Many holiday parks now offer luxury options, such as the “Rockstar” caravan he stays in on this week’s episode at an Isle of Wight caravan park.
However, even with the new modern options, there are still some essentials holidaymakers should be sure to pack.
He revealed there are some simple items Britons should never forget, as well as some new suitcase additions one might not typically pack for a British summer holiday.

“Sometimes the amenities can be a bit of a walk,” he continued.
“If you’re going to the ballroom or you’re going swimming and it gets dark very quickly there’s not a lot of light around where the caravans are situated, so you might need a headlamp.
“Now, I know you think you don’t need that torch well I have one anyway.”
“Make make sure your phone’s charged,” advised Shane.
“Because you can always use the torch on your phone.”
Thanks to the boost many holiday providers have given their UK parks, there are some new essentials you might normally only pack when heading to warmer climates.
“I got my shorts for the hot tub.”
Even holidaymakers who don’t have an onsite hot tub might still want to consider popping swimwear into their suitcase.
“It’s always worth bringing your swimming costume anyway because there’s often a swimming pool on-site, but most holiday parks have also started offering hot tub holiday options,” added Shane.
Other new amenities caravan stays are increasingly offering include multiple televisions in the holiday homes, as well as an array of kitchen amenities such as dishwashers and fridges stocked with complimentary beverages.
