With the explosion of van life the answer to this question is an obvious yes. If you’re looking to experience a motorhome holiday, there isn’t a better time to do so than now. Below is a list to inspire your interest even further.
Try Out New Experiences!
Many people want to experience a campervan or a motorhome holiday at least once in their lifetime. Research shows though, most people place this type of holiday experience at the back of their to-do list, choosing resorts and apartments as a first preference.
A van or motorhome vacation is often viewed as a hard labor type of holiday with lots of strain. Yes, there is a bit more to do when you are traveling this way, but a novel experience always refreshes the soul. Compared to usual holiday getaways motorhome holidays give a feeling of internal rest most retreats can’t. You can create new memories, come up with ideas for new hobbies, educate yourself about “stuff” in the world and also combine many places to visit on a single trip. So it’s many experiences packaged into one trip.
You Get to See More than You Bargained For
Motorhome holidays give you the privilege of being able to explore while vacating. You are not glued to a single hotel or geographical area. And if the weather shakes your plans, you can stay in the camper, cook yourself a nice meal, or draw new plans perhaps. Being flexible and open to any possibilities is something to keep in mind when traveling with a camper, especially to places where the weather changes quickly, like Iceland for instance. This and booking a camper for getting around will allow you to simply change you plans and drive someplace else. Its that easy. No canceling reservations, no making new ones, no packing…you just drive. People get so comfortable doing this that they don’t even plan where they want to be more than a day or two ahead. They just adapt to the weather forecast.
Freedom on the Open Road
A motorhome holiday presents a lot of freedom, there’s no deadlines and zero clock watching! There’s no need to stick to all the plans you planned if you no longer want to. If you’re the spontaneous type and prefer taking things as they come, day by day, motorhome holidays can be your home away from home, all day, every day!
Upgrade and ditch the Tent
If you’ve spent most of your camping adventures sleeping on the ground, a motorhome is a great upgrade. Many travelers are pursuing a more “glamping” experience. Most motorhomes have inbuilt washrooms with showers and cassette toilets. Depending on your vehicle model you will also have a kitchen and a sitting area. In some instances though, you need to turn the sitting area into the bed space in the evening.
Check it Out
If you plan to go on a motorhome holiday and your desire is to have your own motorhome or camper van, but are undecided on which van type will work better for you. Rather hire a motorhome to learn about features you like and those that you don’t. This idea may appear like a pricy test but it’s worth it because buying a luxury motorhome is a huge investment, when you hire one or two you’ll experience first hand which models, manufacturers, and layouts you prefer before you put your money where your heart is.
So here it is, our top reasons why motorhome holidays are the new best thing and why you should definitely tick them off your bucket list soon. Hope you’ve been inspired to act and live out your dream vacation!
