The Motorhome Blog
Welcome to the motorhome blog from Comfort Insurance!
As motorhomers ourselves, we are constantly learning new tips from and sharing our own experiences with the wider community and with new friends we meet while out on the road.
That's why we started this motorhome blog - as a place for our customers to find useful resources which can help them to get even more out of the motorhome lifestyle.
Here at Comfort, we understand that there will be some reservations with taking your family away on a motorhome trip for the first time, but they are actually fantastic because of the freedom and flexibility they give. Our blog posts will cover everything you need to know about motorhoming with the family and kids.

Motorhome Reversing Sensors
Some of us are better at parking than others, there’s no doubt about it. Some people can nip into any space in no time at all but for others the pressure of a big vehicle and oncoming traffic are a little overwhelming. Nowadays, though, there are all sorts of gadgets to help you get the…
Motorhome Batteries
Whoever invented the automobile battery did an excellent job and the system really is very clever. The idea that running the engine or a vehicle could recharge the batteries and provide low voltage energy to all kinds of fixtures really changed the way we think about motor travel and brought a whole new dimension of…
Motorhome Water Damage
Despite the apparent drought we’re undergoing at the moment, it doesn’t feel like it’s stopped raining for a long time! Of course, a British camping holiday, whether you’re under canvas, in a motorhome or in a campervan, wouldn’t be complete without a spot of rain, but when the rain comes down hard it is possible…
Air Conditioning for Motorhomes
Whether you’re someone who enjoys travelling through different climates or just taking your chances with the British summer, managing heat is really important.
