ALTHOUGH many people use a combination of car and hotel for business trips it can actually be much more suitable to hire a motorhome from a reputable company. There’s a wide choice of motorhomes available on Erento and there are some very good reasons to choose one.

1) A home from home

These days most hotel rooms have en-suite bathrooms but for pretty much everything else guests need to go out of their rooms to use communal facilities. This means that whether they like it or not, they’re on show to the world at large. Hotel guests can’t just eat in their pyjamas or old t-shirt like they can in a motorhome, nor can they cook their favourite foods just how they like them.

2) A safe and comfortable home office

Sadly theft of equipment and documentation is rife in hotels. Motorhomes are much more secure places to work. Plus it’s easy to set up a home office to individual tastes. These days it’s simple to use dongles or Mifi devices to get internet on the move so it’s straightforward to get online from a motorhome and a lot cheaper than internet access in many hotels.

3) Comfort at an affordable price

Hotels have a trapped audience and they know it. Whether it’s laundry, meals or drinks at the minibar, everything is more expensive if bought in a hotel and many hotels discourage or simply ban guests from bringing in purchases made elsewhere (some hotels charge corkage on drinks bought from outside the hotel). Motorhome users can buy what they want, where they want without having to explain themselves.

4) Visitors welcome

Although business trips are mainly for business, it can be very convenient to know that it’s possible to have a guest any time without anyone questioning it. Whether it’s a colleague who needs to help you with an essential piece of work or an old friend you happened to bump into, nobody will interrogate a motorhomer about their visitor.

5) Huge choice of locations

With a motorhome, it’s as easy to be in the heart of the action as it is to have some breathing space out of it.
