10 Things To Do Before Your Motorhome Adventure
Whether you are a first time traveller in a motorhome or a frequent motorhome adventurer.
Motorhoming is a rewarding experience giving you the chance to pull up wherever takes your fancy and make the most of Australiaâs diverse landscapes. Our travellerâs tips are sure to settle your nerves and give you confidence to prepare for and enjoy your holiday with us.
Decide What Sort of Holiday Youâre Looking For
The first step is to decide what sort of holiday you want to experience in Australia. Perhaps youâre an adventurer simply looking for a place to sleep or you may be partial to the creature comforts of spacious rooms. Knowing your type of holiday will ensure that you choose the right motorhome for you.
Research Your Travel Route
Some people are happy to throw caution to the wind and hit the open road, letting destiny take them wherever it decides. But, if youâre on a more time-constrained holiday where planning is required then we recommend doing a bit of research. Access our planned itineraries to read the most popular travel routes and read reviews or blogs from other travellers. If you know what youâre going to do during your holiday then it wonât feel as though you rushed.
Book Your Caravan Parks
One of the most frequently asked questions we receive is, âshould we book our caravan parksâ. The answer is yes and no. If youâre going to be travelling during peak season like school holidays, Easter or over the summer season then the answer is YES. Avoid disappointment by locking in your powered site months before you travel. If itâs during the winter months you have the opportunity to wing it a bit more.
Buy a Backpack or Duffle Bag
Suitcases can often be heavy and difficult to store in the motorhome. If you have a backpack or duffle bag, these will be easier to fold and store in the motorhome while youâre travelling.
Watch an Audio Visual Guide
Cruisinâ has developed audio visual guides for our motorhome renters to watch to ensure peace of mind. These guides will be with you through all stages of your holiday offering you a step by step explanation of how everything works.
Talk to Friendly Experts
If you have any questions about your upcoming holiday donât hesitate to pick up the phone and call our friendly reservations team for advice. Weâre happy to supply you with helpful information on where to park, what to bring and where to go.
Pack Your Camera
No holiday is complete without an album jam-packed with family happy photos. Travelling with a motorhome gives you ample opportunity to snap your loved ones in some of the most scenic destinations in Australia. Donât forget to tag â@cruisinmotorhomes & #cruisinmotorhomesâ so we can share your photos on our Facebook and Instagram pages.
Confirm Your Flights
If youâre travelling by plane it is a good idea to confirm your flights before you arrive at the depot. If your flight is delayed or early, our office can update your check in time and send you through a new confirmation. This also gives us the best opportunity to make sure your vehicle is ready when you arrive.
Pack Your Bag
Depending on where you are visiting in Australia, there are a number of things you should always pack in your bag. Bring along sun cream, weather-appropriate clothing, any medications or special needs equipment. Donât forget you can always buy these items on holidays but it will be less stressful if youâre prepared.
Relax!
Most people going on holiday are winding down from their hectic everyday lives. Before you leave, take some time to wind down. Once you hit the freedom of the highway all your daily stresses will fly away! Enjoy!
