Our projector that we have in our motorhome is probably our favourite thing about our van. We love it at night when it’s so cosy, we switch on the fairy lights, pull down the projector screen and our motorhome transforms into a mini cinema.
When we got our motorhome we knew fairly quickly that we didn’t want to have a motorhome TV in it, because they can be quite bulky, heavy and also pretty awkward to have in exactly the right position that you want it in.
This is when we started looking into other options of how we could watch TV and decided on a projector, and we’re so glad we did. In our opinion it’s the best way to watch all your favourite shows and movies whilst travelling.
But there’s many projectors out there on the market, so which one should you choose? We’ve gathered up the details of what we think are the 10 best projectors for motorhomes and campervans, so hopefully you’ll find the perfect one for you in this list.

I have always wanted to travel and luckily I always got to travel to some amazing countries while I was growing up with my family and this really encouraged me to continue this and get out into the world on my own when I was older.
My goal growing up was really to see as much of the world as I could, but then I started going to work and really concentrating on my career and travel took a back seat. I still tried to get away a few times a year but I always knew there was an end goal which was to travel as much as possible.
So I got my head down and worked as hard as I could as an e-commerce manager. I have always been techy, I love computers and websites, so that’s where it gave me the idea to start this blog and also have my own web design agency. If you want to check it out or need any help then please take a look rrwebdesign.co.uk (shameless plug there)
But after covid, we both knew this was now the right time to take the leap and go and see the world after being trapped inside our house and working from home for a couple of years. We realised more than ever that you only get one life and you really need to make the most of it and do what you love!
