How to Be Eco-Friendly On Your Next Campervan Trip

Is there anything more enriching to the soul than getting out and spending time in Ireland’s many beautiful outdoor spaces? At LHK, our campervan insurance customers love their trips away, with so many great places to visit, from Killarney National Park to Giant’s Causeway. 

Naturally, it’s important to protect these amazing outdoor spaces for future generations to enjoy. In this blog, we look at some of the things you can do to ensure that the campervan trips you take have little to no impact on the environment. 

Tips for Leaving Nature as You Find It

Want to get better at leaving the wild as you find it? Try some of these handy tips to ensure that your time away isn’t at the expense of Mother Nature. 

Switch to Solar Powered Chargers?

Instead of using gas-powered generators that create carbon dioxide, which can contribute to climate change issues, why not consider one of the growing numbers of solar-powered chargers for your lighting and cooking needs? Nothing is more natural than the sun, right?

Keep Your Waste to a Minimum 

When you think of the amount of waste that gets generated on camping trips, it can really add up! While it might be difficult to create none at all, taking reusable cutlery, plates, and cups can majorly cut down on how much you produce, making it easier to keep on top of. 

Leave No Trace Behind 

If there’s one principle that’s shared by most eco-conscious campervanners, it’s to ensure that you leave campsites as you find them. That means bagging up your rubbish, not causing any damage to vegetation or trees and also taking your food scraps with you. It’s also plain courtesy, as you wouldn’t want someone else to leave it like that for you. 

Respect Local Wildlife 

If you’re out on a hike in the local area, remember that you’re a guest in these rural locations. As such, you should refrain from feeding any livestock you come across and do your utmost to avoid scaring or disturbing any natural habitats you find.

Keeping What’s Important to You Safe On Your Travels 

When you’re heading out into Ireland’s wonderful green spaces, having a focus on eco-friendliness is essential for everyone and the animals that call these places home. Something else that’s essential is camper insurance which protects your vehicle and everything that’s important to you inside.
