Early bird sales are frequent and many- so it’s truly worth taking a look and planning your trip in advance.
It’s always worth heading online and finding the best tourist park to suit your needs.

Before you even begin your trip, there’s some important stuff you’ll have to map out first.
You’ll have to sort your towing aid, get your caravan weighed and you’ll have to stock up on some important essentials before you head off.
This can range from a fire extinguisher, a first aid kit, towing mirrors, coolant & oil, caravan jacks- and that’s only scraping the surface.
It’s better to get your checklist sorted as soon as possible, that way you’ll have time to learn what you need over time.
Plus, you won’t be forced to drop all your cash on equipment in one go!
As they always say- you’re better safe than sorry.

Bring along a spare tire, a first aid kit, some spare water bottles- you name it.

A simple yet extremely important tip to remember is always to be mindful of your surroundings.
Be kind to mother nature and pick up your rubbish/litter and bring all your equipment home with you.
A good rule of thumb is always to leave your campsite as you found it.
Always share your itinerary with a family member or friend before you head off.
