Camping accessories at Caravan Stockholm 2019
It's the same discussion at every motorhome and caravan show. They want to see more accessories! You can't buy a new motorhome every year, but it's fun to find new crockery, a new guidebook or a new GPS. So, what camping accessories can you find at Caravan Stockholm 2019? We've made a few rounds of the show and report on some of the accessories you can find.
Protection from sun and cold
At RV Masters Comfort Solskydd AB we found convenient sun protection for the motorhome. The sunscreens snap on easily with magnets and remain in place even in windy conditions. The covers are available in different designs to suit different motorhome models, and prices vary depending on the motorhome model. A price example for a package (front window, two side windows and windscreen wipers) is SEK 5600 for an alcove/semi-integrated motorhome and SEK 7050 for a fully integrated motorhome. Protection against cold is also included.
Cosy in the motorhome
If you want a warm and soft floor, you can order moulded and edged rugs from Mattjätten in Linköping.
If you also want a warm and soft seat, you can order a cover for your campervan seats from Ullbadden.se.
Sustainable tableware
Why buy melamine tableware when you can buy bamboo tableware? We have melamine crockery ourselves, but now that bamboo crockery is available, we would love to go for it. Bamboo crockery is environmentally friendly, just as light and not more expensive. A smart camping accessory! The bamboo tableware in the picture comes from Campout.se and costs SEK 349 for 16 pieces, for four people.
Maybe new outdoor furniture?
We asked a salesperson at Campout what camping accessories are most in demand, and he told us that both electric bikes and outdoor furniture are popular right now. In the picture below, you can see some of the outdoor furniture from Campout. In the top image of the post, you can see new furniture from the same company that can fit in the awning. Each stool is also a drawer for storage - and it also folds up.
LPG safety in the motorhome
Another innovation from Campout is the "GasStop", which attaches to the LPG tube. This little gadget includes a gas meter, and also indicates if there is a small gas leak. If there is a leak, the gas supply is also shut off.
Cheaper toilet cleaning
Campout also presented new cleaning products for the toilet. According to the vendor, this brand has recently been adopted by Campout, and one of its advantages is that it is significantly cheaper than other classic brands.
Garden for the dog
If you have a dog, the company Husbilshund.se will be on site with, among other things, a canvas kennel for the dog. If you want to give the dog more space, two paddocks can be connected to each other.
Electric bikes from Holland
A bunch of Dutch guys from the company e-4motion are there with several different models of electric bikes. Several of the bikes can be folded, and one of them (the one in the picture) also has a smart rubber chain that does not get oily. The bikes may soon have a Swedish dealer, but in the meantime they can be purchased from the website e-4motion.com without shipping costs. The price for this model is about SEK 16,000, and there are other models at a lower price.
Destinations
The Destination Square at the Caravan Stockholm fair is a fun idea that has great potential for development. This year we are here together with some different camping companies and destinations such as Vildmarksvägen and Eckerölinjen/Åland. Here we talked to Marie, who advised us to take the ferry from Grisslehamn to Eckerö and then enjoy Åland's 12 campsites. We would love to do that on occasion!
Vanlife podcasts
This year, Carl and Isabel from the podcast Vanlife Sweden will also be at Destinationstorget. We have not had time to listen to the podcast, but we have talked a lot with nice and happy Carl and Isabel. Check out the podcast if you live or dream of living vanlife!

Bamboo on slippery ice, maybe it could be something. Åland sounds fun, have you been to Bornholm? A bit far from the west coast to the fair. Hope to see you on the road somewhere.

No we have not been to Bornholm unfortunately, but have heard that it should be very nice! Hope to see you on the roads! 🙂

Great tips on new accessories. Sometimes you really need to innovate!

Always fun with something new! 🙂

Role o Carina says:
No we have never visited that fair yet actually!
And imagine how many gadgets there are!
Take care......

Helena says:
Yes, there are always gadgets ?

Ama de casa says:
What a cute little tableware! Did not sound so cruelly expensive either, it usually can cost the shirt to buy unopened glasses / dishes for camping and / or boats.
We have travelled over to Åland with Eckerölinjen a few times, but then we have rented a cottage on the island. As cosy and nice as possible 🙂

Helena says:
We recognise that accessories for motorhomes and boats can sometimes be expensive? Glad you had a good time in Åland! ?

Maria/ Magnolia Magis says:
Maybe bamboo dishes would be something! We have ordinary crockery... It is dangerous for the wallet to check accessories!
17 February 2019 - 10:50
Helena says:
Plain crockery is fine, but don't you think it clangs? Heavy?
17 February 2019 - 12:07
Maria/ Magnolia Magis says:
We don't have a full set of crockery, but it's enough to get us through the day...? This is our home so why have it worse than the house? Clinking? When we move it is packed in cardboard boxes. Otherwise no. Heavy? Maybe so, but when we move, that box is in the Defender. And the husband has developed wrist muscles from walking with the dishpan every day...?
17 February 2019 - 23:57
Helena says:
I understand! Thought maybe mostly that it would be a lot of weight when you have a whole tableware, but if you do not have a large tableware, it is certainly fine 🙂 And no, why have it worse? 🙂

Britt-Marie Lundgren says:
Every time we've been to Elmia, for example, we come home with various bits and pieces that we had no idea we needed. The accessory departments are really fun.
Åland is also a destination that attracts us!

Helena says:
It's easy for something to slip through the cracks ... 😉.

Reiselinda says:
Strange how many things there are that you did not know you needed and that you suddenly own after a fair... This time we held on to our wallets and managed without a single purchase! A little half on the lookout for electric bikes though, but would like to have more load weight in the motorhome first ...
17 February 2019 - 18:27
Helena says:
We are also holding our wallet right now, but otherwise it would have been easy to bring something with us 🙂 .

Anna / boihusbil.se says:
What a great price on the bamboo visor, the ones I have seen before have been expensive. We have a summer cover from rvmasters and are very happy.

Helena says:
Glad you are happy with the summer cover from rvmasters! We had a long nice chat with them 🙂 ðŸ™'

JoY says:
When you show a picture of the service in bamboo, it would have been nice to buy. But if you are not there yourself, then nothing is bought hihihi Yes, I got a pair of woollen slippers that I had wanted.

Not bad with a pair of woollen slippers! Did you find anything at the other fair?
18 February 2019 - 20:48
Cari says:
Thanks for the tips on destinations.
Vildmarksvägen is now on the list - must be seen/visited.
Let's see if we rent a motorhome for this adventure?

Wishing pleasant journeys! 🙂

Gadgets are always fun to look at. The bamboo vase seems to be right on time!

Marina Åström says:
We are on our first motorhome trip in Spain & Portugal.
Found at Coop & Clas Ohlson bamboo plates & mugs.
We are very happy with the purchase.
What we are looking for now is sunbeds that are lightweight.
