We've just bought our first motor home (2007 Burstner Solano) and we intend to go abroad for a few months around April or May.

The thing is we don't know what equipment/accessories we might/will need.

The only things we have so far are two gas bottles that came with the motor home.

Would appreciate any advice on what we need.

Thanks in advance.

Peter

have a look at this forum section
http://www.motorhomefacts.com/forum-185.html
useful guides to various things, including travelling on the continent.

The main thing to have is some aires / sites guides, a few basic words of various languages, and time Exclamation also2 Red triangles, enough gas to get you there & back (unless you have a refillable system, in which case you can refill at LPG stations).

I would suggest bikes to allow you to investigate places where your motorhome can't go.

Depend on what lifestyle you plan and where you are going to stop, if you intend to use aires etc. or camp sites, if using camp sites your gas useage is likely to be far less as you will most likely take advantage of electric hook up, for this you will need a hook up cable, if "free" or "wild" camping you will need to make a plan to change / refill your gas bottles, the various publications listing either sites or aires will be useful.
As to what else you need, best bet is to look at what you use indoors and think whether or not you need it to live in the van.
