Accessories: Add value for £500
Add value to your motorhome for £500
Rental company Camptoo has come up with a list of some of the most popular accessories which could instantly increase your vehicle's value. The company says owners can make these simple upgrades to their vehicles for a combined cost of just £500. Camptoo used search trend data analysis over the last five years and the number of articles written about each item – all available for £100 or less.
WiFi
Getting a signal is more often than not a problem in the remote areas where many campsites are located, making
WiFi a very handy accessory for keeping in touch with people on your travels. A decent portable WiFi setup will cost about £70 but is invaluable for keeping the family entertained while you’re away.
Portable BBQ
What better way to round off a day of hiking and exploring than firing up the grill! Portable BBQs allow you to do just that. Compact and easy to store away, they take up minimal space in your vehicle and you can use them just about anywhere. A good one can cost as little as £30 – a great investment!
Solar panels
Portable solar panels have become more and more popular with motorhomers over the last few years, providing an environmentally friendly way to use power for all the essentials while you’re on site. Coming in many sizes, price is very much dependent on how big the panels are. On average, you can get portable 100w panels for around £100 – a bargain considering they reduce your carbon footprint and save you money on paying for a power hook up.
Reversing camera
A handy bit of tech for bigger vehicles, reversing cameras are starting to come as standard in a lot of newer models. But if you own an older version, they can be bought for around £50 which could save you a lot of hassle when navigating your way out of a cramped space.
Portable shower
With most motorhomes coming with showers installed as standard, this one is more applicable to campervan owners and could be well worth the £25 investment. Vehicle owners will be well versed in the sometimes sub-par conditions of on-site washing facilities, so having your own shower provides the perfect solution to avoiding the communal area.
And not forgetting...
Other popular accessories found in Camptoo's research included thermal blinds (£30), bike racks (£30), air conditioners (£60), TV aerials (£40) and campervan ovens (£70).
