A sofabed could be one of the most useful items in a caravan.
A sofabed may be the shrewdest investment of all for those heading on a caravan holiday this summer.
Helen Green, writing for terrysfabrics.co.uk, says furniture that "doubles up" allows a whole family to live in a restricted space for longer than usual.
Some furniture can even be purchased to provide additional storage - a factor that may also make some sofabeds appealing, as they can contain hidden cupboards and drawers.
"With a family it is even more critical that your caravan has a good layout so that movement is not restricted and furniture doubles up," Ms Green explains.
A sofabed could also help families fit more members of their party into the caravan, as daytime seating transfers to potentially offer two additional sleeping spaces.
Last month, the All About Improve Your Home and Family website noted sofabeds as a "critical" investment for those living in small properties or studio flats.
