When planning a caravan holiday , most people think about what they need to take with them , the tourist attractions they want to visit , how much money they will need to spend , and generally just focus on having a great time .

But what about planning for emergencies ? What do you need to do to ensure you ’ re prepared for the worst ?

Let me tell you a story . It ’ s about friends of ours who were travelling down the west coast of Australia last year in their large motorhome . They had just left Carnarvon and were on their way to Geraldton when they stopped to refuel at a servo back out on the coastal highway . They had just pulled up at the fuel pump when there was a loud bang and the inside of the cabin started to fill with smoke .

Remote Australia is beautiful but you need to be prepared for the worst out here
