Keep Camping Clean – For a Safe Summer Holiday
(News archive - July 27th 2009)
Camping equipment and tent accessories specialists Camperlands have advised parents to keep their children’s health as their number one priority when embarking on camping trips this summer.
The firm, which specialises in campervan accessories and Motorhome equipment is urging parents to take the necessary precautions to prevent illness on camping holidays, as children are more susceptible to common camping problems such as stomach aches and diarrhoea.
Dominic Ryder, Managing Director of Camperlands, the Manchester based firm who offer airbeds, ground sheets, tents, Motorhome equipment and caravan accessories, said, “It’s very easy to just let loose when out in the wilderness, but young children need extra care as any illness will undoubtedly put a downer on the holiday.
“With Camperlands’ range of camping hygiene products, you can be sure that you and your children remain clean and germ-free, and that your holiday goes and smoothly as possible.”
The biggest culprits in camping related illnesses come from the lack of fresh water for showers and bathroom facilities. Camperlands have a range of portable toilets which make for safe and hygienic disposal of waste. The Kampa Khazi portable toilet comes with a removable waste container which is easy to empty. It is compact and can be used for storage when not in use. A range of practical and easy to use toilet accessories are also available, such as paper holders and toilet covers.
To make clean, fresh water readily available, the Fiamma Roll Tank is perfect for storing up to 40 litres. Alongside water storage, the firm stocks a range of water pumps and connections to make an efficient pumping system which can help to minimise the risk of illness on camping trips.
Mr Ryder added, “Along with these camping equipment essentials, it is advisable to make sure that children clean their hands thoroughly after using the bathroom and before eating or drinking. Antibacterial washes and wipes may also help to keep everyone in the best of health.”
