Campervan Heroes

Stuart and Helen spent a year travelling from Morocco to Iceland in their VW T3, writing about it each week on their blog at campervanmatters.com This is their top 10 list of ‘hero’ stuff to pack for a year on the road.

We spent 12 months travelling in our VW T3 on a route from the Sahara to Iceland. Packing for the trip was obviously a huge challenge because of the very limited storage space in our bus. With the benefit of hindsight, some of the things we took with us were just excess baggage. My big wooden art box is a good example. It took up a big chunk of space and had to be shifted every night so we could make up the bed yet it was scarcely used. A journey of 21,000 miles through 23 countries when there is so much to see and do, turns out not the best time to take up a new hobby.

What you really need to pack are practical things, items that make daily life on the road easier or more comfortable, or both. So based on our experience over the last year, this is our top 10 list of Campervan hero stuff.
