Whether you are a seasoned camper or about to dabble into the world of caravanning, staying ahead of the latest trends and innovations is a must. With the ever increasing popularity of caravanning and outdoor adventures in Australia, 2024 is set to be another cracking year with innovative and essential products to get you ready for the road.
That is why we have compiled the ultimate list of caravan and camping equipment to look out for in 2024. From power needs to water filtration, this list will keep you up to date and ready for an unforgettable and comfortable outdoor experience.
Let’s kick it off!
Renogy
From what started as a small project at an American University and the aid of the Louisianna Business and Technology Centre. Renogy is poised to make a lasting impact, not only on the caravan and RV market but on the world itself, with its innovative renewable energy solutions. From lithium batteries, their charging systems and solar panels, Renogy are bound to have something perfect for your off grid camping and caravanning needs.
A game changer to keep an eye on is the Renogy DCC50S and DCC30S Dual Input DC to DC Battery Charger with MPPT. These little beauties will ensure your batteries are receiving the optimum power through your alternator of your car while driving and your solar panels. Unlike some other brands that can only draw amps from the alternator or solar at one time. Renogy can do both, so there is no wasted energy on those long days of driving in the sun. You will arrive at camp fully charged and ready to go. Check out the full range of Renogy gear here.

Power Packs
With the world expanding on the love of lithium batteries, companies are designing and releasing state of the art power packs ready to suit any camper, caravanner or even in your home. From small overnight power packs to full house backup power stations there is a huge range of battery power packs available. The most obvious difference between a standard lithium battery and power pack is the ability to just plug and play. With built-in outlets for 240V appliances, USB ports and cigarette sockets, the power packs are ready to use and easy to charge. Options to charge from your house before you set off, your car as you travel or solar panels when set up makes it the number one choice for power on the go.
Brands such as Bluetti, EcoFlow, Maxwatt and Goal Zero are leaders of the pack in supplying quality power packs with a range of sizes. You can take your Cpap machine away, power your laptop and camera chargers and even boil the billy with some packs. You can head away knowing you can take your appliances from home and be self-sufficient at the same time. These power packs are also great to use for house backup in storm seasons. Keep your fridge running, your phones charged and lights on next thunderstorm, a must have piece of camping equipment if I do say myself.

Lighter vans
90% of caravans made in Australia have off-road chassis or heavy steel constructed Thankfully essential caravans have put out a lighter van built on a European type chassis Small yes at 14’ but tare weight 1140kg Weekender it’s called We don’t go off-road and tow a 3 tonne loaded monster Our next tow vehicle will be a 2.5 ltr hybrid Sub gross 1600 kgs is our next van All the crap about vans crumbling is garbage We’ve just travelled from Melbourne along the Kidman way to Karumba and across to the coast Apart from a few spots roads were really good We don’t want dirt. Correlations etc There’s more than enough made roads in Auss to explore I’m hoping this trend of lighter vans snowballs Just sayingBy: Brian on 01 December 2023

Hi Brian, we do like to build things tough in Australia and rightly so as there is some rugged terrain out there to explore. If this isn't your thing, then it is great caravan manufacturers are covering the market of sealed road drivers. Have fun caravanning
