10 Motorhome Accessories Worth Considering (But Not Essential
When you hit the road in a motorhome, the essentials are obvious: water, fuel, food, and a good playlist. But once you’ve got the basics covered, there’s a whole world of accessories that can elevate your experience from “just camping” to “glamping with style.” These aren’t must-haves—but they’re definitely nice-to-haves. Here are ten motorhome accessories that might just make your next trip smoother, more entertaining, or simply more fun.
1. Spirit Level
Ever tried sleeping on a slope? Not ideal. A small spirit level helps you park on even ground, making everything from cooking to sleeping more comfortable. It’s a tiny tool with a big impact—especially if your fridge is sensitive to tilt.
2. Walkie Talkie
Perfect for navigating tight campsites or reversing into awkward spots. One person outside, one inside—no shouting, no hand signals, just clear communication. Plus, they’re great for hiking or exploring when mobile signal is patchy.
3. 12V Television
A compact 12-volt television lets you catch the news, watch a movie, or stream your favorite show without draining your battery. Ideal for rainy evenings or lazy mornings when the outdoors can wait.
4. 12V DVD Player
Yes, streaming is king—but when Wi-Fi is weak or nonexistent, a trusty DVD player can be a lifesaver. Bring a stack of classics or kids’ favorites and enjoy screen time without buffering.
5. Portable Projector
Want to turn your motorhome into a mini cinema? A compact projector and a blank wall (or a hanging sheet) can create magical movie nights under the stars. Just add popcorn and a cozy blanket.
6. Solar-Powered Charger
Keep your gadgets alive without relying on campsite hookups. A foldable solar charger is eco-friendly and perfect for topping up phones, tablets, or even camera batteries while off-grid
7. Portable Ice Maker
Not essential, but oh-so-luxurious. If you love a cold drink on a hot day, a compact ice maker can be a game-changer. Especially handy in southern Spain or anywhere the sun doesn’t hold back.
8. Collapsible Washing Basket
Space-saving and practical, a collapsible basket makes laundry day less of a hassle. Use it for clothes, towels, or even as a catch-all for beach gear.
9. Motion-Sensor LED Lights
Stick-on LED lights with motion sensors are great for nighttime trips to the loo or lighting up dark cupboards. They’re cheap, easy to install, and surprisingly useful.
10. Inflatable Lounger
Forget bulky chairs—these lightweight loungers inflate in seconds and are perfect for relaxing outside your motorhome. Bonus: they pack down small and are great for beach days or festivals.
Final Thoughts
Motorhome travel is all about freedom, and these accessories are here to enhance—not complicate—that experience. None of them are essential, but each one adds a little extra comfort, convenience, or joy to life on the road. Pick and choose what suits your style, and remember: sometimes the best accessory is simply a good view and a cup of coffee.
