If you are in the market for one of those nifty pop up campers, you will also be interested in all the pop up camper accessories you can purchase to make your life more comfortable on the road. So let’s take a look at seven of these accessories (some that are very simple and cheap) that will make your next adventure a trip to remember.
- 90 degree water hose elbow: You will often find that one end of the fresh water hose is metal and the other is plastic, causing the plastic end to perish quickly. Another problem is that you may have to stretch your fresh water hose 90 degrees to make the connection with the mains supply. All this means that your water hose is continually stretched and starts to perish quickly. The solution is a metal 90 degree water hose elbow, which is one of the cheapest pop up camper accessories you will ever purchase.
- Water filters: Sometimes the mains water isn’t all that clean, which means that you need a water filter that sits between your fresh water hose and your water tank. This removes chlorine, as well as dirt and sediment, but try to find one with a flexible hose protector to prevent the connections perishing quickly.
- Mattress toppers: Many of the mattresses inside campervans are fairly thin and if you are used to a nice thick mattress, you might suffer a few sleepless nights. The alternative to buying a thicker mattress, which can be quite expensive, is to buy a padded mattress topper or even an eggshell topper. You can check review portal MyBestMattress for list of best options and other sleeping essentials.
- Generator: Even with solar power and deep cell batteries, you often need more power than you can supply on the road. A portable generator with a remote start is the ideal solution, allowing you to start it up while still inside your campervan, which is perfect if it’s cold and wet outside. This can be one of the more expensive pop up camper accessories, but it’s worth its weight in gold when you need it.
- Leveling blocks: If you can’t level your campervan, then sleeping and even walking inside is going to be a problem. Leveling blocks are cheap to buy and make your life so much easier when parking for the night. A tip here is to keep them in a separate container or bag, so they are easily accessible when you need them.
- Wheel chocks: Waking up to find that your campervan is heading for the highway, isn’t a good start to your holiday. This is why these simple wheel chocks are so great, because you jam them behind the wheels and you aren’t going anywhere!
- Portable step: When your campervan is just a little too high off the ground, it might not seem such an issue when it’s parked in your driveway. After a few days of your adventure however, you will soon notice that it’s becoming a pain. Keeping a small and lightweight step just inside your camper van is the quick and easy solution to this problem. Another one of those pop up camper accessories that you didn’t know you needed until it’s too late!
There are plenty more pop up camper accessories on the market, these are just the ones that you should check out first, because they will make a big difference to the quality of your road trip.
