Kitting out a caravan or motorhome can get expensive fast, but not every bit of kit needs to be top-of-the-range. There are some genuinely useful accessories where a simple, budget-friendly option works perfectly well.
This guide highlights cheap caravanning essentials for 2026 that earn their place on board without draining your touring budget. They focus on everyday convenience, safety and cleanliness rather than flashy extras.
Every product here is one of the most affordable options in its class at Go Outdoors, but still makes sense for real-world trips. There are compromises at this price, yet each item offers solid value if you know what you’re getting.
These recommendations are chosen with caravanners and motorhome owners in mind, not just spreadsheet prices. We look first at what an accessory actually does on the road: whether it makes arrival, set-up or day-to-day living that bit smoother.
We weigh up price against the features on offer and how well similar products tend to hold up in regular use. Rather than chasing the absolute rock-bottom cost, we favour simple, robust designs from known outdoor and automotive brands where possible, so you are less likely to regret the saving.
The result is a shortlist of cheap accessories that feel like sensible purchases, not false economies, helping you stretch your budget further for site fees and fuel.
We started by scanning the lower end of the caravanning range at Go Outdoors, focusing on accessories that come in around the £10 mark. From there, we filtered for items that serve a clear purpose on typical UK touring trips, rather than gimmicks that will end up in a locker and never see daylight.
Within each type of accessory, we favoured simple designs over complicated mechanisms, as these tend to be more reliable when you are buying at the cheaper end of the market. Where feedback and specs were available, we looked for products that balance affordability with sensible build quality and ease of use.
We also aimed to cover a mix of needs: safe parking and levelling, easy access, in-car navigation and keeping your outfit clean and maintained. That way, whether you are equipping your first caravan or topping up a seasoned set-up, you will find low-cost options that genuinely add value to your travels.
Below you will find some of the best value caravanning accessories available for around £10. They are not flashy, but they solve everyday problems on the road and at the campsite.
Some are simple essentials that every outfit should carry, while others are small upgrades that make life on tour more comfortable and organised for very little outlay.
A simple, low-cost vent-mounted phone holder that keeps your smartphone secure and visible for navigation on the way to the campsite.
For around a tenner, the Scosche Universal Smartphone Vent Mount solves one of the biggest in-car headaches: where to put your phone for navigation. Mounting to a vent keeps your screen in easy reach without blocking the windscreen or needing sticky pads. The universal design means it will work with most smartphones, so you do not have to change holder every time you upgrade your handset. It is also small enough to move between vehicles, handy if you tow with more than one car. As a cheap upgrade, it adds a lot of day-to-day convenience to your journeys.
As a budget vent mount, it will not feel as solid or premium as more expensive, brand-specific holders. Vent mounts can be less stable on very rough roads and may not suit all vent designs equally well. If you have a particularly heavy or large phone, you may prefer a more robust dashboard or windscreen mount, even if it costs a little more.
Ideal for caravanners and motorhome owners who rely on their smartphone for sat nav and want a safer, more convenient way to keep it visible. It suits drivers on a tight budget who still value a neat, removable solution over balancing a phone in the cup holder. If you regularly swap between vehicles, its universal clamp-style design makes it especially appealing.
An affordable pair of wedge chocks to help stabilise and level your caravan or trailer without splashing out on a full levelling system.
The Hi-Gear Wedge Chock Level Pair gives you a simple way to stabilise and fine-tune the level of your caravan or trailer without investing in more expensive levelling ramps. As a pair, they allow you to chock both wheels or use them where you need them most, adding a bit of extra security once you are pitched. Their wedge shape makes them easy to position, and at this price you can afford to keep them in the boot all year round. For occasional touring or lighter outfits, they represent strong value as a basic but useful levelling aid.
Being a simple wedge-style solution, these chocks will not give you the precision levelling or load capacity of more advanced ramp systems. They may not be ideal for very heavy caravans or motorhomes on soft ground, where more substantial kit is sensible. You will still need to take a bit of time and care to position them correctly for best effect.
