3 Pieces Of Sporting Equipment Needed For Motorhomes

Posted on by leisureplus

You might be considering if it’s time to take out the caravan for one final family vacation this summer – the only answer is yes. Whether you’re planning on travelling to Brighton or Kent, your motorhome equipment might need to be replenished and you will be looking at what else you need to take with you for when the hot weather comes out.

New research from eBay (via House Beautiful) has found that more Brits are opting for a staycation this summer. Caravans are the most popular choice of accommodation on the website with over 4,000 listed. There were also more than 400,000 motorhome-themed items sold on eBay in the last three months.

Here are three items that you need to take with you to take full advantage of your time spent outside.

 

Football

Football fever captured the entire country this summer with the World Cup, so there’s no doubt that someone will be up for kicking the footy around at least once during the trip. You’re more likely to regret not packing one and then someone saying that they wished there was a football in the caravan.

 

Frisbee

It is such a simple and entertaining object that most people would overlook one for a trip where they’ll be spending plenty of time outside. There’s no doubt that it will provide endless hours of entertainment.

 

Rounders

You will fondly remember those days in school when rounders was one of the sports that you played in your PE lessons. It’s a sport that anyone of any skill level can play, so everyone in the family will jump at the opportunity to have at least one match – or even ten!

Camptoo Launches In UK

An innovative platform designed to help more people enjoy motorhome holidays in the UK has launched this month.

Camptoo is the brainchild of Martijn Peeters, who founded the site in the Netherlands four years ago. It’s a way for motorhome owners to rent their vehicles when they’re not in use, and for those who want a weekend away in a campervan to find one that offers greater flexibility than the standard rental options.

There are nearly 1,500 vehicles available to British users, with these motorhomes dotted throughout Europe, FTN News revealed.

Mr Peeters described exploring in a motorhome or campervan as a “truly unique experience”, and one that he wanted more people to be able to enjoy.

“Since you are not tied down by conventional transport schedules you have the opportunity to go with the flow on your travels and encounter sights you would only ever see on the road,” he enthused.

Owners of motorhomes who want to join the Camptoo website can sign up quickly and easily. You simply need to make sure you have the appropriate insurance cover, then put the availability of your campervan, details about its features and any house rules, and the price on the Camptoo website.

Other users can then search based on everything from the size of the motorhome to the pick-up location.

If you’re thinking of sharing your motorhome with others, you may want to invest in some new motorhome equipment in Kent to ensure it’s in top condition before it hits the road.

Given that a growing number of people in the millennial generation are embracing camping as a holiday option, this could be a great way to get a return on your campervan while enabling others who can’t afford their own vehicle to enjoy exploring in this flexible way.

Watch The Skies From Your Campervan

If you have got the best motorhome equipment Kent has to offer then you should make sure you get out this winter to see some of the best celestial events this year has to offer.

First there are the Super Moons. January has two full moons this month, the first at the beginning of the year on 2 January, also known as the Wolf Moon, and the second on the 31st, also known as the Blue Moon.

These are the last two Super Moons of 2018 and are due to the moon passing closer than usual to the Earth.

The final Full Moon of January will also be accompanied by a full lunar eclipse, though this will not be visible from the UK.

While the Super Moons taking place in January are definitely a sight worth getting out to, they will actually obscure one of the other celestial events taking place this month.

The Quadrantids meteor shower is taking place in the first and second week of January, peaking on the 3rd, though it is expected that the light from the full moon is likely to obscure the view of it.

If you are heading out to watch the stars this coming month then do be sure to wrap up warm.

The Met Office long range forecast shows that conditions are likely to be cold and wet. We have provided some tips on how to spend the cold weather in your campervan, so catch up with those before heading out.
