Accessing the web on Caravan and Camping Sites
Many devices now include wi-fi internet access enabled and can be utilized to access the web wherever you are, providing a wi-fi service is within range, so which device is most practical in terms of holidaying in your caravan or motorhome?
Used Static Caravans Sedbergh and laptop computers
The most obvious solution to connect to the internet is via your personal computer or laptop. They offer the biggest viewable screen and have easily adjustable resolution meaning you will see most websites at their optimum appearance. However, these are also large and take up a considerable amount of space in your 'van, not forgetting adding to the entire weight. They could also pose a security risk because they are not easily hidden out of sight, giving would-be thieves grounds to break into your caravan or motorhome.
Mobile phones
At another end of the scale with regard to size, there are cell phones with access to the internet. These provide an extremely portable strategy to use on line and check your emails and lots of people already have one. Some websites give a mobile friendly version of their website so that viewing online is easier on a smaller screen, however, most websites do not. Depending on the mobile phone you have, you may find viewing websites and finding the information you need very hard on the small screen.
Games consoles and MP3 players
As a compromise you can consider using your video game system or MP3 player to gain access to the internet. This feature is available on most up to date video gaming consoles and mp3 players at the bigger end of the market. If you take the children on caravan and motorhome holidays, you will most probably be packing a video games console to help keep them amused should the weather become changeable, so how about negotiating time to check on your emails?
If you're thinking about accessing the internet whilst on your own caravan park, it's worth phoning ahead to see whether wi-fi access can be acquired on your chosen site and whether any charges will be made.
If you're new to accessing the internet apart from on your PC at home, dig out your instruction manual for your phone or video game system before you set off and familiarise yourself with how the internet access works.
If you are still unsure, the manufacturer or phone company must have a helpline with trained advisers. Failing that - ask the youngsters!
Remember that all high-value, high-risk items need to be covered on your household insurance policy, and they should be covered when taken off the home, as it is unlikely that they will be covered on your own caravan or motorhome insurance.
