Why I love Amazon Prime
I’m in Ireland, on an epic road trip with my motorhome and my over-excited cocker spaniel.
My water hose, it turns out, is not! ๐ฑ
๏ปฟI’m not 100% sure where it left us (one would presume at the last place I filled up the tank) but I can assure you of two things:
- ๏ปฟ1- it doesn’t really matter where it is, it’s not flipping here
- 2- I’ve forgotten to replace the collapsible jug I use for emergency fresh water top-ups after I accidentally used it for waste water…
Urgh.
All in all, my options for getting fresh, clean drinking water in my van are limited, especially as it’s St Patrick’s day weekend and the entirety of Ireland is in the pub (aka- I can’t go to a shop).
Enter, Amazon Prime
Within 24 hours I have a new shiny water hose delivered (you can use a campsite address or a collection point when touring).
I also ordered another bag of hose connectors too because they are always handy (and also seem to disappear rapidly while touring!)
This has happened a few times whilst I’ve been travelling in my motorhome. Forgotten chocks. Broken electric cable. Lost sunglasses!
Being able to get so many things delivered to wherever you are within 24 hours (in the UK/ Ireland) has been SO useful, especially when you also don’t need to pay for postage.
On TOP of that, Amazon Primeย also gives you access to loads of top TV shows & movies (which you can download on your home wifi and watch whilst travelling- saying on data usage), plus music, podcasts and much more.ย
Even better? As an Amazon Prime member, you get FREE access to Amazon Prime Day, the next one of which is October 10th and 11th 2023 (yes, I know that’s two days!)
In a rush? Here are the quick links to my favourite products:
What is Amazon Prime Day?
If you’re new to the concept, Amazon Prime Day is a day (or two!) when THOUSANDS of products are reduced in price across Amazon.
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.
In fact, the deals are usually so good that I tend to save up my shopping list, just in case I can get a great bargain on something I was going to buy anyway!
How to get the deals for FREE
To take advantage of the discounts, you MUST be an Amazon Prime member (sign up here.)
But before you sigh in disappointment, you can get a 30 day FREE trial of Amazon Prime, which will give you FREE access to ALL the deals which happen over Amazon Prime Day.
Then, if you don’t think it’s worth it for you, you can just cancel you membership and it’s cost you NOTHING. Winner-Winner.
You MUST be a Prime Member, so sign up here – it takes less than 5 minutes.
BONUS MONEY-SAVING TIP: Are you a student? You can get a 6-MONTH trial of Amazon Prime right HERE!

How Amazon Prime Day works
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.
