Tips For Campervan Beginners

Many people have turned to campervan holidays in recent times and it is easy to see why. There is freedom, flexibility and privacy with these holidays, but they can also be daunting for beginners. Whether you are renting a campervan, or you have purchased one (essentially a holiday home), here are a few tips that will help you to make the most out of your vacation and overcome some of the common challenges.

1. Stay in the Vehicle at Home

A sensible idea is to spend the night in your campervan while it is parked at home. This will help you to learn how to use it while still having the safety net of being at home. This will give you confidence when you do set off and help you to settle faster. 

2. Check Heating Controls

You don’t want to set off on a winter trip only to find that your heating does not work. This is why you should always check the heating controls before you leave and make sure that you understand how they work. Additionally, you should make sure that you have a full gas bottle and spares.

3. Toilet Training

You also need to know how to use, drain and clean a chemical loo. It is best if you stick to the campsite toilets where possible, but you should know how to empty your chemical loo so that you can manage on the trip.

Write a List of Essentials

You should write a list of essentials that you need well in advance of your trip. This will depend on your trip but is likely to include things like:

  • Sleeping gear
  • Clothing (for all weather!)
  • Cooking equipment
  • Food
  • Toiletries
  • Games and entertainment

Insurance

You also need to make sure that you have insurance in place before setting off. Campervan insurance from specialists like Comfort Insurance will provide the coverage that you need and cover against things like accidental damage, vandalism, theft, fire, flood, and other risks. As such a big investment and both a vehicle and a home, you need to have strong protection in place in case anything were to happen and for peace of mind.

Plan Your Route

It is easy to forget about the actual travel itself when planning a campervan holiday. You need to spend time planning your route, including any pitstops along the way. You should use a GPS system to guide you as this can take a lot of the stress out of driving.

Hopefully, these tips will come in handy when planning your first campervan holiday. There are many benefits to this type of holiday, but they can also be challenging to plan and you need to have confidence from the moment that you set off.
