Customised trips

What is the best thing about travelling by motorhome? Come on! We know you familiar with the answer: the best thing about caravanning is being able to CUSTOMISE YOUR TRIPS and that's why we know that not all of you are looking for warm places for your summer trips. The possibilities are endless and the world opens its doors to your tastes and needs.

Sun. Summer. Caravanning.

Even so, today we are going to focus on those beach or mountain trips in places where the climate is warm. Are you up for it? If so, we invite you to stay tuned to this post and take note of all the accessories for summer trips during hot weather that we have compiled for you.

It never hurts to have foresight. As you know, we always recommend that you prepare your motorhome trips in advance so that you can enjoy them to the full. Make a list of everything you need and prepare your motorhome to avoid unforeseen events.

Here you will find a list of some of the most useful accessories when travelling by motorhome to destinations where it is hot in summer.

Enjoy the sun safely with the following accessories:

The drop-down awnings installed on your motorhome will allow you to create a shady outdoor space. We recommend that it is aerodynamic, flexible, compact and resistant so that it can protect you from both the sun and summer storms.

Did you know that at Benimar we have models that include an awning as standard? These are the UP MODELS, which you can find in the Tessoro, Sport and Benivan ranges.

In addition to the awning, UP models include solar panels and other options.

Sun shades work as a thermal insulator keeping the temperature inside your motorhome stable. In addition, you will prevent direct sunlight from reaching the glass and prevent the furniture from deteriorating.

Goodbye to prying eyes! With screens for motorhomes as well as preventing the sun's rays from hitting the vehicle directly, you will also increase your privacy.

Which one to choose? It all depends on the size you want, the type of material, the number of panels you want, etc. However, we recommend that you look for one with a carrying bag, as it will be much easier to store, assemble and disassemble it.

Extra cold for your summer motorhome trips!

All Benimar models are equipped with a cabin air conditioning and heating system to achieve the optimum, desired temperature for your caravanning adventures. Even so, if you are one of those who need a little extra cold and to create an "arctic microclimate" inside your motorhome, you have the possibility of incorporating a portable air conditioner into your travels.

We recommend that you choose one that is moderate/small in size and quiet.

Another option for extra coolness on your summer travels are portable fans that you can use both inside and outside your motorhome.

They are compact, easy to transport and some of them have additional functions such as air purification.

All Benimar motorhome kitchens are equipped with a refrigerator, in fact, most of them include large capacity models such as the Amphitryon, Mileo, Tessoro and Sport ranges in which you will find a 140 l fridge with a drawer for 9 x 1.5 l bottles or a 150 l fridge with an independent freezer.

You will have no problem keeping your food and drinks in top condition, BUT if you like to go on excursions, take snacks to the beach, etc. We recommend that you include a cool box and several cold storage accumulator blocks in your list of essentials for your summer trips.

No matter where you are, you can always enjoy your favourite recipes in your motorhome!

Summer, motorhome and barbecue plan? We say yes! Light the flame and enjoy a delicious meal in the open air!

They are easy to use and clean. You will also be able to control the temperature and intensity of the heat better than with a charcoal barbecue, allowing you to cook more comfortably and precisely in the outdoor area of your motorhome.

Three of the most important aspects to take into account when choosing kitchen utensils, glasses, cutlery and crockery for your motorhome trips are lightness, strength and ease of storage.

Look for kitchen accessories made of light but resistant materials such as bamboo or melamine, which can also be stackable and detachable. This will allow you not only to use them in your motorhome, but also to take them with you on your excursions.

This is where your preferences and needs come into play. Choose the leisure accessories that make you feel at home and enjoy your motorhome trips the way you like them.

Here are some examples.

These folding chairs are perfect for taking to the beach, camping or just relaxing outside your motorhome. They are lightweight, easy to transport and fold up compactly, so they take up little space in your vehicle. They are also designed for comfort with their adjustable backrest and armrests.

Our folding tables are the perfect choice if you are looking for a practical, functional solution for your outdoor meals. These tables provide you with a stable, comfortable space to enjoy your meals, picnics or even to use as a work surface. They are easy to assemble and disassemble, take up little space when folded and are made of strong materials to ensure durability.

What better way to to enjoy your free time in your motorhome than with some board and card games? Take the fun with you wherever you go and organise entertaining evenings with your fellow travellers. Whether it's an exciting card game, a classic board game or even a jigsaw puzzle, these games are ideal for creating unforgettable moments and bonding with your loved ones.

If WC hygiene is essential on all motorhome trips, it is even more important in summer. High temperatures mean that you need to take extra care in sewage maintenance.
