Summer caravan BBQing is in full swing — the sun’s out, the chairs are unfolded, the esky is full to the brim and the BBQ lid is begging to be lifted. Those long, lazy afternoons on the road roll straight into dinner under the stars.
But let’s be honest, cooking in caravan kitchens or on tiny grills can feel like a game of Tetris. Space is tight, tools are few and somehow your tongs have vanished again.
So here at On The Move Caravans, we’ve pulled together a few of our tried-and-tested hacks to make your next summer BBQ the stuff of legend.
Forget the plain old snag sizzle, this is your time to experiment.
Every centimetre counts when you’re caravanning, so go for gear that punches above its weight.
A killer sauce can turn a basic summer caravan BBQ into a culinary moment. A few favourites to bottle before you hit the road:
Hot tip: Store them in squeeze bottles or small jars so they don’t claim half your fridge.
Do yourself a favour — slice, dice and marinate before you set off. It’ll save fridge space and make you look like the most organised camper in the park.
A great caravan BBQ isn’t just about the food, it’s about the vibe.
Hang up some fairy lights, throw on a playlist, crack open something cold and settle in for golden-hour dining.
Bonus points if you can spot kangaroos hopping in the distance while you flip your burgers.
Remember, if you can cook it at home, you can BBQ it on the road — with a bit of creative flair and a good squeeze of sauce.
So next time you’re parked by the coast, overlooking a national park, or just enjoying a quiet caravan park evening, fire up that grill and make summer taste amazing.
