First on your list should be an awning. If you don't already own one then it's worth considering as a purchase, particularly if you are looking to use your caravan all year round. A good awning gives you extra shade from the sun and shelter from the rain, as well as effectively doubling your living space. They can be used as an extension of your caravan for meals and relaxing, or simply as a spacious storage area for muddy boots and bicycles. Remember that if you intend on going away during winter months, when severe rain or wind could occur, then be careful about when you put up the awning as they are can be susceptible to storm damage. Also, check that your caravan insurance covers your awning and any damage it does to the caravan if there is a storm, as many companies exclude storm damage to awnings.Second on your list should be the barbecue, preferably a gas one which can be run from a spare gas bottle or your caravan's external BBQ connection point if one is fitted. Even during spring and autumn months, providing it isn't raining, a BBQ is a great way to cook as it means less mess inside the caravan and generally creates less washing up.Another useful thing...more

Here, leading rental company of motorhomes in Ireland (camping-cars Irlande) Celtic Campervans (http://www.celticcampervans.com/) gives the main reasons it believes autumn to be an ideal time to discover Ireland.Save moneyIt stands to reason that the cost of just about everything to do with a holiday costs more in high season: the good weather and long school summer holidays create the greatest demand.
