Stone Guards & Protection Products

A caravan stone guardis the single most important accessory you'll buy. Without one, every gravel road throws stones at your caravan's front panel, gas bottles, water tanks, and electrical fittings. One trip without protection can cost more in repairs than the guard itself.

Caravan Accessories FAQs

What accessories do I need for a caravan?

Essential caravan accessories include: a stone guard for front panel protection, weight distribution hitch, electric brake controller, extended towing mirrors, levelling ramps, water filtration system, portable solar panels, and a quality awning. Stone protection should be your first purchase — a single gravel road trip without one can cost more in repairs than all other accessories combined.

What is the most important caravan accessory?

A caravan stone guard is arguably the most important accessory because it prevents costly damage to the front panel, gas bottles, water tanks, and electrical fittings. A single repair from stone damage typically costs $300-$1,500 — more than most stone guards cost to buy. The D-Flector Stone Guard (9.3/10) is our top-rated protection accessory.

Where can I buy caravan accessories in Australia?

Major Australian caravan accessory retailers include Caravan RV Camping, BCF (Boating Camping Fishing), SuperCheap Auto, and specialist online stores. For stone guards specifically, the D-Flector is available direct from d-flector.com.au, while Coast and Aussie Traveller products are available through major retailers.
