Winter Camping & Caravanning

Winter Camping & Caravanning

Equipment to get your home away from home ready for the winter season

Cold weather changes what you need from your kit. A tent that was fine in July needs a safe heat source and a warmer sleep system in November. A caravan left standing over winter needs its water system drained, its damp kept in check and its bodywork covered. A campervan needs thermal screens at the windows and something to take the chill off in the morning.

This page brings all of it together in one place: heating you can use safely, kit for keeping damp and condensation down, everything you need to winterise a van before it's laid up, and warmer sleeping gear for anyone still getting out in the cold. Where a decision isn't obvious,  and with heating it rarely is, we've linked our guides alongside the products so you can check what's suitable before you buy.

Camping & Tent Heaters

Camping & Tent Heaters

Portable heating for tents, awnings and caravans, including low-wattage fan heaters and oil-filled radiators that won't trip a 6A hook-up, plus gas heaters for pitches with no power at all. 

Built-In Heating systems

Built-In Heating systems

Permanently fitted heating for caravans, motorhomes and campervans. Truma Combi gas and diesel systems that heat your living space and hot water together, Whale underfloor heaters and Propex blown air. Installed appliances rather than plug-ins, supplied for professional fitting.

Heating That's Built In, Not Plugged In

A plug-in heater takes the chill off. A fitted system heats the whole van and your hot water together, running on gas, diesel or hook-up electric, so you can tour through winter rather than work around it.

Drain Down Floe Kits & Winterising

Drain Down Floe Kits & Winterising

Water left standing in a caravan or motorhome over winter is the most expensive mistake you can make. Floe drain down systems clear the whole system in minutes — the Floe 868 for static caravans and chalets, and inboard tank kits for tourers and motorhomes.

Ten Minutes Now, Or a Split Pipe in February

Frost doesn't care whether you got round to it. Draining the water system is the single job that protects your pipes, pump and boiler through the cold months & it's quicker than covering the van. If your van has a Truma or similar boiler, drain that through its frost control valve too.

Caravan, Motorhome & Campervan Covers

Caravan, Motorhome & Campervan Covers

Breathable covers to keep months of weather, grime and green algae off a van in storage. Full covers and top covers for caravans, motorhomes and campervans, including Coverpro four-ply breathable and the Maypole range, plus hitch and car covers.

Breathable, Not Just Waterproof

A cover that keeps water out but won't let moisture escape traps damp against the bodywork all winter. Breathable fabric lets the van dry out underneath. Sizing matters too, covers are sold by van length, so measure before you order.

Other Covers to consider:

Thermal Blinds & Window Insulation

Windows are where the heat goes and where the condensation forms. Internal and external thermal screens for caravans, motorhomes and campervans, including Reimo screens cut to fit popular van conversions, plus insulated blinds and silver screens.

Stop the Heat Escaping Through the Glass, A single pane of glass undoes a lot of heating. External screens sit over the windscreen and cab windows to hold warmth in and keep frost off; internal blinds cut the cold draught and the morning condensation. The cheapest heating upgrade you can make to a van.
