Tips to spend the best end of the year in a motorhome
To have the best New Year's Eve in a motorhome recommend plan your route in advance. Although traveling by motorhome gives you a lot of freedom and flexibility, it is advisable that you have an idea of the places you want to visit, the distances you are going to travel, the places where you are going to spend the night, etc. This way, you will avoid unforeseen events, setbacks and last-minute stress.

In Express motorhome we offer you a wide range of motorhomes and campers so you can choose the one you like best and suits you best.
Third tip: Carry everything you need but without going crazy. Traveling in a motorhome means carrying everything you may need during the trip, both for the vehicle and for you and your companions, although many times you will only need the most basic things to enjoy: warm clothing, comfortable shoes, toiletries, food, drinks, a small first aid kit, chargers, etc. When you rent our motorhomes, you can choose the option to include kitchenware and bedding, so you can forget about that part. It is also recommended that you bring a board game, a book, a movie or anything that entertains and amuses you.
