Our top Motorhome gadgets for 2025
1.Garmin Camper 1095 Sat Nav
Why I love it:
I can’t tell you how many times this thing has saved me from reversing half a mile down a country lane. Last summer in Devon, I ignored it once (“I know a shortcut!”) and ended up nose-to-nose with a tractor. Never again.
The big screen is lovely if your eyes aren’t what they used to be (join the club), and the way it suggests campsites and fuel stops takes a load off your mind.
Approx. Price: £500–£600
Ratings:
⭐ Value for Money: 4.5/5 – A bit of an investment, but so much less stress
⭐ Ease of Use: 5/5 – Really straightforward menus
⭐ Overall Usefulness: 5/5 – Can’t imagine touring without it
User Review:
“We used to dread getting lost, but this makes it a breeze.” – Dave, Lancashire
2. TP-Link M7350 4G Wi-Fi Router + External Antenna
Why it’s brilliant:
I tried to rely on campsite Wi-Fi for years—never again. It’s always overloaded or barely works beyond reception. I picked up this little router, popped a data SIM inside, and suddenly I’m streaming Netflix in the Lake District with no problem.
The antenna is worth every penny—just stick it on the window or side of the van, and your signal bars shoot up.
Approx. Price: £75–£100 router + £30–£60 antenna
Ratings:
⭐ Value for Money: 4/5 – Small monthly SIM cost, but priceless convenience
⭐ Ease of Use: 4.5/5 – Setup took about 10 minutes
⭐ Overall Usefulness: 5/5 – Makes remote trips so much easier
User Review:
“We’ve watched Netflix in the middle of nowhere thanks to this.” – Sarah, Devon
3. Jackery SolarSaga 100W Folding Solar Panel
Why it’s handy:
I’m not one for rooftop installations—too much faff and cost. But this folding panel? Brilliant. I just unfold it in the morning, angle it towards the sun, and it tops up my power station while I go for a walk.
One weekend in Wales, we ran the fridge, lights, and charged all the phones without even thinking about hook-up. It’s that simple.
Approx. Price: £250–£300
Ratings:
⭐ Value for Money: 4.5/5 – Costs a bit, but saves hassle in the long run
⭐ Ease of Use: 5/5 – Unfold, plug in, done
⭐ Overall Usefulness: 4.5/5 – Fantastic for longer stays off-grid
User Review:
“We stayed off-grid for 5 days without dropping below 80% battery.” – Paul, Norfolk
4. AMZCHEF Portable Induction Hob
Why I recommend it:
I used to avoid cooking indoors when we were on hook-up because the old gas rings always felt a bit, well…faffy. This little induction hob changed everything.
It heats a pan in seconds (you’ll wonder why you didn’t try it sooner) and wipes clean with a cloth. If you like a cooked breakfast without messing about with gas bottles, this is for you.
Approx. Price: £45–£70
Ratings:
⭐ Value for Money: 5/5 – Bargain for how much you use it
⭐ Ease of Use: 5/5 – Plug it in and go
⭐ Overall Usefulness: 4/5 – Especially handy at campsites
User Review:
“So much easier than gas, and no faffing about with bottles.” – Claire, Kent
5. Shark Cordless Handheld Vacuum (WV200UK)
Why it’s a lifesaver:
I swear the second you open your van door, the whole world’s supply of crumbs, grass, and dog hair rushes inside. This Shark vacuum lives in my cupboard, always charged, and I grab it nearly every day.
One quick blast around the floor and it feels fresh again—no need to drag out the big hoover when you get home.
Approx. Price: £120–£140
Ratings:
⭐ Value for Money: 5/5 – You’ll use it constantly
⭐ Ease of Use: 5/5 – Lightweight and simple
⭐ Overall Usefulness: 5/5 – Essential for tidy campers
User Review:
“Does a full clean in 10 minutes – brilliant bit of kit.” – Mike, Essex
6. TyrePal Solar Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
Why it’s smart:
A slow puncture is one of those things you don’t notice until it’s too late. I got this system after a friend had a blowout on the M5—it screws straight onto your tyre valves and tells you the pressure live.
If you do long drives, it’s peace of mind that’s hard to put a price on.
Approx. Price: £30
Ratings:
⭐ Value for Money: 4/5 – Sensible safety measure
⭐ Ease of Use: 4.5/5 – Just screw on the sensors
⭐ Overall Usefulness: 4.5/5 – Big reassurance
User Review:
“Spotted a slow leak and saved us from being stranded.” – Becky, Cumbria
7. LE Rechargeable LED Camping Lantern
Why I love it:
This lantern has been on every trip for the last two years. It’s perfect for sitting out under the awning or just getting around the van when everyone’s asleep.
Bright enough to see what you’re doing but doesn’t feel like you’ve switched on stadium floodlights. And you can charge it from a USB port—no more fiddling about with batteries.
Approx. Price: £20–£30
Ratings:
⭐ Value for Money: 5/5 – Cheap and versatile
⭐ Ease of Use: 5/5 – Click and go
⭐ Overall Usefulness: 4/5 – Handy in all sorts of situations
User Review:
“Great for sitting out after dark and never runs out of juice.” – Andy, Wales
8. 12V Heated Travel Mug
Why it’s great:
A bit of a luxury, maybe—but when you’ve set off before sunrise, a hot cuppa can feel like the best thing in the world.
This mug plugs into your 12V socket and keeps your brew warm for hours. Mine lives in the cup holder, ready for early starts.
Approx. Price: £20–£30
Ratings:
⭐ Value for Money: 5/5 – Little spend, big comfort
⭐ Ease of Use: 5/5 – Plug in and enjoy
⭐ Overall Usefulness: 4/5 – Simple pleasure
User Review:
“Coffee stays hot all the way to our next stop – love it!” – Liz, Cornwall
9. Tile Mate Bluetooth Tracker (2022)
Why you need it:
You haven’t lived until you’ve spent 20 minutes tearing the van apart for your keys…then found them in your coat pocket.
These trackers are tiny but brilliant—attach one to your keys or wallet and ping them from your phone in seconds.
Approx. Price: £15–£25
Ratings:
⭐ Value for Money: 5/5 – Stress saver
⭐ Ease of Use: 5/5 – Quick setup
⭐ Overall Usefulness: 4.5/5 – Saves your sanity
User Review:
“No more tearing the van apart looking for keys.” – Steve, Dorset
10. Joseph Joseph Pocket Folding Space-Saving Tabletop Ironing Board
Why it’s a winner:
I know—an ironing board doesn’t sound exciting. But hear me out: when you’re living in a small space, clothes get creased fast. This clever folding board sits neatly in a cupboard or under a seat and pops open in seconds.
It’s perfect for freshening up shirts before dinner out or sorting out a wrinkled top you’ve pulled out of a packing cube. Plus, it has a heat-resistant silicone pad for your iron, so you don’t have to balance it on the kitchen worktop.
One of those things you don’t realise you’ll use all the time until you have it.
Approx. Price: £50–£65
Ratings:
⭐ Value for Money: 4.5/5 – Not the cheapest, but brilliantly designed
⭐ Ease of Use: 5/5 – Pops open and folds away in seconds
⭐ Overall Usefulness: 4/5 – Great for tidier travel clothes
User Review:
“So handy for quick touch-ups—takes up hardly any space.” – Carol, Suffolk
Pair your WiFi kit with a PAYG SIM card (e.g. Smarty, GiffGaff, EE Flex) so you only pay for internet when you’re not there.
