Perfect for families or larger groups who want a homey base for venturing out each day.

A Class B campervan is your champion! These agile beauties are perfect for conquering narrow, scenic routes and hidden gems. They typically have convertible beds, efficient kitchens, and wet baths, offering a simpler living space without compromising comfort.

The ideal size depends on your travel companions, weather expectations, and planned activities. For smaller groups or those prioritising agility on narrow roads, a compact campervan might be perfect. If you're a larger group or desire ample amenities like awnings and storage, a spacious motorhome offers more comfort. Remember, weight limits exist for each motorhome size, so factor that in while choosing.

While iconic landmarks like the Cliffs of Moher and Connemara National Park are must-sees, consider incorporating hidden gems and charming villages for a richer experience. Here are some tips:

Strike a balance

Include iconic locations alongside off-the-beaten-path spots.

Be realistic

Factor in daily travel distances to avoid feeling rushed.

Book campsites

Secure reservations at campsites with amenities, especially during peak season.

Explore wild camping options

Research designated wild camping spots if you're feeling adventurous, and always adhere to local regulations. Helpful resources include websites, Facebook groups, and the Park4night app.

Be prepared for all types of weather! Here's a handy checklist:

• Lightweight outdoor chairs
• Foldable table
• Portable grill or BBQ
• Basic cooking supplies
• Adapter for Irish plugs (if applicable)
• Warm clothing and waterproof gear

Absolutely! Here are some key points to remember:

Navigation

Be prepared for narrow, winding roads. Invest in a motorhome-friendly GPS and practice defensive driving.

Fuel stations

Download a fuel station app to locate petrol stations and LPG refill points, especially in remote areas. Consider carrying extra fuel for peace of mind.

Weather

Irish weather can be unpredictable. Check forecasts regularly and adjust plans as needed. Ensure your motorhome has appropriate windshield wipers and headlights for low-visibility conditions.

Etiquette

Respect local communities, adhere to parking regulations, avoid littering, and support local businesses whenever possible.

Motorhome maintenance

Get a pre-trip maintenance check and familiarise yourself with basic maintenance tasks. Pack a toolkit for minor repairs.
