The golden motorhome packing checklist
A motorhome is essentially a mobile home — and our Bürstner T 726 G comes equipped with all the basics: chairs, table, water connection hose, electric cable, gas, bed linen and insurance. So what do you still need to pack?
We put this checklist together based on the experience of hundreds of customers. Print it out, tick it off and get in.

Final tips
**Do not overpack.** A motorhome has limited storage. Fewer things = more room for experiences.
**Buy food on the way.** Local markets and supermarkets are part of the experience. You do not need to stock up for the entire trip.
**Fill up with fuel before you leave.** We hand over our vehicles with a full tank — please return them full too.
