Right now, camping and caravanning are some of the most popular ways that Aussies are travelling.
However, as much as they can be fun ways to see the country without the added costs of flights and hotels, they also come with a unique set of problems.
To fix this, one savvy Facebook user has come to the table with an underrated product you never knew you needed.

“Easy to install, and looks good!”
One issue you would never consider until facing it yourself is just what to do with your toothbrush and toothpaste whilst in a caravan.
Yahoo Lifestyle reported that a Facebook user took to the platform this week to post the question in a popular group, asking fellow caravanners for the solution.
"Would love ideas on what you put your toothbrush and toothpaste in when travelling full time," the poster said.
"I have ours in a normal cup holder but have to store it away every time we are travelling. Would like something nice to look at on the bench that is safe to keep there while travelling, please."
Several people were quick to respond, indicating that they’d dealt with the issue too. But, it was one inexpensive product from Bunnings which saved the day.
"We have a fusion lock attached to the wall from Bunnings," someone said, referring to the Fusion-Loc 13kg Matte Black Bathroom Tumbler.
"We do as well. Never a problem," another agreed.
"Same. Easy to install and looks good," said a third.
"Fushion-Loc cup with holder and matching hand soap pump with holder. Bunnings," another comment said.
The product is a shower organiser with suction cups which work on tiles and glass, meaning you could easily store your toothbrush and toothpaste inside without it falling down, or hearing them roll around in a drawer.

Problem solving on a budget
This isn’t the first time one simple product has saved the day when it comes to caravanning.
A Kmart shopper took to Facebook recently to share a hack to prevent the constant clinking and banging of jars whilst driving.
In her post, she shared her ingenious idea for caravanners using the $1.75 Giant Ice Cube Tray from the store.
"These from Kmart are great in the fridge to stop little jars hitting each other,” they said in the group.
Commenters were immediately impressed with the idea, labelling it ‘genius’ and ‘so clever’.
“Ohhhh that’s a great idea,” another said.
