There is a real sense of relief that comes from knowing the essentials are already packed and ready to go. Instead of scrambling for hoses, leads and levelling gear before a trip, the Coast RV Caravan Starter Kit helps bring everything together in one simple package.
For new caravanners, it provides a practical starting point for those first trips away. For experienced travellers, it can also be a convenient way to replace ageing gear and tidy up the basics that support campsite setup.
In this guide, we take a closer look at what is included in the Coast RV Caravan Starter Kit, why each item matters, and how it helps make departure day and campsite setup smoother.
Why a caravan starter kit makes sense
The first stages of a caravan trip are often the most chaotic. You arrive at camp, start unpacking, and quickly realise how many small essentials are needed just to get set up properly.
You need to level the van, connect drinking water, plug into power and sort out grey water drainage. If those basics are missing, damaged or tangled together, even a short trip can start with frustration.
The Coast RV Caravan Starter Kit is designed to simplify that process by bundling together key touring essentials in a practical, organised format. Each item is there to support a smoother first campsite setup, while the included drawstring storage bags help keep everything tidier between trips.
What’s included in the Coast RV Caravan Starter Kit?
The kit includes a practical selection of campsite essentials designed to help with levelling, water, power and grey water management.
Included in the kit:
- Drawstring carrier bag with electrical cable
- Drawstring carrier bag with drinking water hose
- Drawstring carrier bag with grey water hose
- Heavy duty 15 metre LED equipped extension lead
- 10 metre black sullage hose, 25 mm internal diameter
- Levelling ramps with chocks
- Two way bubble level
- Aquaduct 10 metre blue drinking water hose with fittings, 12 mm
- Drinking water hose certified to Australian Standard AS/NZS 4020
The video also notes that the starter pack range includes different options, with one kit for motorhomes and two caravan kit variants based on different sullage hose sizes.
Levelling ramps, chocks and bubble level
One of the first things many caravanners need when arriving at camp is a way to get the van level.
The starter kit includes levelling ramps, chocks and a bubble level to help with that process. The ramps allow you to back the caravan onto the required height, and the chock helps secure the wheel once the van is in position.
This is not just about comfort. The video points out that if you are using a gas fridge, being even a small amount out of level can affect performance. That makes levelling an important part of campsite setup, not just a nice extra.
For customers new to caravanning, having these items already included helps remove one more piece of guesswork.
Drinking water hose
Fresh water connection is another basic requirement at many caravan parks and campsites.
The kit includes a 10 metre blue Aquaduct drinking water hose with fittings, designed to connect your site water outlet to the caravan. Importantly, the hose is certified to Australian Standard AS/NZS 4020, giving added confidence for drinking water applications.
That matters because not every hose is suitable for potable water. Including the right hose in the kit helps customers start with a safer, more appropriate water setup.
Heavy duty extension lead
Power is another campsite essential, particularly when staying on powered sites.
The starter kit includes a heavy duty 15 metre extension lead with LED indication. This gives caravanners a practical power connection option for use at suitable powered sites and helps cover a useful working distance from outlet to van.
Including the lead in its own drawstring storage bag also makes it easier to pack away after use and helps reduce the tangle of cords and hoses that can build up during travel.
Grey water and sullage hose
If water goes in, it also needs to come out.
The starter kit includes a 10 metre black sullage hose to help manage grey water drainage from the caravan at the site. This is one of those items that is easy to overlook when getting ready for a trip, but it quickly becomes essential once you arrive.
The video notes that Coast RV offers caravan starter kits with either a 25 mm or 27 mm sullage hose option, as well as a separate motorhome version. That gives customers a better chance of choosing a kit that suits their setup.
Better storage, less packing frustration
One of the more practical benefits of the kit is the way it supports storage and pack up.
Rather than throwing loose hoses and leads into a compartment and dealing with the mess later, the Caravan Starter Kit keeps key items grouped in their own drawstring carrier bags. That makes it easier to lift out the item you need, roll it back up after use and keep the tunnel boot or storage area more organised.
It is a simple detail, but it directly improves the experience of setting up and packing down.
Who is this starter kit for?
The Coast RV Caravan Starter Kit is especially useful for:
- new caravanners who want to begin with the basics covered
- customers replacing older or worn campsite essentials
- travellers wanting a tidier, more organised storage solution
- caravan owners looking for a practical all in one essentials pack
It helps create a strong foundation for campsite setup without needing to build the bundle piece by piece.
Choosing the right starter kit
Before choosing a starter kit, it is worth checking which version best suits your RV setup.
The video explains that Coast RV offers three starter pack options: one for motorhomes and two for caravans. The difference between the two caravan variants comes down to the included sullage hose size, with 25 mm and 27 mm options available.
Checking your existing outlet and fitment requirements first will help you choose the right kit.
Start your next trip with more confidence
The Coast RV Caravan Starter Kit is designed to make those first steps of travel easier, from levelling the van and connecting water to plugging into power and managing grey water.
By bringing together the essentials in one organised pack, it helps reduce the usual setup scramble and gives caravanners a more practical, confident starting point for travel.
