Extending the living space of a caravan with a caravan awning is the perfect solution for those with limited accommodation. The prices of awnings can vary wildly depending on the make, quality and size. Yet there are plenty of new and used caravan awnings that could be suitable for your needs.

Very often the purchasing of a used one can save you quite a tidy sum  over the price of a new one. Providing the awning has had a careful owner there is no reason why you can't expect years of servicable use and at a fraction of the cost. You may well find that you can purchase a top of the range caravan awning at far less than you would have paid for a new one of far less quality.

Taking care of your awning should be a top priority, and if you find it has a few marks or stains they can generally be removed witha little warm water and some elbow grease. Don't be tempted to use washing-up liquid or anything stronger as it could damage the surface. Really stubborn stains may require a specialist awning cleaner.

You may have to do a little searching to find exactly what you're looking for, and that can be quicker and easier on-line, but there's nothing to stop you checking out the local papers as well. New or used, the additional living space that you get for you and your family to move around in, will keep the kids out of the way yet in sight, and you will wonder how you ever coped without one.

Graham says:

Trying to manoeuvring a caravan can at times be a somewhat of a struggle. It can be tedious, back-breaking and sometimes dangerous work. It doesn't have to be that way however. Caravan Movers will enable you to move your caravan with relative ease, saving you time and grief.

Having purchased your touring caravan, you have spent weeks looking over the route on your maps, the car's jammed full of everything your family might need on a two week holiday, the cats been given to granny to look after, the open road is calling you. All that has been left to do at the last minute is attach the car to the caravan.

How hard can it be?

It is typically at this point in the caravan holiday that everybody realises the weight of stuff they've packed into the caravan to go on holiday. “It was a lot easier in the showroom” is what you can hear most people say the first time they try and hitch up their new caravan after filling it with holiday clothes for a family of four. If you think that’s heavy wait until the return journey home when you’ve bought half of Europe’s beer and wine and a souvenir from every town you visited.

You eventually swallow your pride and ask some neighbours to help you, but they won't be able to help when you get to your holiday destination, what will you do there when unhitching and setting up or hitching up to come home? Again you'll swallow your pride and ask others around you to help, but it doesn’t have to be like that. There is a simple piece of equipment that can make the whole process of hitching and un-hitching caravans really easy.

The Caravan Motor Mover is something that is used everyday at the caravan showrooms but is seldom mentioned when your buying your new or used caravan. Now I don't think it's an intentional ommission by the caravan sales staff but with so many add extra features I guess its not put on the importabce list. For many however a caravan motor mover can be the difference of having a great holiday or worrying about how they will start and end the holiday.

There's a few different manufacturers of caravan motor movers, Powrline, Truma, Reich, Rhyno to name a couple of them, but in theory they all have the equivalent function, to move your caravan for you. There are models that will move double axel caravans weighing up to 2500kg just every bit as easy as moving single axle caravans weighing a great deal less.

Contemporary caravan motor movers all include some type of smooth stop and start to preclude your caravan pitching forward or backwards. They function with efficiency and all ground types even snow, grit, gravel and even the muddy grass of your caravan site, you should never find yourself in a position were you can not move your caravan. They'll pull your caravan up slopes and easy them gently down hills just equally as safe.

Running off a 12v battery, caravan motor movers operate by compressing a rough roller against the caravan tyres and slowly (30cm/min) turning. The rollers can be controlled at the same time on each tyre to pull in a straight line or independently to permit the caravan to turn. All single and most double axle caravan motor movers will revolve the caravan on its own axes, cutting back the space needed to manoeuvre the caravan.

A caravan motor mover is such a good addition to your caravan they should be equipped as standard in my opinion. Regrettably they're not but it's something I advocate you invest in as soon as you buy your caravan.

There are generally two types of Caravans:

Touring Caravans are ones that are towed behind a vehicle and allows travellers to camp as well as travel anywhere with in Europe or UK. Static Caravans are ones that are semi-permanent pitch-able vehicles which are fitted with water pipes, sewers and electricity. The Caravan insurance for both of them is different because they cover different risks. Touring Caravans have issues such as being involved in a collision, road accidents etc. Static Caravans may be involved in havoc caused by nature for example flooding of the area where it is parked or falling of trees. One main risk in both the types of Caravans is thievery.
