1.  höfats Cube Fire Basket

Bring warmth to evenings by your campervan with this multipurpose fire basket. Add the grill grid to use it as a barbecue, and when the flames go out, simply turn it upside down — the ashes will get stored in its inner tray without spilling. It also comes with a fitted wooden board, so it can be used as a stool or table, too. £379.

2. Jackery Explorer 300 Plus Portable Power Station And Solar Saga Panels

Weighing just over 3.5kg but still durable for outdoor use, this portable power station can charge up to four devices at once. Power it up through the AC adaptor in two hours, via solar panels in four or using the vehicle adaptor in five and a half. £319.

3. Outwell Skyros Organisation Unit

Keep your campervan tidy with this four-shelf cupboard unit. Holding up to 30kg, it has an aluminium frame, a laminated top, a zippable door and mesh for ventilation, plus side pockets. It’s straightforward to assemble and comes with a bag so you can tuck it away when not in use. £119.99.

4. Beachbum Brobe

From days by the sea to evenings around the fire, stay warm and dry outdoors with this robe made entirely from recycled materials. The thick fleece lining provides immediate warmth while the nylon outer layer is designed to be 100% water- and windproof. The oversized fit also means you can change underneath. £130.

5. RidgeMonkey Connect Deep Pan and Griddle

This durable yet lightweight kitchen multitasker makes the most of limited space. A detachable hinge system converts one pan into a saucepan or a separate griddle pan, which can also act as a lid on the first, deeper pan. The cool-touch handles are removable to fit into cabinets. £31.99.

6. Stanley Quencher H2.0 Flowstate Tumbler

Made of 90% recycled stainless steel, this 1.2L tumbler is ideal for long road trips, keeping drinks cold for 11 hours, or 48 hours when iced, and hot for seven. It’s designed with a carry handle and narrow base to fit in most car cup holders, and the straw opening is constructed to prevent splashes. £44.99.

7. Duvalay Comfort Sleeping Bag

Cosier than a traditional sleeping bag, this two-in-one duvet and mattress topper will ensure a good night’s sleep no matter how cramped the space. The memory foam base adds comfort to a hard mattress, or you can use it on its own as a bed. It’s quick to roll up, with straps to secure it in place. £169.95.

8. Outdoor Revolution Capri Table and Stools

Great for al fresco dining while you’re on the road, this set has stools that fold away into the table, which then folds into itself for transport and storage. Made from durable aluminium to withstand the weather, the table surface is heat-resistant. £79.99.
