Welcome to Amazon Prime Day!
*We work hard to make this the best motorhome blog and road trip website possible, full of helpful content for you. The website is supported by our readers, so if you buy through links on this site we may earn a commission- at no extra cost to you. All opinions remain our own.
If you find this post useful, you can also treat us to a coffee at the bottom of this page- we promise to enjoy it while creating more useful content like this- we might even indulge in a biscuit (or two!)
I love this day- it’s literally bigger than Black Friday. It’s a once-a-year sale from Amazon with THOUSANDS of products on sale. Like, 100,000 products.Â
And there are decent things on there too- last year we got a handheld Dyson at nearly half price and LOADS of bits for the motorhome.Â
I’m a Prime member (you have to be to get access to the deals) and I’ve found it’s definitely worth the money. We buy a LOT through Amazon, and just in the postage savings alone we’ve more than covered the £7.99 monthly fee. That’s before you get started on the free movies, LOADS of boxsets and Amazon Exclusive shows (Hello, Outlander!)
At the moment, you can get a 30-day FREE trial which nicely covers Prime Day (see below). So it’s the PERFECT time to try out Prime, save a LOT of money before Christmas and see if it’s right for you.
What is Prime Day and how does it work?
In 2022, Prime Day runs for 48 hours on 12/13 July
The important thing to remember is that the deals DO NOT all last for all of those 2 days.
Oh no.
They are either time-sensitive and last only a few hours, or there is only limited stock- when they’re gone, they’re gone!
Like, seriously gone.
I’m going to be keeping my eye out for great deals for motorhoming, campervanning, road trips and other travel goodies and I’ll share them here for you to make it easier to find AMAZING deals.
What to do
Before we get to the deals, there are some simple steps you need to take if you want to take advantage.

- Electrical items for motorhomes/ campers/ caravans (TVs, Sat-Navs, Reversing Cameras etc)
- Electrical items for road trips/ travel (Drones, GoPros, Kindles etc)

Head back here to see what new products are going on sale each day. Don’t forget, this is the BEST time to buy Christmas presents, so have a think about what people on your list might enjoy and see what’s on sale for them.
Most deals aren’t announced until the actual Prime day, but there are many ‘early-bird’ opportunities for you.
Did you know Amazon does ‘Deal of the Day’ every day? LOADS of fantastic offers on useful products- you can find them here.
On the same page, you’ll find Prime Early Access deals, which change regularly. I’ve literally just treated myself and Mac to a couple of fantastic offers. You can see ‘Upcoming Deals’ on the same page and filter up active or ‘upcoming’ deals, which you can then watch and get alerts when they go live.
Of course, I can’t guarantee exactly what will be on sale when, but I’ve tried to make it as easy as possible to find the best deals for products you want.

I’ve also linked to specific products which were on sale last year – and therefore have a GREAT chance of being on sale again! (Unlike other sales, the trend seems to be that if a product is in Prime Day one year, you’ll see it in the sale again next year.)

We feel an inverter is essential, especially if you’re going to be staying off-grid with your van

Kindle
The Kindle is one of the BEST travel accessories EVER! Seriously, if I forgot mine I’d turn around and go back for it!
You can also use the Kindle app on an iPad, so you don’t need to buy a dedicated Kindle, but if you don’t have an iPad it’s a wonderful way to take books with you!
