Travelling through Europe has been a dream of mine ever since I was in college. I worked for two full years, got in contact with travel agents London UK, and got myself a cheap flight to Copenhagen. From there, we rented a motorhome or an RV, stocked it up with all the supplies we might need there and started our Europe tour.

Though staying at hotels and getting fancy breakfasts in your hotel bed is one cool way to travel. However, nothing helps you learn about a place than renting an RV and driving about the off-beaten places in Europe. These days, motorhomes and camping are becoming so popular that most travellers choose to vacation by motorhome than travelling by car and staying in hotels.
Perks of travelling on an RV
There are plenty of great reasons that RV vacations are becoming so popular, and one of the top reasons is how economical it can be. However, saving money is not the only motivating factor in the recent European motorhome rentals and campsite reservations. It is a fun opportunity to experience parts of your European destination that those who travel by planes or so often miss. Whether it be Finland, France, or the Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark, the best way to take in all of those trees, forests, mountains, lights, sunsets, etc. is by taking an RV and enjoying the view as you sip in some coffee or tea. Plus, you will not have to worry about checking in, time, payment and luggage issues at all. You will be exploring the world at your own pace, time and pleasure.
Where to Stay?
Travellers who take motorhome to explore the unexplored have plenty of places to stay. They are never bound to any one place. In Europe alone, there are more than 3,000 campgrounds designed for RVs. This means you can park your mobile home anywhere. You want a sea view, you have it. You want Mountain View, you have that. And that too, at very low prices as compared to hotels and such.
Nothing to worry about comfort
If you are worried about comfort, well there is no need to be. Rent an RV that is fully equipped, and stock it up with the supplies you might need on the way. Plus, there is plenty of room in the motorhome to stretch out. There are lots of storage space for food and clothing. You can always pack some in a bag, very neatly so it doesn’t take much space. There are also very comfortable beds so you can always take shifts and sleep. Plus you are never getting bored because you can always enjoy a snack, play a board game with your family or friends. If you get tired, you can always take a nice, hot shower before bed because your mobile home on wheels has a great system.
Adventure and Exploring
The best thing about renting out a motorhome or an RV is how fun and adventurous it is. You can never be confined to one scenery or to the adventures of a single town with nearby inns. If you get bored, you can always take it to park somewhere fun and more alluring to you.
Costs and Preparation
As we have discussed before, the best thing about a camper is how much money you can save and not compromising on your fun. If you do not own a camper or an RV, you can always rent one out. There are a number of places that professionals. You can always rent out a very cheap and affordable a camper van that will be both comfortable and have all the supplies you might need on the way. They have enough storage space, the maintenance is good and it is pretty clean. You can TRULY enjoy the freedom of travelling on the road in some of the most desirable European destinations in the world. Now, how you prepare your motorhome so you can start your European tour without resupplying.
Mouse-Proofing
When you are done with the exterior, get inside and start mouse-proofing the RV. If you know anything about the most dangerous diseases, you how dangerous rats or mice are the reason behind it. They are known to be the culprit behind the plague. Check your RV for any cracks, holes or openings that will let a mouse in. The hole should be as little as your finger, which is how the mouse could get in. Yes, they can fit their entire body through a finger-sized hole.
Other than mice, you should also keep the holes closed for other animals, insects and reptiles, such as snakes, squirrels, wasps, mud daubers, spiders, and bees. Their excrement, which they leave everywhere, can be deadly to you. Therefore, fill these holes properly with brass or aluminium wool, which is easier as well as cheaper than cleaning up after them. You can also use insect traps to avoid them from jumping to your RV from over a tree or crawling up when you park it in a forest. Close your vents tightly and look out for nests, hives, or other signs of their manifestation.
Check for things with an expiration date
There are many other things with expiration dates other than food, such as toothpaste, medicines, deodorant, lotions, shampoos, etc. People store and leave them in the small bathroom cupboard which will expire in due time and appeal to rodents and insects. Other than toiletries with an expiration date, tissue, and paper towels are also something insects might find warm and comfortable enough to lay eggs in. Make sure you have checked the tables, chairs, cushions, carpets, and gaps, and wash and bleach them if necessary to kill any bacteria, fungus, and viruses.
Set your RV and hit the road
So, your RV is ready for an epic European road trip. Once it’s all prepared and you have stored in all the things such as food, clothes, ration, and things like tissue, paper towels, toothpaste, medicines, deodorant, lotions, shampoos, and you have checked the electrical system, you can now finally hit the road for an epic adventure.
