Kristof on Dec 17, 2015

These gadgets may not be strictly necessary for a great motorhome holiday, but they could certainly make a nice addition to your vacation.

You may be thinking that it’s a little late to add anything to your Christmas wishlist but let’s be honest here: how many of your friends and family wait until the last possible minute to do their Christmas shopping? Yeah, that’s what I thought. So, secure in the knowledge that your loved ones won’t be buying you presents for at least another few days, take a look at these nifty gadgets that will make your next motorhome holiday a truly awesome experience. If you’re hunting for more practical gadgets, you best look elsewhere, but if you’re keen to discover some amazing gizmos that will make your motorhome experience much more luxurious, then read on!

 
 
Bubble tent

One of the great things about staying in a motorhome is the fact that your accommodation travels with you wherever you go - but sometimes it’s nice to have another option, just for variety’s sake. Enter the Bubble Tent. Designed to provide a minimalist, nature surrounded sanctuary, these transparent structures can allow you to change things up and really experience the full glory of nature.

 
 
Eco-Grill 

Convenience, without sacrificing conscience. What more can you ask of a disposable product? There’s no need to forgo tasty grilled meat and veges just because you’re on a motorhome holiday, and these compact little guys are the simple solution for outdoor cooking. Not only are they small and lightweight, they end up turning into a campfire when you’re done. 

 
 
GoPro

Memories may fade and be forgotten but digital video will endure long after all the details of your holiday have slipped into the dusty recesses of your mind. That’s why video cameras are becoming an increasingly important part of the modern vacation. The GoPro has quickly established itself as the camera for choice for holidaymakers and adventurers alike, thanks to its simplicity and extreme hardiness.

 
 
E-reader

Sure you can bring a book along on your holiday, but there are a number of drawbacks to travelling with a paperback which e-readers address. For a start, you can carry a virtually unlimited number of stories with you on an e-reader. If you’re a quick reader or you’re setting out on a lengthy motorhome holiday, packing an e-reader is far better than having to fit several hard copy books into your luggage, especially given the limited space available in a motorhome.

 
 
Portable Solar Panels

This one is especially nice to have if you’re heading out into the wilderness. While a lot of larger campgrounds will have RV hookups available, smaller campgrounds may not - and if you’re destination is a national park or somewhere similar, you’ll soon find that power is in short supply. There’s nothing wrong with roughing it and going without power for a little while but for a really luxurious experience why not bring along a solar powered charger to keep all your personal electronic devices at full capacity? 

 

 

Of course, it’s no use getting all these luxury travel items for Christmas without a motorhome holiday to use them on. Why not give yourself a little pre-Christmas present and start planning your luxurious motorhome vacation today? You could embark on a great journey by deciding to cross the USA from Boston to San Francisco. Or maybe you have always dreamed about a big trip around Australia. Another popular road trip is driving from Auckland, the biggest city in New Zealand, to the beautiful Queenstown. Finally, in case you would like to discover Europe, you could decide to drive across this diverse continent starting in the UK and then making your way through France, Italy, Croatia and even further beyond if you desire.

It’s funny how motorhome memories stick with you. I can still recall a motorhome vacation my family took when I was five years old and how awesome I thought I was, tucked away in a loft bed above the cab. From revealing unique destinations to providing tips and tricks, it’s my mission to help others build great motorhome memories too.
