of a breakdown. Reflective vests can make sure that you are visible to other road users especially at night. Invest in a hi-vis garment for each member of the family and lastly, add a pair of night vision glasses to your safety kit.
These glasses help to reduce the glare from oncoming cars and will provide maximum visibility should your caravan breakdown during the night. We stock hi-vis gear in all sizes so you can shop for the whole family.
Before you set off on your next caravan trip, ensure that your safety kit is fully stocked. You will be legally required to carry certain items if you live in Europe, for example, hi-vis vests and warning triangles so don’t forget to do your research.
