10 Tips to Get Your Motorhome Ready for Spring
After months of chilly mornings and some rainy days, spring is finally here — and that means it’s time to roll your motorhome out of hibernation and get ready for new adventures. This season is perfect for road trips: the days are longer, flowers are in bloom, and the weather is mild enough to enjoy the outdoors without the summer crowds.
Whether your plans include coastal weekends, food and wine trails, or family camping trips, a little spring preparation will make your travels smoother and more enjoyable. Here are 10 tips to get your motorhome — and yourself — road trip ready, starting with a few quick TLC tasks to make sure your home on wheels feels fresh and inviting.

Quick Spring Refresh
TIP 1. Give It a Fresh Spring Clean
Start with a wash to remove dust and marks from winter storage. Wipe down windows for those clear scenic views and give the interior a once-over with the vacuum and a damp cloth. Open the doors and windows to let in the crisp spring air — it’s amazing how quickly this makes your motorhome feel like new again.
If you’ve been camping through winter, you’ll probably find this step quicker and easier since your motorhome’s already had regular use.
TIP 2. Check the Essentials
You don’t need to be a mechanic to make sure your motorhome is safe and ready. A quick tyre check, flushing your water tank, and making sure the fridge, stove, and lights are all working will give you peace of mind before hitting the road.
TIP 3. Restock & Refresh
Swap out heavy winter blankets for lighter bedding, restock your pantry with travel-friendly snacks, and maybe add a splash of spring décor — think colourful cushions, a small potted plant, or even fresh flowers in a travel-safe vase. It’s a simple way to make your motorhome feel welcoming for the season ahead.

Spring Destinations
TIP 4. Head for Flower Blooms
Spring is the season for colour, and Australia has no shortage of spectacular floral displays. In Canberra, Floriade bursts into life with more than a million blooms. Western Australia’s wildflower trails offer a rainbow of native plants, while Tasmania’s tulip farms — like Table Cape — are perfect for a scenic drive and picnic.
TIP 5. Coastal Escapes
Beaches are at their best in spring — warmer weather without the summer crowds. Cruise along the Great Ocean Road, find a quiet bay on the NSW South Coast, or set up camp near Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. Park your motorhome, roll out the awning, and enjoy lunch with a sea breeze.
TIP 6. Mountain Fresh Air
Cooler, crisp air makes this the perfect time for mountain getaways. The Grampians in Victoria and the Blue Mountains in NSW offer stunning hikes, lookouts, and plenty of powered campsites. After a day on the trails, retreat to your motorhome for a hot shower and a cosy night in.
TIP 7. Wine & Food Trails
Spring is also harvest season for many fresh ingredients, making food and wine regions extra tempting. Drive through South Australia’s Barossa Valley, Victoria’s Yarra Valley, or Tasmania’s Tamar Valley to taste local produce, sip award-winning wines, and take in the lush, green scenery.

Kid-Friendly & Adult Fun Activities
TIP 8. Motorhome Movie Night
Bring the cinema to your campsite! If you’re staying somewhere with power, set up an outdoor projector under the stars or get cosy inside with the curtains drawn. Pop some corn in your motorhome’s microwave, snuggle into blankets, and enjoy a family favourite or a new release.
TIP 9. Spring BBQ & Picnic Days
Spring’s mild weather is perfect for long, lazy lunches outdoors. Fire up the BBQ at a powered campsite or make use of public picnic spots along your travels. Pack fresh bread, local cheeses, and seasonal fruit — all stored easily in your motorhome’s fridge — for a simple yet delicious spread.
TIP 10. Nature Scavenger Hunt for Kids
Turn nature walks into an adventure by giving the kids a list of things to find — a gum leaf, a feather, a certain flower, or an animal footprint. It’s a great way to keep little travellers entertained while you relax nearby. For adults, swap the scavenger list for a camera challenge and see who can capture the best spring photo.
