Just caught up with all your videos and subscribed. Great job guys! Sorry to hear all about the trauma of your caravan theft. I can't begin to imagine how bad that must have been! It's now time to look forward and it looks like that's exactly what you intend to do. We will be at NEC Thurs , Friday and Saturday so look out for your toes.....I'll be on my mobility scooter lol Please come say hello if you see us - Lin
Hi @caravanstuff2827 Absolutely 🤗 No caravan should be without all these little additions ❤️ Many thanks for watching, Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele xxx
The collapsible crates are a great idea and store lots of things in them, but they are easily hidden when not using them. Fantastic video thanks Michele
Hi Jessica, Thank you for watching & thanks for your kind words 🤗 We’re delighted you found our video helpful. Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele.
I've bought the kettle - brilliant, much better than waiting for our stove top kettle to boil and the mirror - this has changed my morning routine completely, as I can now see to put my makeup on ( I can also see things I'd rather not see too 😜). Thank you for sharing. I've also purchased a 1.5 litre slow cooker x
Hi D, So pleased you are finding our recommendations useful 😀 We absolutely love our kettle & wouldn’t be without the mirror even, as you say, it magnifies the bits you don’t want to see 😆 Many thanks & best wishes, Keith & Michele x
Been watching some of your clips and liked the mirror you had,just had mine delivered from Amazon,what a great bit of kit to have in a caravan.Great videos.
Hi Victor, It’s great isn’t it 😀 Many thanks for watching, we’re delighted you’re enjoying our videos & finding them helpful 👍🏻 Sending our best wishes, Keith & Michele.
Thanks s0 much! I have a new camper and no one else has information to set one up from scratch. Your video has made me think of some things I would’ve missed.
Hi Victoria, Congratulations on your new camper 🎉 Such an exciting time for you 😀 Delighted you found our video helpful, wishing you many happy travels & adventures, Keith & Michele.
Another great video, thanks. Like us you consider your caravan as an extension to your home with all the touches to make it comfortable and chic. Our friends are amazed when they get the guided tour when visiting us as to how much space we have, the quality of the furnishings and all the little homely touches like flowers, throws and extra cushions. We have been using the folding crates for years, started with the ones that you have but have moved on to a sturdier version for the bottles and cans.. We tow with a pickup truck with a top over the pickup bed so we can store everything in there on the move. The sturdier boxes stack a little more securely and form a good base for a single layer of the lightweight ones. Happy travels, maybe we'll meet up one day! Andrew and Margaret.
Hi Andrew & Margaret, Absolutely agree, our caravan is a home from home with all the comforting touches (possibly nicer than home 😆) Thanks for sharing your methods of storage when towing 👍🏻 and many thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.
Hello. Just wanted to say thank you for your recommendation of the Light Up suction mirror. It was a great little recommendation that we had never thought about before so we promptly ordered one from Amazon and we are delighted. Ours is made by Fancii and is rechargeable using a USB cable and it's great. So good that we think it will reside in our en-suite bathroom at home so we need to order another one. Although we have caravanned for over 25 years, touring extensively in the UK as well as France and Spain, we really enjoy your informative videos and site reviews. Thank you very much. Keep up the good work. Stuart & Carol.
Many thanks for your kind words Stuart & Carol, we’re delighted you’re enjoying our videos & recommendations. Sending our best wishes to you both, Keith & Michele.
Hi Michelle and Keith - great video and some lovely stuff. The collapsible crates are an amazing idea, I’ve ordered a couple for our van - thanks for the tips xx
We recently bought a new caravan, when we transfed all the stuff over to the new caravan we were amazed at how much stuff we accumulated. Subbed Best wishes Jon and Karen
Thanks Jon & Karen, it’s incredible the amount of personal items we collect! I guess that’s what makes it a home from home 😀 Enjoy your new caravan, happy travels. Michele & Keith x
Just came across your video and found it very helpful! We have just bought our first caravan, really looking forward to our first trip. Do you need a low wattage kettle and toaster? Some people say yes and others say not 😊
Hi Loopylou,Many thanks for watching & huge congratulations on your first caravan, we’re delighted you found our video helpful. The maximum amps on campsites is usually 16 but can be as low as 6. With this in mind it’s advisable to get a low wattage toaster & kettle, we however haven’t, we just make sure that nothing else is running when in use ie hairdryer, outdoor heater etc. Hope this helps, best wishes Keith & Michele.
Morning Michele and Keith I'm very please for u both that u finely getting up and running again your van looks very homely Michele u look really happy in your self now everything coming together now won't b long before u off in your caravan .kev
Thanks Kev, both Keith & I are so happy that the entire ordeal is behind us now & we're really looking forward to our first trip in the next few weeks! Michele.
Hello Guys, Loving your kettle - don't want to spoil it for you, however, if you plan to travel abroad lots of the sites only have four or six amps electric hook up. Your kettle at 2,200 watts needs 10 amps and with a supply of four or six amps (at 220 volts) you will trip the site electric hook up. We use an 800 watt travel kettle which will be a little slower than yours to boil but we will not upset the site owner when the supply trips. Enjoy your new 'van especially after the trauma of the theft of your other one. We have been camping/caravanning for 40 years (oops showing our age) and love every minute. Off to the Cotswolds for a week and planning a longer trip to Croatia in May/June. Good luck.
Hi William, thanks for that, we travelled to France many times last year to various sites & luckily didn’t encounter any problems. We usually check the site amps available before we book just to be sure. Our new caravan has an AC limiter which will stop the site bollard from tripping 👍🏻 Happy travels to the Cotswolds (on our list 😀) & Croatia. That sounds amazing! Let us know how you get on. Thanks again, Michele & Keith x
Hi I would be interested to know your payload ? We keep a hymer nova well stocked in a similar way to yourselves. It has a 300kg payload. However we are changing vans soon. Most Uk vans have a really small payload . Are you aware of how much you weigh fully stocked, would love to know.
Hi Joanna, Our Mass in Running Order (MRO) is 1516kg, our Maximum Technical Permissible Laden Mass (MTPLM) is 1681kg, giving us a payload of 165kg. We can upgrade our plate to 2000kg giving us a payload of 484kg, which is something we’ll probably do in the future. We tend to carry as much as possible in the car when towing as there’s only the two of us. Hope this helps, good luck with everything, sending our best wishes, Keith & Michele.
Hi James, We purchased our crates from Amazon, here's the link amzn.to/2GOSSTQ The anti slipping matting can also be purchased on Amazon amzn.to/2upRUto but it can also be purchased in stores such as B and M or the Pound Shop in the UK. Hope this helps, Keith & Michele.
Fantastic video. We are at the very beginning of our Caravanning life. Loving the homely touches Michelle. Quick question- do you pack all of these back up again when your on the move.
Hi Emma, Everything has to be packed securely for when you’re towing to stop things rolling around or getting broken. Everyone has different methods on storing items, we personally pack away all crockery, glassware & bathroom toiletries. Good luck with your adventures, if you have any queries feel free to email us info@carefreecaravanning.co.uk Sending our best wishes, Keith & Michele.
Carefree Caravanning thank you so much for your reply- I much appreciate it! We are a young family starting out and love watching you videos- thank you for making them! X
That's the one I want Martin! hoping to get one at the NEC in a couple of weeks time ....at a show offer price. If I do I'll be requesting everyone's recipes. Keith
Hi Oliver, Keith is watching your video now & he’ll comment shortly. The storage unit comes flat packed & is easily assembled, no screws involved. It has a plastic frame & metal tubing that all slots together. It’s not really collapsible as such but could easily be dismantled at the end of a trip. When we pack up we leave it erected & just put it in between the front sofas on the rug. It’s really lightweight with 5 shelves & pockets on the sides, two front zips so you can just hide everything away. It’s from B & M, called Spaceways Canvas Storage Unit & only £9.99 which is a great price in comparison to the branded equivalents. Hope this helps, Michele x

