What equipment is already installed in the campervan and what does this mean for you?
When you rent a motorhome from Campervan, you get most of the essential camping equipment already in the vehicle. Models
Mercedes V Marco Polo and
Ford Transit Nugget Plus include a kitchen with a burner, a fixed toilet and bunk beds for several people. This means you don’t need to carry a tent, cooking utensils or a sleeping mat.
Built-in equipment significantly reduces the logistical effort required for camping in nature. However, for a comfortable trip in Slovenia, where the weather changes quickly, it makes sense to add a few key accessories.
- Kitchen and burner: built into both models; you only bring groceries.
- Fixed toilet: no need to look for restrooms or carry a chemical toilet.
- Beds: suitable for couples or small families; bedding is included.
- Basic insurance and 24/7 assistance: included in the rent.

What additional equipment makes camping in Slovenia truly comfortable?
Slovenian nature offers everything from Alpine valleys to the Adriatic hinterland, but this diversity requires careful preparation. The weather in the mountains can change quickly, so flexible camping equipment is a must, not just a recommendation.
- First aid kit: A must before you leave Ljubljana. Include plasters, disinfectant, elastic bandages and painkillers.
- Multi-purpose tool: Scissors, knife, opener and spoon in one; takes up little space, comes in handy often.
- Spare batteries or portable charger: for phone, headlamp and GPS.
- Waterproof jacket and clothing in layers: Summer nights in the Julian Alps can be cold even in mid-July.
- Headlamp: for movement outside the vehicle at night.
- Cooler bag: for foods that need refrigeration while driving.
- Biodegradable soaps and hygiene products: when washing outdoors, use them at least 70 meters away from water sources.
Before leaving home, check all your equipment. Set up your tent if you’re taking one, test your flashlight, and check the zippers on your sleeping bags. Mistakes discovered at home don’t ruin your trip.
Expert advice: Plan your meals in advance and choose foods that don’t require refrigeration: pasta, rice, dried fruit and nuts take up little space and don’t require refrigeration. Less waste, less logistics.
Sustainable camping is not optional
The principle of “Leave no trace” applies to every camper in the Slovenian natural environment. Take all waste with you. Bury biological waste safely off the ground and away from water sources to protect the natural environment. In nature, making fires is only allowed in designated fire pits; otherwise, use a gas burner. Solar chargers and reusable packaging reduce long-term waste.
What equipment is legally required when camping in Slovenia?
There are some clear rules for camping with a campervan in Slovenia. Camping outside of designated camping areas is prohibited in most public areas without permission from the landowner or municipality. Campers must have basic safety equipment:
- Fire extinguisher: mandatory in every motor vehicle used for accommodation.
- Hazard triangle and reflective vest: standard traffic equipment, mandatory in every vehicle.
- First aid kit: legally required for all vehicles in Slovenia.
- Chemical toilet or fixed toilet: Wastewater may not be discharged into nature; discharge is only permitted at designated locations.
Campervan provides all mandatory safety equipment as part of your
campervan rental. Before you leave, check where the nearest toilet flushing stations are on your planned route.
