How To Guides

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.

These days, so many features of a motorhome rely on power. And to be fair, we’re pretty dependent on it too; imagine not being able to charge your smartphone! This means it's extra important that you understand how to power your motorhome, and learn techniques to make power last the distance. In this guide, we’ll break down how to power your motorhome in a simplified way. This will ensure you don’t get caught out in the dark when you’re next on holiday.

Are you planning on hiring a motorhome for your next travel adventure? Or perhaps you’re dreaming of owning your own motorhome but lack confidence when it comes to driving a larger vehicle. We have put together the ultimate guide on driving a motorhome in Australia to make things a little easier for you. As they say, practice makes perfect, so take the time to practice driving a larger car before committing to a long drive. With a bit of practice, you’ll be a confident driver in no time.

When we think about owning a campervan, a big part of the charm is the ability to travel to far-flung places, see glowing sunsets, meet new friends and wake up somewhere new every day.
