Heading off-grid in your caravan is one of life’s greatest freedoms—but only if you’re properly set up. Comfort, safety, and self-sufficiency all come down to having the right gear onboard. Whether you’re camping in national parks, free camping by the beach, or venturing deep into the outback, these are the best caravan accessories for off-grid camping that’ll make your trips easier, more enjoyable, and far more comfortable.
At All12volt, we’ve helped thousands of Aussie travellers upgrade their rigs for the wild, and we know what works. This guide covers our top recommendations to help you build the ultimate off-grid caravan experience.
Keeping your food fresh and drinks cold is essential when you’re miles from the nearest servo. A quality 12V fridge/freezer ensures you’re not relying on melting ice or dodgy old coolers.
We stock a range of portable fridges suited to caravans, all built tough for the Australian climate. Add a protective cover to boost efficiency and protect against knocks and scratches on rough tracks.
Tip: Dual-zone fridges are great for separating food and drinks—or running a freezer and fridge in one.
Your outdoor living space is just as important as your caravan interior. That’s where awnings, annexes, and walls come into play. A bag awning or full annex room gives you shelter from the sun, privacy, and protection from rain and wind.
Combine it with side walls, bed flys, and kitchen awnings for extra space and comfort. Perfect for families or anyone who likes to stretch out and make camp feel like home.
A solid 12V solar setup is a must-have for long-term camping away from powered sites. Fixed panels on your caravan roof paired with portable solar blankets or folding panels give you the flexibility to chase the sun and stay off-grid longer.
Pair with a Victron or Redarc MPPT regulator and a lithium battery bank for efficient energy capture and storage. You’ll be powering your lights, fridge, and devices for days—without needing to start the car.
If your caravan’s power system connects to your tow vehicle, a DC-DC charger ensures safe and proper charging while driving. It prevents damage from mismatched voltages and delivers the correct charge profile for your auxiliary battery—especially critical with lithium batteries.
Look for models that support dual inputs so you can charge from both your alternator and solar at the same time. We recommend Victron and Redarc units for Aussie conditions.
Nothing ruins a trip like blown fuses, bad wiring, or a complete power outage. At All12volt, we offer pre-made wiring kits that simplify installs and reduce the risk of electrical failure.
They’re built using quality cabling, correctly sized fuses, and weather-resistant components—perfect for DIY installs or professional upgrades.
⚡ Don’t forget to carry spares like fuses, lugs, and a multimeter in your kit.
When you’re camped up in remote areas, having security accessories like door locks, hitch locks, and motion-detection lights adds peace of mind. They’re easy to install and protect both your belongings and your family while you’re away from the van or sleeping overnight.
Don’t forget lighting! Swap out old halogens for energy-efficient LED lights, perfect for interiors, awnings, and walkways. We also stock accessories like USB chargers, fans, and Bluetooth power monitors to take your comfort to the next level.
The right accessories don’t just add convenience—they give you the power to travel further, stay longer, and enjoy the wild with confidence. Whether you’re upgrading a new van or improving an old setup, All12volt has everything you need.