Does anybody know who would provide insurance cover if you travel for a year in your caravan?
Hello both, have you tried the Corelle plates and bowels? It looks similar to yours and we’re very pleased with them 👍😁
Hi Robin, Haven’t heard of Corelle, will have to have a little look 👍🏻 Thanks for watching, Keith & Michele
Oops, sorry about the typo, should be bowls! 😂😂

Hope you managed to find room for everything Michele. Caravan looks very homely. 👍👍
Thanks Martin, managed to find a place for everything! Except possibly Keith......may put him in the awning with his Cadac that he wants to get 😆
Cadac is a must for Keith, we have the Carri chef 2, it’s awesome 👍
That's the one I want Martin! hoping to get one at the NEC in a couple of weeks time ....at a show offer price. If I do I'll be requesting everyone's recipes. Keith
We have the Grillogas which is ample for 3! Look at my channel for a review!
Hi Guys! The awning unit is it collapsible? As we are looking for our new van! You may have seen my earlier comment about the cadac. Cheers Oliver

Absolutely! Looking forward to it! Keith is desperate to get his Cadac 😀 We’ll be there on Friday & Saturday, hopefully see you there x
What a shame we are their Tuesday to do press stuff...
Hi is the kettle 12 volt and where did you get it from. Thanks P&J
Hi Lost Weekends, the kettle is a standard 230v. We purchased this from Amazon, a little pricey at £44.49 but Michele loves it! Model: DUALIT 72200
Carefree Caravanning Thanks will have to have a look.
I have re
