Through its range of brands, thl has a portfolio of modern vehicles to offer your clients, all designed for comfort and ease of use. There are options to suit solo travellers, through to six-berth models, and all of them promise to be a true home on wheels.

The exact specifications differ by vehicle, but all include comfortable beds, and onboard kitchens with a fridge, gas stove, microwave and sink. Some even feature external slide-out BBQs. The majority of models also feature toilets and showers.  

Your clients can choose from brands including:

maui: Offering newer, premium vehicles, maui vehicles feature high-end finishes and are an excellent choice for discerning families and clients. 
Britz: These motorhomes are a brilliant balance of comfort and competitive pricing, with many specialised layouts with compact 2WDs and rugged 4WD options. 
Apollo: Also offering many distinct layouts for an affordable price, these rentals are popular with families and first-time renters. 
Mighty: Ideal for budget-conscious travellers, these vehicles are slightly older, but offer excellent value.

2. So much is included

Bedding and bath towels are included in the price of a hire, as well as a range of kitchen essentials. This includes crockery, glassware and cutlery, alongside pots and pans, utensils and small appliances, making it easy for customers to jump onboard and hit the road.

3. They’re easy to sell

While a standard holiday to Australia or New Zealand can involve multiple hotels, transport options and highly complex itineraries, with a motorhome, one booking provides both the client’s transport and accommodation. This reduces the need for complicated itinerary planning and negotiating multiple supplier bookings. Plus, as thl’s average rental length is 14 nights, it means one product manages a significant proportion of a client’s stay.

There are so many unique selling points to highlight to customers too. They have freedom and flexibility on their trip, as they can explore at their own pace while enjoying the convenience of having their accommodation with them throughout the journey.

They can design their own itinerary, and change it as they go, whether they want to spend longer somewhere, or discover an exciting new spot to uncover. And of course, they will be immersed in Australia or New Zealand’s epic landscapes, waking up each morning surrounded by stunning scenery, while soaking up the vibrant night sky each evening.

4. They’re hassle-free to book 

When selling a motorhome holiday, expert support is available at every stage. thl’s brands are available through a range of specialist wholesale partners, all of which can advise on the most suitable brand, vehicle layout and budget for each customer, making the booking process simple and stress-free for agents.

And with this support behind them, agents can confidently sell motorhome holidays, knowing they can easily find the answer to any question.  

5. Australia and New Zealand are ideal motorhome destinations

Both countries offer an extensive network of quality holiday parks and campgrounds, with thousands of options available. These are often located close to iconic attractions and scenic destinations, and with so much choice, there are spots to suit all budgets. Clients can opt for luxury beachfront holiday parks with impressive resort amenities, or decide to pull over at a Freedom Camping spot, which are free of charge and often in remote wilderness clearings.

By downloading the thl Roadtrip App, clients can easily see all their campsite options on a map. Encourage them to download the app before their trip, so they can explore the thousands of options available to them. And they can either book their space in advance, or while they are on the road, making planning and travelling on a motorhome holiday a smooth and enjoyable experience.

6. The thl app provides a wealth of support

As well as providing campsite options, the thl Roadtrip App also includes show-through videos and detailed how-to guides for each vehicle. This can help customers when choosing between different models, and also when they have made their choice and want to familiarise themselves with their chosen motorhome before departure. And if they’re on the road and forget how the gas stove works, or how to set up their bed, the app will have the answer.

7. There’s 24/7 support 

If clients have any questions the app doesn’t cover, thl's roadside assistance team is on hand 24/7 to provide expert guidance. They can support with any queries about the vehicle, travelling and more, giving customers peace of mind.

So with the support of thl, a motorhome holiday really is easy to sell, as well as being a seamless and enjoyable holiday for your customers.
