Take note of your Caravan Layout and Fixtures

The interior caravan layout and fixtures can be the most important part of your caravan experience. There are a number of things to consider when picking the layout option that is best suited to your needs.

One is the size and type of the bed. The choice of single beds versus double beds is personal and is entirely depended on what sleeping arrangements you prefer. You should also consider if you would like a fold-up bed, so you can enjoy extra space during the day, and where you want the bed positioned: some travellers prefer an island bed, others are happy for it to be flush against the caravan side.

Make sure the caravan layout you choose has good usable storage space both inside and outside and that the wardrobe has sufficient hanging capacity. Most caravans have side door entry however you can get a handful that have a rear door entry. If you go for a rear door, make sure the dust sealing and scupper vent in the roof to pressurise the van is in excellent working order for minimising dust.

Many caravan layouts in the Jayco range have the option of built in showers, toilets and hot-water services, but if you are planning on spending most of your nights in caravan parks and you don’t mind using the shower/toilet block at the parks then a shower/toilet model might not be suitable for you.

A microwave oven is an essential feature and these days all Jayco models include one. Air-conditioning is more a matter of personal choice but it can get extremely hot in the north of Australia and if you intend heading north you will need one. Air-conditioning units are readily available.

Many new caravans are built to order, which means you have the option of customising your caravan layout and fixtures to suit your own taste.

TIP Take a tape measure with you when you go looking at caravans and motorhomes. Then you can work out what fits where. Even if you are of average height you will want to check the headroom as well. If you are taller, this may take on even more significance – you do not want to be hitting your head all the time just because you forget to check this basic caravan layout initially.
