10 things to pack in your campervan

Here is a list of ten things we think you should not forget to pack in your motorhome. Many other things that are forgotten can easily be supplemented by going into a shop and shopping. Here we list the things that are impractical to forget, as they are more difficult to replace. Check that everything is included before you get into your motorhome and drive off!

1. Money - Cash (possibly different currencies) and debit/credit cards
2. Travel documents - Driving licences, passports, ferry tickets, booking numbers, registration certificates and insurance papers.
3. Telephone number - Make sure you have telephone numbers readily available for roadside assistance, insurance companies, SOS International, the bank's escrow service and relatives.
4. Camping cards and various membership and discount cards - For example, we have carried international camping cards and ACSI cards.
5. lists or apps of campsites, pitches and rest areas - There are many different lists and inventories, and it is good to have both those that can be viewed online and offline.
6. GPS or road atlas - The GPS can be updated and the road atlas is needed as a supplement (we think).
7. Medicines - It is good to have a small travel pharmacyand, above all, it is good to bring any prescription medication with you.
8. Laptop/iPad- Don't forget the necessary cables, any adapters and any mobile broadband.
9. camera - Of course, some people only use a mobile phone camera, so you can skip this point. If you bring a camera - don't forget the extra battery or battery charger.
10. Mobile phone - Last but not least, you need your mobile phone! Don't forget the cord to charge your mobile phone.
