A quick guide before you hit the road
Preparing a motorhome trip in Australia is somewhat daunting, particularly when you are attempting to balance between comfort and practicality. The great news is that an Auto-Trail motor home takes much of the pressure out of the process. Storage is vast, the layouts are sensible and you have convenient extras such as luxury bathrooms, in-built GPS and floating beds that open up more space than you will think. The necessary requirements are in place, and you can roll out knowing that you have everything you need to make your trip a smooth one.
Start with the basics
The primary thing you cannot afford to do without in Australia is water. Carry refillable containers and a spare 10-20L in case you are leaving town. Auto-Trail has deep external lockers, which allow it to store water safely without cluttering the living area.
Food and cooking gear
There is long-life meals, pantry staples, snacks, tea and coffee that require space. Similar with pots, pans, utensils and cleaning cloths. Auto-Trail kitchens assist in this aspect with roomy drawers, solid benchtops and overhead cupboards that can fit stuff.
Electronics and power.
Battery pack, torch, power leads, adaptors, 12V chargers. The majority of Auto-Trail models have in-built GPS and sufficient USB connections, which means that you need not worry about keeping your devices charged.
Beds with more storage
Sleep is everything. The floating beds of Auto-Trail not only conserve space on the floor, but also provide bonus storage beneath. It works well with clothes, shoes and other heavy things that you would like to keep out of the way.
Safety and tools
The first aid kit, fire extinguisher, hi-vis vest and roadside kit should never be left behind. Duct tape, zip ties, multi-tool, and a tyre pressure gauge do not occupy much space, and Auto-Trail floor hatches and side lockers make them within reach.
Personal care and toiletry products.
Eco-friendly soap and shampoo, deodorant, sunscreen, insect repellent and toilet paper are necessities. Auto-Trail motorhomes have luxury bathrooms, which implies you can fit everything in order and take a shower without feeling claustrophobic.
Outdoor gear
Long stays should be packed with camping chairs, a small table and an awning mat. The rear garage compartments of Auto-Trail are large enough to accommodate this type of equipment without overcrowding your living area.
Small details that simplify the journey.
Books, cards, portable speaker, camera, and laundry stuff, maps and your paperwork all have a place. Auto-Trail motorhomes have layouts that allow you to store things in an organised way rather than scattered all over.
Why the motorhome matters
There is not much difference in the necessities between trips. The difference is the space you need to store them. The clever layout, intelligent storage and cozy comfort of Auto-Trail enables you to pack all that you require without feeling crowded.
