Must-Have Accessories for Your Autumn/Winter Campervan Adventure

As the days grow shorter and the temperatures drop, the idea of a campervan adventure might seem more like a chilly challenge than a cosy getaway. But with the right gear and a well-prepared campervan, autumn and winter travels can be just as magical—if not more so—than the sunny summer months.

To help you make the most of your off-season campervan adventures, we’ve put together a list of must-have accessories that will keep you warm, safe, and comfortable on the road. Plus, we’ll show you how our campervan conversions are designed to support these essentials for a stress-free trip!

Insulated Blankets & Sleeping Bags

Nothing beats the feeling of wrapping up in a cosy, insulated blanket after a day of exploring the great outdoors. High-quality thermal blankets and sleeping bags are essential for staying warm during the colder months. Look for materials like fleece or down that offer excellent insulation without being too bulky.  Brands like dryrobe are tried and tested for the great outdoors and they have a great range of accessories including matching covers for your van seats on their website.

Our campervan conversions include well-insulated interiors, designed to retain warmth even when the temperature drops outside. With ample storage space, you can easily stow away extra blankets or bedding without compromising on living space.

Portable Heaters

A portable heater is a game-changer for autumn and winter campervanning. Whether you’re parked at a campsite with electric hook-up or going off-grid, there are plenty of options, from electric fan heaters to gas-powered models, to keep your campervan toasty warm.

Our conversions are equipped with built-in Wallas diesel powered hob & heater that can efficiently warm the space, even in the coldest conditions with no need to carry additional portable heaters or fuel.

Thermal Window Covers

Thermal window covers are essential for keeping the cold air out and the warmth in. These specially designed covers can reduce heat loss through windows and windshields while also blocking out light for a better night’s sleep.

Our campervan conversion windows are all fitted as standard with blinds for privacy and protection for those cold winter nights.

LED Lanterns & Headlamps

With fewer daylight hours, good lighting becomes even more important on your autumn or winter adventures. LED lanterns, headlamps, and portable string lights are perfect for illuminating your campsite or providing extra light in the van.

Our campervan conversions feature built-in LED lighting throughout the interior, but it’s always handy to have additional portable lighting for exploring in the dark, or setting up your campsite in the Autumn or Winter evenings.

Heavy-Duty Floor Mats

With autumn’s fallen leaves, mud, and rain, or winter’s snow and slush, your campervan floor can get messy fast. Heavy-duty floor mats help keep the interior clean by trapping dirt, moisture, and debris.

Our custom campervan conversions include easy-to-clean flooring materials that can withstand heavy wear and tear. Add some heavy-duty mats at the entrance, and you’ll keep your living space tidy no matter the weather outside.

Portable Cooking Equipment

Nothing warms you up quite like a hot meal after a chilly day outdoors. A portable stove or cooking equipment is essential for off-grid campers or those who want to cook outside by the fire.

Our conversions come equipped with spacious built-in kitchens, but we also leave plenty of room for portable cooking gear and outdoor grills, allowing you to cook wherever you feel most comfortable. Even with the convenience of the Wallas diesel powered hob, nothing quite matches toasting a marshmallow over an open campfire under a starlit sky.

Waterproof Clothing & Boots

Wet weather can be a constant companion in the UK during autumn and winter, so having the right clothing is crucial. Waterproof jackets, trousers, and boots will keep you dry and comfortable on your outdoor adventures.

Our conversions include generous storage options, so you’ll have space for all your seasonal gear. From overhead cabinets to under-seat compartments, there’s plenty of room to stash your waterproofs and extra layers.

Snow Chains

If you’re venturing to high-altitude or snow-covered areas, snow chains can give you added traction and control on icy roads. They’re easy to fit onto your campervan’s tires and can be a lifesaver in harsh winter conditions.

Our campervans are built with off-road capability in mind, and we offer advice and fitting services for snow chains or any other specialised winter gear to make sure you’re prepared for the road ahead.

Autumn and winter campervanning can be an unforgettable experience if you’re equipped with the right accessories and a well-designed campervan. At Ventura campervans, our campervan conversions are built to ensure year-round comfort, with insulation, heating, and smart design features that support all your gear and adventures, no matter the season.
