Motorhome holidays are one of the much-loved Aussie getaways that help you to indulge in fun, adventure and discovery. This also provides you with an ideal opportunity to bond with your loved ones, uniting everyone to enjoy a special, unforgettable experience together. In this digital era, this is very essential, so never ignore the advantages of a motorhome holiday. The ideal motorhome break requires you, your family and/or friends, and the bare essentials.
Let’s now look at what you need to bring along for the trip.
When you’re ready to pack your bags for a holiday stay in nature’s lap, it’s vital to carefully consider what you need and what you can live without for the length of your break. Here we go...
Essentials You May Need
- Clothing and shoes
- Bedding & towels
- Toiletries
- Food staples
- Cooking essentials, kitchenware & crockery items
- Books, toys, games and entertainment
- Pet essentials, if you want to accompany a pet
- A jacket or raincoat (just in case you may need it)
Depending on whether you have your motorhome or renting one for the extent of your holiday break, you may not need everything listed above. That’s why it’s imperative to create your checklist with your own need in mind to avoid bringing excess items pointlessly.
Ideas to Save Space
Investing in collapsible items that can be easily folded away and stored after use is one of the most efficient ways to save space in a motorhome. This has a twin effect – it will maximise the available space and the motorhome will feel roomy and more open. For instance, folding and collapsible versions of tables and chairs at an affordable price point are ideal for your upcoming motorhome escapade.
Likewise, invest in small boxes and Tupperware, which can be effortlessly stored in easy-to-access spaces – this will go a long way in keeping things together, and curtail your packing and unpacking time thereby lowering the possibility of mess creeping into your motorhome. This will help you to find what you need easily when you need it and avoid the anxiety of poking around in your motorhome without any success in finding anything.
Smart Storage Ideas
- If you own your motorhome then you can add sticky-back hooks to walls, cupboards and the backs of doors – this would make an excellent way to hang items like bags, towels and coats tidily and out of the way.
- Likewise, if you have an isolated area to place a hanging shoe rack in your motorhome, then this can create a fabulous space to keep all shoes and footgear at once place and prevent getting muddy footprints on the motorhome floor.
- Tiered baskets and stackable crockery are recommended for the kitchen space. Foodstuffs such as vegetables and fruits can be effortlessly stored in baskets with other dry goods to maximise the space you already have.
- For carrying cooking essentials such as herbs, spices and cooking oil, you can get small pots or jars and pour them into them for they are a great travel-friendly alternative. The same thing can be applied to toiletries as well.
Say “NO” to Clutter
Don’t carry anything that you don’t require, so make it a point to create a list of things that you need and stick to it – this will go a long way in keeping you free from unwanted clutter.
Voila! Follow these simple tips and you’re on your way to creating more space in your motorhome.
