Clothing, bags, suitcases, luggage… What to bring?

We make sure both the Explorer and Seeker have ample storage for the weight limits allowed by the aviation industry. Choosing what luggage you bring is up to you; when you select hard-shell suitcases and need to store them in the campervan it is, how to say this nicely…; Hard Case!
We advise using soft side lightweight (like the ones in the image here) or (sports)bags that you can fold and stow away.

The weather can be ‘four seasons in a day’: fast changing and vary from crisp in the morning to hot at noon and back to chilly at night. There are even weather forecasts that advise you how many layers you need per day!

Using multiple layers of clothing will prepare you for whatever the weather troughs at you. It will also reduce your baggage and still be warm, dry, and comfortable with the varying conditions.

Be honest, most of the time you end up wearing that favourite T-shirt almost every day, just check your last holiday pictures…
