You have your dream motorhome, and you have lots of adventures planned, but what would be your most valuable accessory for your motorhome?
If you search on Google for Motorhome Accessories you will see pages upon pages of articles, lists and places to shop. There is a wide range of items available, some you never thought you would ever need (and to be honest probably won’t).
Choosing your motorhome accessories will always be a personal choice but here are our top 10 suggestions.
Bike Rack
To be honest many of the motorhome and campervan models we sell do in fact have these already fitted as standard because we know how important it is for our customers to have the options to take their bikes when travelling. And who can blame them, especially when travelling in the UK with the choice of mile upon mile of cycle pathways around the country. Plus, it is always useful to be able to jump on your bike and pop to the local shop to pick up some more milk.
Levelling Ramps
Not everywhere you park up for the night is level and you might find sleeping on a slope is not ideal and in fact will impact how your appliances work too. Therefore, we recommend ensuring you pack a set of levelling ramps in your motorhome. You might also want to consider mud mats too, as we know the Great British weather can play havoc creating muddy fields and pitches.
Outdoor Furniture
You arrive at the most idyllic spot and despite your motorhome being well equipped for you to eat and dine in, we of course also want to sit outside and enjoy the surroundings. That is why it always important to have some outdoor furniture that can be easily stored in your motorhome.
Portable Barbecue
And talking about being outdoors, for many of us cooking on the barbecue is part of the adventure. Today you can purchase a wide range of portable barbecues suitable for your motorhome but simply ensuring you have a couple of disposable packed may also suffice. However, do please note aby specific regulations in the places you stay in regard to the use of disposable barbecues.
Battery Operated Lanterns & Portable Lighting
Available in a host of styles and price ranges, depending on your needs but still an important item to have stored in your motorhome. For those times when are out exploring as the sun sets or just for clearing away after enjoying an evening under the stars.
WIFI Booster
In the digital age we live in, being connected is important for many, unless you are planning to be completely off grid. Working from home can also for some mean working from their motorhome so ensuring that you can have a signal is imperative.
Device Chargers / USB Cables
It is all very well having WIFI, but you also need to ensure you have the cables to charge your devices too and there are some great gadgets now available that mean you don’t need lots of sockets to do this, plus also worth investing in a portable charger just in case.
Water Hose / Electric Cable

The hosepipe is imperative to fill your water tanks but do bear in mind having the right connectors too. Plus, when it comes to the electric cable, please make sure this is stored safely in your motorhome garage and ideally in a safe carry case.
