Useful HABA camping articles that deserve a permanent place on your camping checklist!

FIXED WATER DRAINAGE
Many campsites have comfort pitches with a water tap and drain. You CAN empty the waste water tank – or in older caravans: the drain bucket – every time, but it's more convenient if you don't have to worry about it. Then you use the HABA waste water hoseng, in combination with the Hold-Up Plus peg set. This consists of an extendable hose and ten sturdy pegs (30 centimeters) with which you can easily create a well-sloping trajectory for the water hose. This automatically discharges the wastewater at the drainage point. You do this by driving the pegs into the ground at different heights and then guiding the drain hose via the pegs to the discharge point. On the other side, you attach the hose to the caravan's drain with the universal adapter (17 to 49 mm). If three meters length is not enough, you can connect the wastewater hose to a second one. Because you can bend the hose, it is possible to create a gooseneck so that any foul odors from the sewer are blocked. The pegs have a diameter of 6 mm and a sharp point, so you can drive them into the ground even on a hard surface. They are well resistant to weather influences and if you store them in the accompanying case, the rubber caps on the points prevent damage to holiday items.

WEATHER AND WIND
The second product we discuss here is the Bisella 'tie down set'. You use it to anchor the awning securely against storms. The set is specifically designed for awnings and canopies with a tubular frame. The tension strap does not go over the awning, as this can damage the tent fabric. Therefore, you attach the tension strap to the front horizontal tent pole of the awning. Then you guide it down via both uprights to the pegs, where you attach the tension strap. Of course, you have driven those pegs into the ground at an angle of 45 degrees – this gives them the most grip. An additional advantage of this attachment method is that the tension straps do not have to be tensioned like guy ropes – so you cannot trip over them. The Bisella tensioning set comes with two robust storm straps with buckles with which you can easily adjust the length of the tension straps. Unlike many other brands, HABA always provides two pegs with each storm strap.
