How To Guides

The phrase ‘self-contained’ has always been a buzzword when it comes to RVs and motorhomes. And why wouldn’t it be? The ultimate travelling luxury is the ability to be parked up in nature with all the modern conveniences like running water, a shower, and a toilet.  

There is nothing better than being cosy at home, except maybe feeling cosy in your home on wheels. We are seeing more and more people buying campervans with the intention of living in them full time. People are drawn to the possibility of being able to live cheaply while travelling. But, no matter if you’re living in an RV full-time or using it for holidays, it’s important to enjoy the space you’re in. 

Most modern motorhomes use a combination of mains electricity, battery power, and LPG gas to run all the various appliances on board. Whether you’re planning on setting up your motorhome at a holiday park or heading to an off-grid campsite, motorhome LPG systems are a game-changer.

Imagine parking up in the beautiful afternoon sun, nestled amongst the trees for a perfect beach-side sunset, only to discover later that evening that the motorhome isn’t level. Items are rolling off the counter, and sleeping feels like an elusive goal as you tuck in for the night. Chances are if you own a motorhome, you have experienced at least one of these nights - but you don’t have to anymore!

Travelling in a self-contained vehicle is one of the underrated luxuries of motorhome travel. Having a toilet onboard gives just that little bit of extra comfort while travelling and is one of the main reasons travellers choose a motorhome over other camping styles. Whether it's having a convenient rest stop during a long day of driving or the ability to park up in some of Australia’s remote and untouched natural beauty, being self-contained comes with huge advantages. 

A fridge is one of the many luxuries that come with owning a motorhome. Whether it's being able to store fresh, easy to grab meals or reaching for a chilled beverage after a long day of driving, there are so many benefits to having a fridge while travelling Australia.

Owning a self-contained motorhome gives you the ultimate freedom to travel Australia. Travel where you want, how you want, and on your own terms. But as Elenor Roosevelt said, ‘with freedom comes responsibility’. A motorhome requires a little care to keep it in its best condition. 

A motorhome is the ultimate way to experience all the beauty of Australia, all while feeling like you never really left home. However, a motorhome is a big investment, and so it’s important to know how to take care of it so it can be the perfect home-away-from-home for years to come.

Motorhome travel has never been easier. With so many caravan sites, free campsites, and holiday parks scattered all over the country, many people are trading in their car road trips for the luxury of self-contained motorhome facilities and holiday parks, as they explore Australia.

Having a healthy supply of water when you’re out on the road in your RV is essential. Many of the conveniences we often take for granted use water; your shower, kitchen sink, and toilet. Whether you’re new to the RV lifestyle or you’ve been exploring The Outback for years, it’s good to refresh yourself on how your RV’s water system works. Doing so could prevent you from being caught out with no water to drink.