Best for casual tourers or those taking their first steps into caravanning who need basic chocks without investing heavily in levelling gear. It suits smaller caravans, trailers and lighter outfits that are mostly used on firm pitches. If you want a low-cost way to steady the van and tweak the level a touch, this pair is a sensible starting point.
A wallet-friendly mat for Fiamma Magnum steps, adding grip and helping keep mud outside your caravan or motorhome.
The Fiamma Magnum Step Mat is an inexpensive way to improve both safety and cleanliness at your caravan or motorhome door. It is designed to work with the popular Magnum step, adding a more grippy surface underfoot, particularly helpful in wet weather. By brushing off mud and grit before you step inside, it also helps protect your interior flooring and makes cleaning up at the end of a trip much easier. Given how cheap it is, the comfort and cleanliness benefits feel like an easy win for regular tourers.
This mat is tailored to the Fiamma Magnum step, so it is not a universal fit for every step on the market. If your step is a different size or brand, it may not attach properly. As a relatively thin accessory, it will not transform a poor-quality step into something vastly more stable; you still need a decent underlying step to begin with.
Perfect for owners of Fiamma Magnum steps who want a cheap but effective way to improve grip and cut down on dirt being tracked inside. It is a good choice if you use your caravan or motorhome year-round and often deal with wet grass or muddy pitches. Anyone trying to keep a light-coloured interior cleaner for longer will appreciate the small but noticeable difference.
A straightforward double foot pump that lets you top up car, caravan or trailer tyres without relying on mains power or a bulky compressor.
The Streetwize Double Footpump is a classic bit of kit that earns its space in the car boot. With a double-barrel design, it moves more air with each press than a single pump, making it quicker to top up tyres on your car, caravan or trailer. Because it is completely manual, there is nothing to charge or plug in, which is reassuring on remote trips or when you are already drawing heavily on your 12V system. At this price, it is an affordable back-up even if you usually rely on a powered compressor. It can also tackle other inflatables around camp, such as airbeds and certain inflatable furniture, within reason.
A manual pump inevitably demands a bit of effort and patience, especially if you are inflating from very low pressures. It is slower than a good quality 12V compressor, which heavy users may find frustrating. At this low price point the gauges on such pumps can also be less precise than those on premium tyre inflators, so it is worth double-checking pressures with a separate gauge if accuracy is important.
A solid pick for budget-conscious caravanners who want the reassurance of being able to top up tyres anywhere, without depending on a service station or campsite compressor. It suits drivers who do not mind a bit of manual effort in exchange for a simple, reliable tool that does not need charging. It is also handy as a back-up pump for families with bikes and inflatables on board.
A compact 12V wet and dry vacuum that plugs into your vehicle, ideal for quick clean-ups in the car, caravan or motorhome on a budget.
The Streetwize 12V Wet and Dry Car Vacuum offers a lot of versatility for a modest outlay. Plugging straight into a 12V socket, it is ready to go in the car, caravan or motorhome without hunting for mains hook-up. The wet and dry function is particularly handy on tour, letting you pick up crumbs, sand and pet hair as well as small spills or damp doormats. Its compact size makes it easy to store in a locker or under a seat, so you are more likely to actually use it. For light, regular tidy-ups between deeper cleans at home, it represents good value.
Being a cheap 12V unit, it will not match the suction power of a mains vacuum, so you will need to go slowly and accept it is best for light mess rather than deep cleaning. Relying on a vehicle socket means you need your car or leisure battery in good condition. The small size also means a smaller dust and water capacity, so it will need emptying more often on big clean-ups.
Well suited to families, pet owners and anyone who tends to bring sand, crumbs and mud back into the car or van after a day out. It is ideal if you like to keep on top of mess during a trip without waiting until you are home with a full-size vacuum. For caravanners on a budget who still care about a tidy interior, it is an easy, space-saving upgrade.
