Motorhome Republic Blog

Hello, and welcome to the Motorhome Republic Blog! Here, you’ll find anything and everything related to the best ways to holiday, no matter where you are in the world. 

Whatever you want to call them - motorhome, campervan, caravan, RV - the freedom, fun, adventure, and affordability of hiring your own little ‘hotel on wheels’ is no matter of debate. You can go wherever you want, whenever you want, with whoever you want - and it’s this sense of liberation we love to celebrate on this blog. 

Our travel itineraries are a hub for inspiring adventure and exploration - here to provide eye-opening ideas for future vacations, spanning New Zealand, Australia, the USA, Canada, the UK, and everywhere in-between. Our Bucket-List articles feed the wandering spirit, focusing on the endless thrills and wonderful memories you could make road-tripping the glorious east coast of Ireland, the Winelands of South Africa, the ethereal landscape of New Zealand, and so much more. 

We aim to make our events section an essential guide, highlighting sports tournaments, music festivals, international celebrations, and all the wonderful opportunities only accessible with a motorhome rental.  And our fun road trip videos capture the real essence of what we’re all about.

It’s also YOUR blog, so interaction is key. Your stories, your ideas, your feedback keep us inspired and in the loop with what you desire most - so please, get in touch and let us know what you think!

Expect plenty of inspiration, quality content, and handy information on our Motorhome Republic blog. Happy camping!

  • From gypsy caravans to wagons on the prairie, the convenience of a place to stay combined with a mode of transport has been appreciated for many eras and across the globe. But these examples take motorhomes to the next level! We have found some of the whackiest motorhomes, travel trailers and house trucks out there. Have you come across any of these wonderful vehicles?
  • While it can be tricky to book a motorhome pick-up in spots such as Reno, San Francisco and LA during the summer due to excessive demand, there's another iconic US destination you should consider for your summer festival adventure: Salt Lake City.
  • The Georgian Bay Coastal Route is nothing short of inspirational. Taking this journey in an RV rental allows you to stop where you please and adapt the itinerary as you go. Ontario is blessed with many natural wonders, but they all seem to converge around Georgian Bay with clifftops, beaches, waterfalls, hiking trails and national parks spread across 30,000 islands and a shoreline stretching 2000km. 
  • A motorhome rental is always a fantastic adventure, even during the off-season! A camping road trip is certainly a different experience in colder months, but can be a great way to see a new place. There are fewer tourists, snow-capped mountains, crisp mornings, warm restaurants and the possibility of skiing or snowboarding in some locations. 
  • This vehicle is the heartbeat of your summer festival adventure. It's your home, your transport, your shelter, your kitchen, your toilet, your shower; your everything. So it helps if you prepare well. Motorhome Republic has compiled the essential Q&A for all summer festival travellers in an RV, motorhome or campervan.
  • What can you do when school’s out? Take the family on a motorhome rental adventure. Winter holidays in New Zealand and Australia fall in late June or early to mid July, and there’s no need to stay cooped up in the house when you can hit the road and experience everything your very own part of the world has to offer. 
  • New Zealand is all about natural attractions. From the “100% Pure” tourism campaigns to the Lord of the Rings vistas, the country has a reputation for untouched landscapes, welcoming wilderness and spectacular scenery. And the best way to experience all of that picture-postcard perfection is undoubtedly by camping: it’s cheap, fun and puts as little civilisation between you and beautiful New Zealand as possible.
  • While conventional camping stereotypes imply roughing it, a motorhome road trip can be the exact opposite, incorporating glamour and luxury with a sense of adventure. If you get the right vehicle, there’s no need to sacrifice your creature comforts. A plush rental can come equipped with everything you require for the smoothest ride of your life! 
  • Camping in Australia is a fantastic way to get up close and personal with a beautiful corner of the globe, that’s slightly on the larger side! The country’s natural attractions are its best features, and you can see them all when you rent a motorhome. Just hit the roads by day and park up at night.

  • The price of petrol is a small detail which has a big effect on the cost of living, cost of travel... the cost of pretty much everything. Gas prices are lower than they have been in a while, so it’s the perfect opportunity to hit the road in a motorhome rental. If you’ve been delaying that once-in-a-lifetime road trip you’ve always dreamed of, get packing. With cheap petrol worldwide, you can have your pick of routes and destinations. Motorhome Republic can help you find the perfect set of wheels and accommodation rolled into one.
  • Easter can sometimes fly under the radar as a holiday, as it may not have the same festive atmosphere as Christmas or New Year’s Eve, but it does have something they don’t: a guaranteed four-day weekend. With Good Friday and Easter Monday off work, you can take the opportunity for a break and head out on the road for a quick motorhome camping trip.
  • Be ready for an adventure when you touch down in Hobart and pick up a motorhome! Tasmania is an island of wilderness and scenery with pockets of civilisation, and it is the perfect spot for a week of freedom with your own wheels and accommodation.
  • Itinerary: Adelaide / Victor Harbour / Robe / Mount Gambier / Portland / Great Ocean Road, Torquay / Melbourne
  • The road trip south from Brisbane to Sydney is one of Australia’s most exciting motorhome adventures. It encompasses all the very best that campervan travel has to offer. A stunning coastal drive, vast selection of crisp, sandy beaches and numerous outdoor adventures, as you take in rainforests, national parks and the kind of wildlife you only find in the southern hemisphere. 
  • Itinerary:  Sydney / Woollongong / Kiama / Nowra / Batemans Bay / Eden / Bairnsdale / Melbourne / Phillip Island / Great Ocean Road
