Motorhomes are, by their very nature, limited in space – being able to make the most of the room that is available is key if you’re going to enjoy your time away. It’s all too easy to buy lots of bulky kit, only to find yourself frustrated when you realise that you’ve run out of room for the essentials you need to carry.
The trick to being able to live happily in a small space is to ensure that every product you buy is worth the room it consumes. That’s why I’ve been busy this Prime Day looking for items that do their job effectively, without taking up too much space or payload – here they are!

Six-piece kitchen gadget set was £14.59 now £11.99
I’ve already put one of these neat little kitchen utensil gadgets into my Amazon basket – it’s such a clever product, and will really help to save space. It features a grater for cheese and the like, a grinder for garlic or ginger, a pizza cutter, a peeler and a bottle opener – every utensil you might need on a day-to-day basis, all held together on a handy ring. Additionally, it comes with a folding knife. Everything can be kept together in the attractive hessian bag, too.
General Medi Mini First Aid Kit was £14.59 now £11.99
A first-aid kit is an essential when you’re out on the road, but some of them can be very bulky. Not so this practical little pack, which is currently discounted by 15% on Amazon Prime Day. It may be small, but it contains 92 hospital-grade bits of kit, including an emergency blanket, wipes, a bandage, scissors, sterile pads, plasters, tweezers, tape, instructions and more. It’s all packaged in a smart red bag, and also features a carabiner so you can fix it to a rucksack.
Odoland Camping Kitchen Utensil Organizer Travel Set was £25.99 now £22.99
As well as the six-piece kitchen gadget set (above), I’m also seriously tempted by this utensil pack, which all fits neatly into a carry bag. Included within is a range of kitchen kit that should serve you well for most mealtimes: you’ll get a peeler, a spatula, metal tongs, a metal ladle, a fish slice, a knife, scissors and a plastic chopping board. It’s a handy way to keep all of your kit together, and it’s perfect for alfresco cooking if you’re planning a BBQ.
Campingaz Party Grill CV was £39 now £22.99
There’s a fantastic Prime Day deal on this small gas BBQ, which is perfect if you own a campervan with limited storage space. It features a non-stick griddle – there’s even a wooden spatula included; remove the surface unit and you can use the BBQ as a stove, too. Once you’re done cooking, everything packs away neatly inside the bowl. It’s light in weight as well as being compact: the whole thing weighs less than 3kg. A Campingaz CV 470 Plus gas cartridge is required.
LUXJET Portable Folding Stool was £26.96 now £20.99
One of my relatives owns one of these folding stools, and absolutely loves it – it’s perfect for keeping in the van as an emergency seat or side table, or you can easily pack it in a backpack to take out on day trips. Simply pull the top upwards to extend the unit into a 45cm-tall stool; it packs away again to just 6.5cm deep. It’s strong, too, with a maximum bearing capacity of 180kg. It also has an anti-slip base, and weighs just 1kg.
ROCK CLOUD Portable Camping Chair was £23.99 now £15.99
A good camping chair is a touring essential, but more often than not they require lots of space when you pack them away. Not so the Rock Cloud Portable Camping Chair: it folds down to pack in a small bag that’s just 16 x 6 inches. Despite its compact dimensions it has a maximum capacity of 150kg, and is constructed of high-quality nylon mesh and an alloy frame for extra durability. Handy side pockets are also included, for smaller items.
