It’ll run your induction hob, fire up the caravan microwave, charge phones and laptops, help you stay connected via Starlink or cellular, or even power an EcoFlow Wave 3 heater/air-conditioner.
You can recharge it via mains power, EV charging stations, an EcoFlow Alternator Charger, or with caravan solar panels: everything you need to know (fixed or portable).
Avtex 12v TV with Freely
Those looking for the best caravan TV could be interested to hear about Avtex’s new 12V SmartPRO TV range, which is currently the only one with built-in Freely.
Designed for life on the road, Freely gives you instant, free access to live and on-demand TV from BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5, via Wi-Fi – no aerial or dish required.
Of course, you can also log into your home streaming services, like Netflix and Amazon. When you’re caravanning off-grid or out of signal, you can still use its integrated DVB-T2 and DVB-S2 tuners for traditional terrestrial or satellite viewing.
The SmartPRO runs on 12V or 240V power, with an intelligent power supply and an on-screen battery monitor to protect your leisure battery. There’s also one-button auto-tuning, USB recording, Bluetooth, and app or voice control.
Slim, light and frameless, it mounts neatly and stylishly in even the most compact van. In short, this TV brings effortless, high-quality entertainment wherever your adventure takes you.

Vango Dynamic Weave Fabric
Vango’s innovative, new Dynamic Weave 100 fabric is a clever material, designed to combine strength and light weight perfectly. These qualities make it ideal for awnings and tents for ‘weekend warriors’, and those taking extended caravan or motorhome breaks.
Dynamic Weave uses a cross-hatch of 70D and 100D fibres, which gives it a brilliant strength-to-weight ratio, meaning it’s strong enough to handle rough weather yet light enough to pack and transport easily.
Compared with standard tent fabrics, Dynamic Weave is up to 23% stronger and 13% more tear-resistant, so it’ll shrug off those gusty nights and the odd guy-rope trip! It’s also impressively UV-resistant – four times better than the BSI minimum – and offers waterproof protection up to 4000mm.
The result is a fabric that lasts longer, looks better and performs beautifully in all conditions.
Price: £270 for the Vango Palma 260 awning
Isabella Compressor Coolbox
Heading off for a weekend escape, road trip or camping adventure? This tough, 40-litre compressor cool box is your ideal travel mate. It chills food and drinks quickly and quietly (≤38 dB), keeping everything refreshingly cool wherever you go.
The adjustable temperature range from -20 °C to +20 °C means you can freeze or refrigerate as needed, while Eco and Max modes balance efficiency and speed. Power it via 12/24V in your car or 230V at home – both cables are supplied. With three levels of battery protection, your vehicle’s power stays safe, while an automatic child lock prevents accidental adjustments. A handy divider creates two compartments, and you can manage everything via the clear display or the Tuya Smart Life smartphone app.

Roamer Lithium Leisure Batteries
The best caravan leisure battery is a real touring essential, and if you’re looking for one, Roamer’s new LiFePO₄ lithium leisure batteries may have caught your eye at the show. They raise the bar for off-grid power in the UK. Its SMART5 range is built around Grade A+ matched cells, offering high energy density, compact design and full 100% usable capacity.
A 300A continuous Battery Management System (BMS) with active cell balancing, surge protection, low-temperature charging and Bluetooth/CANbus monitoring, keeps each pack safe and optimised.
Roamer’s modular, serviceable construction, with steel brackets, screw-fastened cases and replaceable internals, means you can repair or upgrade parts in the field.
These batteries are ‘drop-in’ upgrades: compatible with existing charger setups (Sargent and CBE, etc.) so, you don’t need a full rewiring.
The batteries are also backed by a 12-year warranty, full UK support, and certification (including ECE R-10) for caravan use. In short, Roamer delivers powerful, smart, repairable and safe lithium batteries, that let you take your home comforts off-grid without compromise.
