Your camping packing list isn't complete without these gadgets
Are you going camping for the first time or are you a real camping enthusiast? Are you going for basic or something more luxurious? A camping vacation starts with making the right preparations. Draw up a camping packing list. In this blog you will find some camping gadgets that should not be missed.
Good preparation is half the battle. Therefore, it is important to read up on yourself beforehand and look for devices that are suitable for camping. To make it a little easier we give you some important tips and tricks and inspiration for the camping packing list. That way you won't overlook anything and you won't take too much with you. But which gadgets are really indispensable for a camping or outdoor vacation? And what is their maximum wattage? We would like to help you get started!
The ideal wattage of your camping gear
Nowadays you can get electricity at almost all campsites. Admittedly a limited number of amps, but the option is there. To find out how much power you can draw there is a simple formula: Amps x Voltage (230) = Watts. For example, if 10 amps are available, multiply this by 230 and you'll find out that you can draw a maximum of 2300 watts at your campsite. At the average camping spot, the available ampere is between 6 and 10. We advise you not to bring devices with a capacity higher than 2300 Watts. Even better: if you want to use several appliances at the same time, you have to be far below this level. So your luxury coffee machine should really stay at home!
The indispensable cup of coffee at the campsite
Not to worry. You certainly don't have to miss your cup of coffee at the campsite! This is because all Mestic devices are specially designed for travel. They are easy to use, functional and have a low wattage. Mestic's filter coffee makers are compact, weigh only 1-1.6 kg and have a power between 600W and 800W. You can even find an espresso machine with cups in our assortment. Do you prefer a cup of tea or another hot beverage? Then you can choose from a variety of kettles with different functionalities and designs. Don't have a camping coffee maker yet? Then quickly put it on your camping packing list!
Eat out or would you rather cook for yourself?
Of course you would prefer to eat out every day on vacation, but often that is not possible. Especially when you are traveling with a large group, it costs a lot of money. And say it yourself: all together around the camping table is also very cozy! In our assortment you will find different devices to prepare complete meals. Thanks to the electric stove or electric frying pan, you can bake, fry, stew and keep your food hot. So serving a fresh stew or pan of paella at the campsite is no problem. Are you a true bon vivant and enjoy a complete barbecue? Then take a look at our handy gas barbecues!
How to enjoy a refreshing drink
What could be better than enjoying a refreshing drink at the campsite, with your legs up in your easy chair? Unfortunately, not every camping device is equipped with a refrigerator. But Mestic has a solution for that, too. A perfect alternative to a refrigerator, and a must-have for your camping packing list, is of course a powerful cooler. Mestic has a wide range of coolers, from thermoelectric to absorption and from hybrid to compressor coolers. For example, the thermoelectric coolers can heat as well as cool, and the absorption coolers run on both electricity and gas. The hybrid cooler is a combination between a thermoelectric and compressor cooler. Connected to the car charger (12V) it cools up to 20°C below ambient temperature. Connected to 230V, it can both cool and freeze. If you choose a compressor cooler, then you choose the most efficient way of cooling. Both on the road and at the destination, this cooler keeps the contents cool. You set the desired temperature accurately between -18 °C and +10 °C. Which cooler do you put on your camping packing list?
Keep your camping gear and clothes nice and clean
When camping, it's easy to bring dirt and grime into your camper or tent. How handy is it to be able to quickly vacuum this up with a small dust buster, for example? The handy Mestic vacuum cleaners are bagless, lightweight and have a power between 100W and 600W. So you never have to use the dustpan and brush again. Thanks to the different nozzles, you can even get hard-to-reach places clean. And speaking of cleaning yourself, check out our washing machines. No need to bring suitcases full of clothes, just wash them in between your camping trip. Walking to the laundromat, if there is one, is a thing of the past!
In short: with the appliances from Mestic you choose how much luxury you take with you on vacation. Thanks to the low wattage, they are all suitable for camping. Grab your camping packing list and start planning your next camping vacation!
