Lighting and signaling – lamps, headlamps and lanterns
Light brings safety and comfort. Prepare a manual, static and solar option.
Choose reliable solutions from Lighting and combine a headlamp for hands-free work with a flashlight for moving in the dark. Solar lamps are quiet and convenient at the table.
Hygiene and cleaning – detergents and practical accessories
A clean camp means less effort later. Keep things tidy with organized washing and storage stations.
For the sanitary area, get a discreet chemical toilet and supplies. For clean dishes and textiles, check Preparations and add useful little things from Accessories . It is convenient to have separate bags for clean and dirty.
Organization and transportation – carts, cabinets and zones
The better the organization, the less lifting and carrying. Unload the effort with suitable helpers.
To transport to the beach or meadow, use Camping Carts . Arrange food and utensils in Kitchens and cabinets and save walking between the caravan and the table.
Seasons and climate – choosing shelter and warmth
Consider the location, wind, and nighttime temperatures. For the mountains, look for a 3-season tent, and for cold weather, look for a 4-season tent.
If you're cooking outside, check the wind direction and put up a shelter. For the transitional months, light gas heaters and more layers of clothing are handy.
When traveling by the sea, add beach shade and a lounger. For longer stays, think about a water tank and a convenient portable shower.
