The Most Comprehensive Camper Packing List On The Internet

A Complete camper packing list

The most comprehensive camper packing list on the internet… maybe! This is your one stop shop to ensure that your campervan packing list has everything you need on it. 

The beauty of a motorhome or campervan is that actually you can leave a lot of stuff in it 24/7 to reduce the time to pack up before heading off.

In fact, anything non perishable can live in the van, and if you buy duplicates of accessories you have in the house to leave in the van it also reduces that chances of forgetting stuff (e.g. don’t take your dustpan and brush each time, buy the van its very own dustpan – exciting stuff!). 

You don’t need all of the items included in this list, we certainly don’t, this is just designed to cover all eventualities. 

Below is our complete list,  and here is our FREE Motorhome Packing List that we use as a tick sheet for each time we’re packing up to go for items that don’t live in the van. Feel free to take a copy and modify it for your own requirements.

If you’re new to motorhome or campervan life read our complete introduction to & top tips for motorhome life here. 

Once you’ve got your essentials sorted out then make sure you check out our Top Motorhome Accessories for those extra bits and bobs to make your trips extra special and our complete guide to motorhome cooking essentials!
