Top 10 Things That Break On A Caravan: Prepare Yourself With Caravan Spare Parts

If you're a caravan enthusiast, you know that hitting the open road with your home on wheels is an amazing feeling. Whether it's a weekend getaway or an extended road trip, caravanning provides a unique sense of freedom and adventure. 

Like any vehicle, caravans are not immune to wear and tear and it's important to have the necessary tools to fix any issues, especially if you are going on long trips with periods of isolation. That's where we, the experts in caravan spare parts, come in. Here are 10 common things that can break while caravanning and how you can prepare, to ensure you don’t get stuck on the open road. 

Tyres

Let's start with the basics. Caravan tyres are exposed to the elements, endure long journeys, and can wear out or puncture. Having spare tyres, wheel bearings and wheel nuts, as well as the necessary tools to change them is a must for any caravan owner.

Lights 

Caravan lights are essential for safety on the road. Bulbs can burn out, wiring can fray, and lenses can crack. Have a few spares, and the tools to replace them, ensuring you remain visible and compliant with road regulations.

Water System Components

Faulty caravan water tanks, water pump, leaking pipes, or a broken faucet can quickly turn your caravan trip into a nightmare. Carry spare parts for these vital components to keep your water supply flowing smoothly.

Gas System 

The gas system in your caravan is responsible for cooking and heating. Faulty regulators, valves, or hoses can disrupt your comfort and safety. Protect these items with bottle covers and keep spare parts like an extra gas bottle and tools for these components on hand to avoid unexpected issues.

Awning 

Caravan awnings provide shade and shelter, but they are exposed to wind and weather. Carry spare awning parts, such as poles, pegs, and fabric patches, to ensure your outdoor living space remains functional.

Electrical System 

Modern caravans come with a variety of electrical components, from sockets to inverters. A blown fuse or a malfunctioning socket can be inconvenient, especially if you have necessary items like a caravan or car fridge, solar panels or a car battery. Always have spare fuses, sockets, and wiring in your toolkit.

Brakes 

Caravan brakes are crucial for safe towing. Brake pads and cables can wear out over time. Regular maintenance and having spare brake parts on hand can prevent accidents and ensure smooth stopping.

Roof Vents

Ventilation is essential to maintain a comfortable interior temperature. Roof vents can become damaged or cracked. Keep spare vent covers and seals to prevent leaks and maintain airflow.

Locks and Latches

Security is paramount when you're on the road. Faulty locks and latches compromise the safety of your caravan. Having spare locks and latches can give you peace of mind.

Windows 

Caravan windows provide security, natural light and a view of the outside world. They can break or develop leaks. Spare window seals and replacement windows can help you address these issues promptly.

How To Avoid A Ruined Caravan Trip

While you can’t avoid every incident, it is important to be prepared in the event of an accident. Here's how to prepare to avoid costly repairs or needing a tow vehicle to save you from a sticky situation, especially if you are on an off road trip, in remote locations:

  • Carry spares. Carrying spare caravan accessories like a second spare wheel will ensure you never get stranded while camping. 
  • Have a puncture repair kit. If it isn't possible to carry a spare tyre, having a puncture repair kit can help avoid a flat tyre if the hole is found early and repaired. 
  • Keep a general repair kit. Always have items like duct tape, cable ties, a blue plastic tarp, utility ropes, and a spare battery on hand in the event of small but necessary caravan maintenance that can be done while on the road. 
  • If you stay at caravan parks and are in a pinch, ask around if anyone has any repair tools or spares.
