Top tips for travelling in a campervan or motorhome.

Pack lightly, stock up on day one and spend the first night at a campsite to get organised is our best advice.

Touring in a camper van or motorhome is fun and relaxing for everyone. Take turns driving, give everyone a job...share the worst jobs...and the best ones.

Try not to pack too much in and leave some extra days in your plan to go off in a different direction or spend a little longer in a newly discovered place.

Watch the weather...change your route if it changes for the worse. That is the advantage of a road trip in a camper. You can change your mind.

Cooking on the road


I am a keen cook and so enjoy the prospect of finding local ingredients to cook up in the evening in the camper. Shopping at local markets in Belgium to find local ingredients is a must. I take recipes that I will have the time to try.

It is amazing the meals that you can create using two burners and a grill! There are sometimes small ovens included in the larger campers. All powered by gas which is great.

Park up, find a view and send everyone outside and leave me to it.

Keep it simple and use jars of sauces, tins of beans, corn and tomatoes. Buy fresh from local markets and chill the wine in the onboard fridge.

Most campers and motorhomes have a small freezer too useful for ice-cubes and frozen peas.


Time together

A motorhome is a great place to spend time together out of sheer necessity. Family card games, friendly board games or just chilling and sharing a jigsaw or stretching out and reading. Plan ahead and make sure you take a really good book and a pack of cards.

The camper does get a bit messy. Easily done but life is much more simple on the road and keeping everything in it's place helps a lot.


Electronics and gadgets for your road trip.

We all seem to travel with digital phones, cameras and laptops not to mention electric toothbrushes, hair dryers and ipods. Fortunately, these are all accommodated in many campervans and motorhomes. You will usually find usb connections, charging points and plugs as well as small screen tv's and dvd players.

I take a portable hard drive to keep my photos and videos on as the internet or 4g on the road is not always reliable.

Some travellers now blog or vlog about their travels and share on Facebook, Instagram, Youtube. Some stick to the analogue and take a notebook or journal. I sometimes use the free storage on Wordpress or Joomla or Drupal to upload my photos too and create a small website as a record of my travels. You can limit the people who see this as well.

Buying a wifi hotspot can keep those who are lost when not connected to the rest of the world. It is also useful if you really have to keep in touch with work.

For the more adventurous recorders of adventurers there is the option of using a drone for those magnificent arial shots. I haven't progressed beyond the GoPro yet.

If this is your first road trip in a camper van or motorhome then you will probably get hooked right away. There is always time to do something new, try something different as well as just relax somewhere...

Check out the Belgium Tourist Board's website first. It is a really useful guide for planning your road trip around Belgium.
