Caravan crockery is one of the most essential accessories to get right when you’re kitting out your tourer. After all, you’ll need a durable product, one that you can rely on not breaking when you’re on the road. That’s where choosing the best caravan crockery comes in.
One of the most popular crockery types with caravanners is melamine – it’s virtually unbreakable and chip-resistant, two big plus points when you’re on tour. After all, when you’re inside your tourer, the last thing you want to be doing is picking up bits of a broken plate.
Unlike household plates and bowls, the best caravan crockery will also weigh significantly less, something which is especially significant when you have a low payload and every kilogram matters.
Then, there’s the less crucial but still important factor of aesthetics. We all know presentation makes a big difference to the overall enjoyment of a meal, and the best caravan crockery sets can really enhance this area of the dining experience.
To help you find the right crockery for your caravan, we’re sharing our pick of the standout options on the market, featuring products from Flamefield, Kampa and more.
