Want to save money on THOUSANDS of products? You’re in the right place…
Amazon Prime Day is brilliant. If you’re new to the concept, it’s a day (or two!) when THOUSANDS of products on sale. Like, 100,000 products.
And not just rubbish stuff either.
Over the years we’ve bought a handheld Dyson at nearly half price, camping chairs, electrical stuff and LOADS of bits for the motorhome.
*We work hard to make this the best motorhome blog and road trip website possible, full of helpful content for you. The website is supported by our readers, so if you buy through links on this site we may earn a commission- at no extra cost to you. All opinions remain our own.
If you find this post useful, you can also treat us to a coffee at the bottom of this page- we promise to enjoy it while creating more useful content like this- we might even indulge in a biscuit (or two!)
How Amazon Prime Day works
In 2022, Prime Day runs for 48 hours on 11/12 October.
So, to get access to the deals you MUST be an Amazon Prime Member (sign up here.)
Once you’re signed up, you just log into Amazon as usual (you can use this link to get the the deal page) and then shop as usual. Discounts will be auto-magically applied.
The important thing to remember is that the deals DO NOT all last for all of those 2 days.
Oh no. They are either time-sensitive and last only a few hours, or there is only limited stock- when they’re gone, they’re gone!
I’m going to be keeping my eye out for great deals for motorhoming, campervanning, road trips and other travel goodies and I’ll share them here for you to make it easier to find AMAZING deals.
You MUST be a Prime Member, so sign up here – it takes less than 5 minutes.
30 day FREE trial
At the moment, you can get a 30-day FREE trial which nicely covers Prime Day.
Yup, you could sign up for the free trial, save £££ on the deals, and then cancel your membership before the end of the trial and not pay a penny.

POWER!
All the different ways to get power in your motorhome or campervan
Inverter
We feel an inverter is essential, especially if you’re going to be staying off-grid with your van
Powerbanks
Powerbanks are crazy useful if you’re staying off-grid. You can get small ones for phones/ iPads, or larger ones for laptops. We have both types and use them almost every trip!

Pivo Pod– Helps me film videos 🙂
Kindle
The Kindle is one of the BEST travel accessories EVER! Seriously, if I forgot mine I’d turn around and go back for it!
You can also use the Kindle app on an iPad, so you don’t need to buy a dedicated Kindle, but if you don’t have an iPad it’s a wonderful way to take books with you!
