If you love clever caravan gear, you might also enjoy exploring our full range of Caravanning & Camping Essentials, including our Australian Made Slide n’ Dry Pegless Clotheslines, practical travel gear and unique caravan gifts loved by travellers across Australia.
There is something truly special about life on the road.
Heading off in the caravan, slowing down the pace of life, creating memories with the kids and exploring this incredible country we call home. Some of our favourite memories as a family have been made travelling Australia in our caravan.
Through our sister business, Caravanning with Kids, we have been lucky enough to explore this beautiful country from top to bottom. From big adventures heading north to Cape York to relaxing weekends beside the Murray River near our home town of Numurkah, our caravan has become our little home on wheels.
And like any home, there are two spaces that always get the most action.
The kitchen and the laundry.
Over the years we have learnt that the right gear makes caravan life so much easier. Smart products that save space, reduce waste and actually work on the road quickly become essentials.
That is one of the reasons Adventure Awaits is filled with clever caravanning and camping gear. Our team, our customers and our travelling community are always sharing the products they love most while travelling Australia, and many of those tried and tested favourites end up in our store.
Today we are sharing some of our absolute favourites - eco friendly and space saving caravan products that we use every time we travel.
These products focus on two areas every traveller deals with daily:
If you are looking for practical caravan gear that saves space and works brilliantly on the road, these are the ones we recommend again and again.
Why Eco Friendly & Space Saving Caravan Products Matter
Anyone who has spent time living in a caravan quickly realises two things.
First, space is limited.
Second, waste adds up quickly when travelling.
Using clever, reusable products helps solve both of these problems.
Eco friendly caravan products can help you:
• Reduce rubbish while travelling • Save precious storage space • Avoid bulky packaging and bottles • Simplify your caravan setup • Travel lighter and smarter
Many of the products we now use regularly in our caravan replaced items like plastic bottles, disposable wipes, cling wrap and bulky kitchen gadgets.
The difference they make on the road is huge.
Caravan Laundry Essentials | The Best Laundry Solutions for Travelling Australia
Laundry on the road can be one of the trickiest parts of caravan travel.
Sometimes you have access to caravan park laundries. Other times you are washing clothes in a bucket or small caravan washing machine.
Over the years we have found a few brilliant caravan laundry products that make life on the road much easier.
Our Slide n' Dry Pegless Clotheslines have become one of the most loved products in the caravanning community.
They were designed right here in regional Victoria and are proudly Australian Made.
These clever clotheslines are compact, lightweight and incredibly strong. Instead of using pegs, your clothes slide into the clips along the line. This makes hanging washing faster, easier and much more secure - even on windy days.
Some of the reasons caravanners love Slide n' Dry include:
• No pegs required • Lightweight and compact • Strong enough for wet jeans and jackets • Perfect for caravan awnings • Easy to move indoors if it rains
When we travel we usually hang ours under the caravan awning, but if the weather turns it can easily be moved inside the van.
For travellers searching for a space saving caravan clothesline, this is one of the most practical solutions we have ever used.
It is also one of our proudest Australian Made products, used by thousands of travelling families across Australia.
Traditional laundry detergents are not caravan friendly.
Bulky bottles take up valuable cupboard space and leaks can quickly create a sticky mess inside the van.
That is why we love Dreambly Washing Sheets.
These innovative laundry sheets are lightweight, compact and biodegradable. Each sheet dissolves in water and cleans just as effectively as liquid detergent.
For caravan washing machines you only need half a sheet per load, which means one pack lasts a surprisingly long time.
They are also incredibly versatile.
We regularly use Dreambly sheets for:
• Washing clothes in caravan washing machines • Hand washing clothes while travelling • Removing stains • General caravan cleaning
One of our favourite tricks is dissolving half a sheet in warm water and using it as an all purpose caravan cleaner.
No bulky bottles, no spills and no wasted space.
For travellers looking for eco friendly caravan laundry solutions, these are an absolute game changer.
Sometimes you are travelling somewhere remote where there are no laundries nearby.
That is where the Scrubba Wash Bag becomes incredibly handy.
This compact bag allows you to wash clothes anywhere. Simply add water, detergent and your clothes, then rub the internal washboard surface to clean them.
If you are still using disposable wipes or chux cloths in your caravan kitchen, it might be time to upgrade.
We absolutely love Retro Kitchen Dish Cloths.
These compostable cloths are soft, highly absorbent and machine washable. Instead of throwing wipes away every week, these cloths can last anywhere from six to twelve months with regular use.
We use ours daily for:
• Washing dishes • Cleaning the sink area • Wiping benches • General kitchen cleaning
They are an easy way to create a more eco friendly caravan kitchen while reducing waste.
Another favourite in our caravan kitchen are collapsible food containers.
These containers can be expanded when needed or folded flat when empty.
We often use ours flat for storing cold meats or cheese, then expand them when we need extra storage space.
They are incredibly handy for anyone wanting clever caravan kitchen storage solutions.

The tea towel was exactly what I expected.
Although the UV Australian map disappointed me it hasn’t got a good detail of all the roads in Australia.
Thanks so much for your review, and we’re glad you loved the tea towel. 😊
Our Map of Australia Sticker is actually designed with selected major roads rather than every road in Australia. Because the map is made to be written on and marked with a Sharpie as you travel, too much road detail can very quickly turn it into a black, cluttered mess once your own journeys are added.
We completely understand that you were hoping for more road detail though, and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. 💛
My boys love playing uno so I just had to get them this new version. They haven’t stopped playing it since it arrived. Thank you so much for the quick postage.
Hi Haley, we're so glad your boys are loving the new UNO game! Thanks for sharing your kind words and for shopping with us. Enjoy the game time!
I have the Rosella and it smells amazing. Will be buying more for Christmas presents for my sisters.
Hi Haley, we're thrilled to hear you love the Rosella scent! Thank you for choosing Adventure Awaits for your Christmas gifts. We appreciate your support and look forward to serving you again!
