I’m guilty of usually leaving my Christmas shopping until the last minute, but this year I’m determined to get it done nice and early – and the Prime Day sale is making it easier than ever.
There are some excellent deals to be had on a wide variety of products. I’ve done the leg work for you, taking a look at the many items on sale to find the ones that I think could actually make good gifts for motorhome owners – or in the case of one, a child who loves touring. I’ve not focused on hugely expensive gifts here, but ones that show a bit of thought and can provide reminders of nice memories throughout the year.

ECO CHIC Reusable Thermal Coffee Cup was £19.99 now £15.99
January can be a slog of a month to get through but a fun reminder of the recipient’s favourite pastime could bring some welcome cheer to proceedings. This lively travel cup is BPA-free and made with stainless steel to give you a product that should prove durable. The leakproof flip locking lid should give you some peace of mind that it will not leak, while it should keep your drinks at the ideal temperature, thanks to its double walled and vacuum insulated design, which maintains hot drinks for up to six hours and cold drinks for up to 12 hours.
Echo Auto (2nd generation) was £59.99 now £39.99
If you and your partner wish you had voice assist built into your motorhome for the drive to your campsite, this Echo Auto could be the next best thing. It was actually one of the top picks of Practical Motorhome editor’s Sarah, and basically brings Alexa into your ‘van’s cabin, so you can listen to your favourite songs hands-free while on the road. The presence of five built-in microphones means there should be no problem being heard over background noise either. You’ll then be able to have an even more enjoyable start to your tours, with your favourite music playing as you go. Over Prime Day it’s available with a huge 30% discount, bringing it down to only £39.99.
Barbie Dream Camper was £129.99 now £47.49
This is something I’m strongly considering buying my niece. Available with a huge 63% saving, the Barbie Dream Camper comes with everything a child could need to recreate on tour life. Open up the smart ‘van – complete with rolling wheels and a two-seat cabin – to find a kitchen, a washroom, a fire pit and a dining area, amongst others, while more than 60 accessories will ensure the imagination can run wild. There’s even a ladder that can be climbed up and a slide which leads into a pool!
Scratch Off Map was £14.95 now £11.21
What better way to commemorate each destination the motorhomer in your life visits than by making a work of art out of it? With this scratch off map, the foil can be scratched off each time a new destination is visited, with the A2 poster eventually giving you a piece of wall art that will also provide reminders of happy memories. Plus it may help you settle on embarking on a tour to a region that it turns out you’ve never visited before. It’s available with a 25% discount over Prime Day, bringing it down to only £11.21.
Hymer B-Class 780T Camper Die-Cast was £19.99 now £14.99
Hymer is a popular brand, topping two categories at our Owner Satisfaction Awards 2024, and this officially licensed B-Class ‘van, made by Majorette, has a design that is based on the original ‘van. It has functioning headlights and interior lighting, with two AAA batteries helpfully included with it. That’s not all – the ‘van also has transparent windows, a fold out satellite dish and rubber tyres too, as well as Mercedes branding on the front.
Camping Road Trips UK was £18.99 now £14.39
This treasure trove of a book features 30 road trips from across the UK, providing plenty of travel inspiration for newcomers and more experienced motorhomers alike. The book, which is written by Practical Motorhome contributor Caroline Mills, provides self-guided tours that will allow ‘van owners to take in some of Britain’s most stunning sights – it could go hand in hand with the scratch off map. With it, you can spend those cold January evenings planning where you’ll be heading off to once the nicer weather is upon us.
