So, you've finally bought your first caravan, brilliant! Exciting times... a completely blank canvas to add some personality and create a beautiful cosy home away from home. Just like with a new house, a few small changes here and there, will get your caravan feeling like a home in no time, and we are here to help, with our top ways to make your caravan more homely.

1. Accessorize

Add some beautiful accessories to match your interior. Introduce some beautiful cushions and throws to the sofa, bring your bedding from home for the bedroom, and add in a lamp or rug to the living area. (Just make sure that all accessories are affixed or stored securely whilst on the move!)

2. Awnings

Add an awning onto your caravan to add extra space. It will act as a conservatory which will give a more homely feel, and it will give you a safe place to watch the rain fall or admire the view. It's also the ideal place for outdoor dining or for the children to play.

Zombies: whether you love them or hate them you have to admit that the public's love for this gruesome genre has grown in recent years since the début of AMC's hit TV series “The Walking Dead” in 2010.

Ahead of the premiere of its 8^th Season this October, the show seems to be more popular than ever.

With views and demand for more gore on the rise, many of us have started to wonder whether a zombie apocalypse is possible and how likely we are to survive the inevitable downfall of civilization that would undoubtedly follow.

Thankfully there are a lot of very informative resources out there to help us prepare for the apocalyptic rise of the dead, from tips on how to avoid becoming infected with whatever virus has caused the plague to survival guides and even detailed instructions on how to begin a new civilization. Seriously!

Because we are pretty good at all things camping and caravanning we've decided to put our expertise to good use and create our own survival guide for when the inevitable will become reality.

Summer is a perfect time for camping, people are going on their summer holidays and the festival season is in full flow. Time to pack your tent and enjoy the summer sun. When packing for a camping trip it can be difficult to know what you need without over packing. We have stripped back our camping essentials checklist to include some items that are more compact and easier to take to festivals. We have hand picked items we feel will make your camping trip more comfortable and enjoyable.

1. Tent

Always have a test run of putting up your tent before your trip, to get yourself familiar with the tent and to check you have enough tent pegs.

2. Sleeping Bag
A cosy sleeping bag is one of the key essentials when camping to make sure you get a good nights sleep ready for the next days adventures.
