Accessories for travel trailers and motorhomes
Trailer and motorhome tent
It usually follows the shape of the trailer. It has a depth of 2.5 or 3 meters. On a motorhome, it attaches to the existing awning. Despite its beauty, the tent requires about one hour for installation and disassembly, and we recommend buying it in cases where you expect long - of at least 1 week. Popular brands of tents - Izabella (Germany), DWT Zelte (Germany) and brand (Germany)
Awning
Very convenient accessory. One person can extend or retract it in 2 minutes. It provides shade and takes up no luggage space during transport. Popular awning brands: FIAMMA (Italy) and THULE-OMNISTOR (Sweden)
Shatterproof tableware for trailers and motorhomes
In Russian conditions, it is not always possible to have permanently connected water to the trailer.
Therefore, we recommend having disposable dishes. Shatterproof cups and plates still have to be washed, which consumes water.
TV mount designed for motorhomes and trailers
The television and satellite antenna should be purchased in Russia, but the mount should be bought in Germany. The fact is that they are designed exactly for the size of the trailer and you, with the help of it, can turn the television in whichever direction you need – in the bedroom, outside or in the kitchen.
Water hose
A water hose is essential; it should be long and supplied on a reel. There is no need to explain why it should be long—it is self-evident.
Gas pressure regulator
Always have a spare in case the main one fails.
Gas cylinder
One of the most important accessories in the trailer and motorhome. There should be two gas cylinders.
Gas-cylinder level gauge
It is essential in cold weather.
Bicycle rack
If you are the owner of a Premium-class trailer, you will encounter one unpleasant surprise, which the trailer manufacturer tries to keep silent.
The fact is that on Premium trailers, the holder is installed only in front, whereas other trailers can also have one fitted at the rear.
The front installation creates inconvenience when cornering the car towing the trailer. If the angle between the axis of the car and the trailer is exceeded, there is a risk that the bicycle rack will strike and damage the car. When choosing a trailer, this must be taken into account.
Generator
An indispensable accessory. We recommend buying in Russia. If your trailer has air conditioning, the generator power must be at least 2.7 kW.
We recommend buying an inverter generator. They are relatively quiet, which is important when used in campsites, and weather-resistant.
Jack
If you own a trailer, you need a jack, but not only for changing the wheel.
Some parking places do not have a perfectly flat area, but in order to be comfortable in the trailer to sleep, it must stand perfectly even. On the longitudinal axis, you align it easily with the help of the standard front jockey wheel and lower the stabilizer legs. But what if the trailer is tilted on a transverse axis? This is what the jack is designed for.
Additional rear-view mirrors
All trailer owners need such mirrors. The trailer is wider than the car. And when towing along the highway, they are necessary.
Special toilet paper for cassette toilets
Of course, you can use ordinary, but this paper dissolves completely in the toilet chemicals, making the cassette easy to empty.
Cassette toilet chemicals
Available as a liquid or in pre-measured sachets. It's easy to buy in Russia.
Water pump 12V
It often fails. It is easy to replace and relatively inexpensive. A spare pump is always required on the trip.
Portable water tank
When you travel, all your belongings are in the trailer. The trunk of the car is almost empty. It can be used to place a water tank. If you have run out of water in the trailer, and there is no water in the parking lot, then you can easily go to the nearest car wash or gas station for water and pour it into the trailer tanks.
Barrel pump
It is used to transfer water from the portable tank to the trailer tanks. Powered by 220 V mains electricity
