Campervan cruising! PICK THE PERFECT MOTORHOME

Hit the road for a scenic motorhome holiday at your own pace... Travel in style with Camplify’s checklist

-

Why stress yourself out with delayed flights and confusing public transport when you could take the wheel yourself? In times of social distancing, tight budgets and constantly changing border restrictio­ns, there’s no better way to take in all Australia has to offer than a campervan. Here are the best locations across our diverse and beautiful country to visit in your motorhome.

WHAT VAN DO YOU NEED?

Think of who you are heading on the road with and what type of RV you would require. When travelling with the family, opt for a larger motorhome that comfortabl­y sleeps everyone. If you’re taking a trip with your favourite furry companion, pet-friendly vans are also available. Camplify (camplify.com.au) has an abundance of unique vans available to hire.

LICENCE REQUIREMEN­TS

Make sure you have a valid driving licence. If you’ve never towed a caravan before or don’t feel comfortabl­e towing one, many caravan owners will offer the option of towing the caravan to your required destinatio­n, meaning you can enjoy your trip without having to worry about the logistics!

CONSIDER AMENITIES

If you are opting to hire a retro caravan or Kombi that has been transforme­d into a stunning home on wheels, be mindful that vital amenities such as toilets and showers may not be included. If this is the case, make sure to book yourself at a caravan or holiday park where there are public amenities you can use.

PLAN AHEAD

It’s always sensible to have some kind of route plan in place to ensure you always know how to get back on track if you end up taking a wrong turn. Equip yourself with local maps and checkpoint­s of your location.
