Keep Your Caravan Cool This Summer with These Simple Expert Tips
Summer is just around the corner and its time to hit the roads again in your caravan. The weather will be hot but there is no need to skip a road trip just because of the heat. There are ways in which you can keep the caravan cool even in summer. Life on the road is not always tough and thanks to modern technology, you can indulge in personal comforts easily. For example, just setup a rollout awning and you get your personal space and shade right where you park the vehicle. All it takes is a little preparation and some research to keep your caravan cool in summer.
We have compiled this list of simple yet effective tips that will help you to enjoy summer road trips in a cool and comfortable caravan.
Add Wall Insulation
Most caravans will have roof insulation so you need not worry about that. For proper insulation, make sure that you get wall insulation as well. And if you are really looking for the hard-to-penetrate insulation for your caravan, then it is better to apply an insulating paint on the roof.
Go for Pop-Top Caravans
Pop-Top caravans are ideal for summer road trips as they hardly need any insulation. The vents in the retractable skirts allow air to move in easily and this helps in getting the heat out. This is a good option for those who do not want to invest in insulation at the moment.
Install a Good Caravan Awning or Annexe
This makes a lot of difference in terms of personal comfort and convenience. Get yourself a caravan awning or caravan annexe and forget about your troubles. The awnings and annexes can be set up in no time. Motorized awnings and annexes are also available which can be setup in seconds with the flick of a switch. Not only do you get your very own personal space, but also get to enjoy some much needed privacy which can be a luxury when travelling.
Change Your Caravan’s Lighting
Did you know that your caravan’s lighting can actually heat up the space? Incandescent bulbs and halogens give off a lot of heat which is obviously not desirable. Replace such lighting with LEDs as they are cooler and are comparatively energy efficient.
Park The Caravan in Shade
What better way to escape the heat than finding a good shade. Search for the perfect spot for parking your vehicle and you will be able to avoid heat. Trust me, this can make a lot of difference.
Get Proper Air Conditioning
Air conditioning may be an expensive affair, but it offers effective cooling inside the caravan. It will increase your energy consumption, but you can be assured of peaceful sleep and comfort even during the hottest hours of the day. If you have checked into a caravan park, then check whether powered sites are available. It will cost you more, but at the end of the day, it will be money well spent.
