Motorhomes are a brilliant way to explore your country and further abroad as they provide you with freedom whilst also being a mini portable home. That being said, there are a number of ways that they can be made even more functional and relaxing.
Here are some of the most useful additions you can make to your motorhome, covering everything from a tow bar to reversing cameras:
Bike rack
Installing a bike rack either behind or on top of your motorhome will transform it into a central hub from which you can explore further. Plus, bikes are much more manageable in cities so you can park your motorhome a bit further out and cycle around for the day without the added stress of driving and parking a motorhome in a bustling city.
Awning
An awning is a simple but very useful addition to your motorhome. The cover they provide is a good measure against the rain as well as the sun and you’ll no longer need to choose between a covered but stuffy indoor space or an exposed but breezy outdoor space. Moreover, these fairly inexpensive additions are easy to install and maintain and they spruce up your motorhome setup.
Tow Bar
Tow bars are hugely versatile additions to a motorhome. They allow for camping boxes to be attached which means that you can bring more of your belongings on your travels. They can also tow a boat or a bike rack for further transport and leisure options which are out of bounds to large motorhomes.
Their only downsides is that they add length to a vehicle which is already notoriously large and also they make reversing more difficult… but at least you’re towing your boat or a bunch of extra travelling gear!
Gaslow System
Rather than the conventional gas tank, which must be specifically replaced or refilled, Gaslow systems can be filled up at petrol stations and don’t need to be removed from the motorhome at all. Plus they’re more popular abroad which makes them good long-term investments compared to their more awkward but more traditional little brothers.
Solar Panels
As more and more aspects of our daily lives are being digitised and electrified, it’s important to have a reliable source of electricity without having to rely on mains sockets and campsite stations. Solar panels are a great way to achieve this in an environmentally-friendly way and they will allow you to adventure further from suburbia!
Reversing Camera
As motorhomes continue to increase in size, installing a reversing camera is a good investment. Rather than facing sky-high insurance claims and repair jobs, buying a reversing camera will remove a lot of risk in the tense process of parking your motorhome… and potentially save you money!
Your mind should now be swimming with ideas about how to make your motorhome more relaxing and functional. If you have any other questions about motorhome hire and accessories then don’t hesitate to get in touch with Chief Vehicle Rentals on 01803 502 494!
