As we prepare for the start of our 75th anniversary season at Ladram Bay Holiday Park it’s time to start planning your next caravanning getaways. With that in mind, we’ve put together a ‘must-have caravan gadgets’ list, full of everyday items that can make your next adventure; more comfortable, safer, easier, dryer and tastier.
1. HUBi Solar Hub
Power hookup isn’t an issue at Ladram, but we appreciate the more rugged explorers will visit more secluded sites too. The HUBi is ideally-suited to anyone using a tent, awning or caravan with limited power outlets and provides free, safe power for lights, charging phones, satnav and other gadgets. Alternatively if you’re camping abroad power is very useful for running a cooling fan. The HUBi is lightweight and easily-portable solar with no installation required.
Available from Solar Technology – £120
2. Purpleline Nemesis Ultra
When on holiday nobody wants to plan for worst case scenarios, but the Nemesis Ultra can provide some caravanning peace of mind. This high security caravan wheel clamp is super easy to use and incorporates a British Made anti-pick 9-pin lock from premier lock manufacturers Lowe & Fletcher. The lock mechanism is also Thatcham Category 3 Quality Assured – in short your insurance firm will approve, its very bright & extremely tough.
Available from Amazon – £138
3. Four Arm Rotary Airer & Stand
Laundry will not be top of anyone’s to-do list while on holiday, but in reality kids get muddy and food gets split.
This premium stand alone rotary airer from Quest has 4 adjustable arms giving it more strength and stability than standard 3 arm airers. With more usable drying space and the potential to hold more clothes you’re onto a winner.
For the weight conscious camper, the airers aluminium frame is very lightweight, making it extremely easy to pick up and carry. It also folds away easily and comes complete with a carry bag.
Available from Amazon – £28.65
4. Rear In-Vehicle Video Journey Recorder
Your caravan might be your second / third most valuable asset and while 99.9% of us drive sensibly, it only takes one person to cause an accident.
The Streetwise Journey Recorder can be mounted to your rear view mirror and allows you to record your journeys from behind. This provides quality video evidence in case of an accident or incident disputes.
We like it’s ‘G-Shock’ feature that activates upon significant impact to automatically lock and save the recorded evidence. A 32GB Micro SD card (not provided) can record around 16 hours video, while the 4.3’ TFT screen provides time screen information – although we wouldn’t suggest using it as a reversing camera.
Available from Machine Mart – £47.99
32GB SD card available from Amazon – £13.79
5. Handpresso
Possibly the most decadent item on our list. The Handpresso is ideal for those who crave high quality coffee but understandably aren’t willing to bring the kitchen coffee machine on holiday.
It will surely get mistaken for a bicycle pump and actually uses a pump action to generate power, so no batteries or external power is involved – perfect for when electrical hookup is not an option.
Simply pour in hot water, add an espresso pod or ground coffee and then press the release button – espresso is served.
Available at Handpresso – £88
6. Tefal Toast N’Egg
Are you always the one left on ‘washing up duty’? If so, look no further that the Tefal Toast N’Egg which combines a 2 slice toaster (muffins also fit) with a pod for a single poached egg or up to four boiled eggs.
Available from Amazon or – £32.96

Are you dreaming of your own holiday home in Devon? This picturesque region, known for its stunning coastline & landscapes, offers a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. However, purchasing a holiday home is a significant decision that requires careful consideration. Below, we outline key factors to guide you in making an informed choice when looking at holiday homes for sale in Devon.
Location, Location, Location
Accessibility: Consider how easy it is to travel to and from your potential holiday home. Proximity to major roads, airports, and public transport can affect your usage and sublet potential.
Surroundings: Are you looking for a serene countryside retreat, a beachside haven, or a holiday caravan in the heart of a bustling village? Devon offers diverse settings to match your lifestyle preferences.
Local Amenities: Explore the availability of local shops, restaurants, healthcare facilities, and entertainment options. The convenience of local amenities can significantly enhance your stay.
Caravan Type and Features
Size and Layout: Think about how much space you need, considering the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas. A well-thought-out layout is crucial to comfort, especially if you plan to host friends or rent it out.
Maintenance: Evaluate the condition of the caravan or lodge and consider ongoing maintenance requirements. Newer units may offer easier upkeep.
Facilities and Extras: Features such as parking spaces, outdoor areas, and on-site facilities (e.g., swimming pools and access to leisure activities) can add significant value and enjoyment to your holiday home.
Dog Friendly: Is the park dog friendly? Would you like to bring your four-legged friend away on a dog-friendly holiday in Devon?
Financial Implications
Potential for Sublet Income: If you’re considering renting out your holiday home when it‘s not in use, research the offers available by subletting directly. Remember to account for periods of personal use.
Insurance and Security: Holiday homes, particularly those in coastal areas, may have specific insurance requirements. Additionally, consider the security of the lodge or caravan, especially if it will be unoccupied for periods.
Lifestyle Fit
Community and Culture: Engage with the local community on-site to ensure the area feels like a good fit for you and your family. A sense of belonging can enhance your enjoyment and satisfaction.
Activities and Interests: Consider whether the area supports your hobbies and interests, whether it’s hiking, surfing, art, or dining out. Devon’s diverse landscapes and communities offer a wide range of activities year-round.
