If you’re setting off on a static caravan touring holiday, you might be wondering what exactly you need to bring with you. Of course there are essentials, luxuries and things that can be left behind in order to enjoy your time at Maguires Country Parks!
Living on the road in a small, confined space for a number of weeks can put your ability to be minimalistic to the ultimate test, especially when storage is limited. That’s why it’s important to pack sensibly and practically in order to enjoy your touring break hassle-free.
If you’re new to holidaying in a static caravan or have been a few times, it can still feel overwhelming when it comes to packing.
Here is our essentials checklist for your self catering caravan trip at Maguires!
