Before You Go Winter Caravanning
-
Caravan Inventory

Clothing
Winters can be brutal in Australia. Always carry a thin thermal base layer, a lightweight jumper for insulation from cold, and a weatherproof winter jacket. You can also invest in pairs of warm gloves and a beanie. Make sure you’re well prepped for the cool winds.
