10 Best Must-Have Essentials For Modern Motorhome Dwellers - Yanko Design

I've never lived in a motorhome or spent much time road-tripping through the country, but I do believe it would be an exciting and cherishable experience. Most people these days are abandoning their restrictive and superficial lifestyles, to adopt a wholesome and endearing life on the go. If...

I don’t think they are must have essentials, I have never needed any of them up to now,and cannot see me needing them any time in the future

Out of the lot, the dish rack was the only one, but it did look a bit flimsy

$75 though!

I think that video should be called "10 items that we get money to promote"

 

[Pudsey Bear]

Oh no, I didn't clock the price

Think they actually say that at the start ! Immediate reason for not reading . Basically a marketing tool .
I do have an ecoflow which I've found really useful . The other stuff is mostly just gimmicks

that's a bit harsh! I bet the other day when you were reaching for your holographic lung scanner and realised you forgot to pack it before you left, you were sobbing into your skinny latte in its reusable starbucks cup

We watch that Motorhome TV show and in each one they test 3 version of crap no one really needs.

but I bet if we all met up and emptied our vans of stuff we "think" we need there would be a few derisory comments.

It is quite entertaining show I think and TBH sometimes I find I either have what they are testing or I think "that would be good" and get it.
Obviously, doesn't mean I end up actually using it!

Amazing that the start of the article says they have never lived in a motorhome or even gone on trips in one! They didn't suggest a defibrillator either. And I did read it all too....why

Essential are
Breakdown cover
Fuel
Food
Water
Warm bedding
Sensible clothing
Walking boots/shoes
Dogs

That's it, everything else is added stuff

How can they describe something as “essential” when it is a concept and not even available (Moka-mp).

 

[Carrerasax]

Not many of these have, the often suggested , 3 uses IMO so not sure I’d bother!!!

 

[Pudsey Bear]

In no particular order my top ten.

Over and above the normal stuff we need to have clothes and eat.

1, Multimeter
2, Portable lithium jump start pack
3, Antibac spray
4, Zoflora spray for loo
5, 300 rolls of loo paper
6, A selection of basic tools with some screws nuts n bolts, and electrical bits n bobs.
7, Books
8, Spare Chargers
9, Tablets loaded with stuff to watch and play
10, Spare phone just in case one dies.

You forgot the loo paper, or do you just smoke a hamlet.

There is, or at least used to be a warehouse at the Gloucester Docks retail outlet called "Essentials". It had a HUGE sign outside its HUGE warehouse so we went in to have a look. Amongst the ESSENTIAL things it was selling was a 10" AF spanner, about 10ft long. It was labelled as a Tank track changing spanner. I somehow managed to continue my life without buying it.
