It’s that time of year again — misty mornings, crunchy leaves and that unmistakable smell of “someone nearby’s lit their fire 🔥”

Autumn is my favourite season for motorhome trips. Quieter roads, stunning scenery (especially when the leaves have all changed)… and the perfect excuse to get warm & cosy when it's raining outside.

I don't tend to change much of my gear in my motorhome between Spring/ Summer and Autumn, but there are definitely a few things which get much more use at this time of year.

Here are some of my Autumn essentials:

⚡ Power & Warmth

• EcoFlow Power Station – My off-grid lifesaver. Keeps everything running — laptops, heated blankets, even the toaster. You'll find with shorter days that batteries don't recharge so quickly, so having a top-up battery like an Ecoflow will help enormously. This is the one I use most but they do a bigger version if needed
• 12V Heater – Ideal for taking the chill off first thing in the morning. I use this a lot when I don't want to use the motorhome heating.
• Electric Heated Blanket – I ADORE my electric blanket. Over the past few years whilst touring in Autumn, I've used it every single night. Yes, even up in the mountains (powered by a small Ecoflow like this).
• Heated Fleece Throw – If you prefer a throw you can use for outside (or have both!) This one is heated and makes sitting outside on chilly nights so much nicer. Again, run it off a small Ecoflow.

🕯️ Autumn Lighting & Decs

If you're feeling autumnal, here are some fun ways to decorate your house or motorhome:

• Flickering Camping Lanterns – These are brilliant for evenings outside and look so pretty
• Pumpkin String Lights – I adore these lights- perfect for an easy Halloween feel to your campervan. (And battery powered, so no need to charge!)
• Autumn wreath – Want to spruce up (pun intended!) your door? This Autumn wreath is perfect (just don't drive with it on the outside of your motorhome door!)
• If you want something ridiculously cute for your home or camper, get one of these little ghost reading lights. It's adorable!

👕 Practical Clothing for Autumn

• Dryrobe / Changing Robe – Perfect for strolls on the beach, late night dog walks or throwing on to go to the shower. Heck, I've worn mine to restaurants to avoid getting wet.
• Thermal Hiking trousers – Not glamorous but essential. I live in these once the temperature drops- and they dry so much quicker than jeans.
• Fleece lined clogs – Also not glamorous but these are so comfy to throw on for a shower or a quick dog walk and keep your feet warmer than normal ones. And they don't mind being muddy/ cleaned.
• Talking of wet shoes, THESE are amazing whether for warming slippers or drying out wet shoes. I use mine almost every day
  

🐾 Autumn Doggy Essentials

• Portable Mud Daddy Washer – For the times a towel dry won't cut it- this is a life saver. It's also great for cleaning walking boots and wellies
• Waterproof dog blanket – This throw/ blanket is quick-drying, thick and brilliant for lying on the bed before a soggy doggy leaps onto it!
• If you only treat your home or motorhome to one thing, get one of these. It's brilliant for stopping a lot of the mess before it even gets inside.
• Not Autumn related, but I've spoken a lot about the calming collar I used with Mac when we started travelling and he was anxious. This is the one- it smells lovely and worked so well.

🌟 Other essentials for house or camper

• If you struggle with condensation, or have a lot of windows to clean, I cannot recommend this highly enough.
• As the nights draw in, many of us prefer a heartier meal. But cooking in a camper isn't always easy. This is the perfect solution!​
• I tried MANY 12v hairdryers (none of them worked great) but this is a good solution for anyone who doesn't like going out in the cold with wet hair
• ​This is one of THE best carpet and upholstery cleaners I've ever tried. Whether you want to smarten up your sofas before Christmas or give the motorhome seats a deep clean, this is more than up to the task!
• 'Tis the season for warm drinks. If you like coffee on the go, grab one of these top-rated portable coffee makers.

Happy Autumnal Adventures,
