Motorhome Photos and Equipment

Travelling around in a motorhome you have limited room for equipment.  You have to think of weight and packing things in a way that they don’t rattle or break when travelling.

Setting off on our first trip December 2016 around Europe and North Africa (visiting 20 countries), we took far too much stuff and it was a big learning curve on what we really needed.  We have scaled back on many items and have given away things such as clothes and books, especially when travelling through Morocco in 2017.
If you would like to know more on the countries/places visited, just click on the countries under 'Labels on the right-hand side, or if you scroll down further they are all listed under 'Blog Archive'.

Our Motorhome is a Sunliving Lido S42DF, by Adria - length 6.95 metres (including fitted tow bar and scooter rack).  Insulated to -15 degrees C.  On top of the motorhome roof is a 120 Watt Solar Panel and remote control Snipe Satellite Dish.  Listed below the photos are essentials we carry with us.

Removable table, so lounge area can give more space, plus makes up into another double bed.

Bathroom, with separate shower cubicle and SOG Unit Toilet (removes the need to use chemicals).
