5 Essential Motorhome Spares Every Traveller Should Carry

When you’re miles from the nearest garage or service point, having the right spare parts can make all the difference. Whether you’re a seasoned motorhomer or just starting out, these five spares are the unsung heroes of hassle-free travel:
1. Fuses and Bulbs
It’s amazing how one tiny fuse can bring everything to a halt. Keep a selection of common fuses and spare bulbs on hand to avoid unnecessary headaches.
2. Water Pump
Your onboard water system is only as reliable as your pump. A compact, replacement 12V water pump can be a trip-saver if yours gives out on the road.
3. Light Units & Reflectors
Damaged rear lights or reflectors are both a safety issue and an MOT fail. Stow an extra set just in case.
4. Gas Hose & Regulator
A cracked hose or faulty regulator can put your cooking and heating out of action. Keep a backup set stored safely.
5. Door & Window Catches
They might seem minor, but once one breaks, you’ll notice. Pack a couple of spares to keep your doors and windows secure and rattle-free.
