<\/a><\/div>\nThe Essentials: What Every Campervan Needs (But Many Forget)<\/b><\/h2>\n Packing light is an art. Packing smart is a science. Here\u2019s how to do both.<\/span><\/p>\nCamping & Van Life Basics<\/b><\/h3>\n Even if your campervan rental in Tenerife comes equipped with the basics, there are some things you\u2019ll want to bring to <\/span>make life on the road easier, more comfortable, and a whole lot more enjoyable.<\/b><\/p>\n\nDeep & shallow plates (x4)<\/b> \u2013 Because spilling soup in your van is a nightmare.<\/span><\/li>\nCutlery & cooking utensils<\/b> \u2013 Sporks? Not enough.<\/span><\/li>\nSharp knife & cutting board<\/b> \u2013 Chopping fresh market produce just hits different.<\/span><\/li>\nEspresso maker<\/b> \u2013 Because Tenerife mornings deserve great coffee.<\/span><\/li>\nSalad bowl & spinner<\/b> \u2013 Salads get sandy at the beach. This helps.<\/span><\/li>\nThermos flask<\/b> \u2013 Keeps coffee hot, keeps hiking hydration cold.<\/span><\/li>\nReusable water bottles<\/b> \u2013 Tap water is drinkable, but staying hydrated is key.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nReality check:<\/b> While some campervan rentals include a basic kitchen setup, not all of them do. Double-check your van\u2019s inventory before you land in Tenerife.<\/span><\/p>\nComfort & Sleep Essentials<\/b><\/h3>\n This is where things go from “I survived” to “I thrived.”<\/span><\/p>\n\nFitted sheets<\/b> \u2013 Because wrestling with a flat sheet in a camper is pure chaos.<\/span><\/li>\nExtra blanket<\/b> \u2013 Nights in the mountains get chilly.<\/span><\/li>\nCamping chairs<\/b> \u2013 Not all vans provide them, and Tenerife\u2019s landscapes demand them.<\/span><\/li>\nPicnic blanket<\/b> \u2013 Beach stops? Sunrise breakfasts? Yes.<\/span><\/li>\nSmall tent<\/b> \u2013 A game-changer for <\/span>extra storage<\/b> or spontaneous wild camping.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nPower & Navigation Must-Haves<\/b><\/h3>\n Tenerife is an island. But that doesn\u2019t mean you won\u2019t get lost.<\/span><\/p>\n\nHeadlamp or torch<\/b> \u2013 Because phone batteries die, and campsite toilets are never close.<\/span><\/li>\nPower bank<\/b> \u2013 A dead phone = no maps, no music, no photos.<\/span><\/li>\nTravel adapter<\/b> \u2013 Spanish plug sockets, in case you forgot.<\/span><\/li>\nBasic tool kit<\/b> \u2013 Flat tires, loose screws, things happen.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nTenerife\u2019s Unique Climate: Why Packing Right Matters<\/b><\/h2>\n This island is a meteorological contradiction.<\/span><\/p>\nOne minute you\u2019re sweating on a volcanic beach, the next you\u2019re hiking through misty forests, and by nightfall, you’re shivering at <\/span>3,000 meters above sea level.<\/b><\/p>\n Welcome to <\/span>Tenerife\u2019s microclimates.<\/b><\/p>\nSun, Sea & Beach Essentials<\/b><\/h3>\n You <\/span>will<\/b> spend a lot of time outside. Make sure you\u2019re ready for it.<\/span><\/p>\n\nHigh SPF sunscreen<\/b> \u2013 The sun here doesn\u2019t play.<\/span><\/li>\nAfter-sun lotion<\/b> \u2013 Just in case you ignored the first point.<\/span><\/li>\nQuick-dry towels<\/b> \u2013 Because wet, sandy towels in a camper? Not ideal.<\/span><\/li>\nSnorkeling gear<\/b> \u2013 The underwater world of Tenerife is not to be missed.<\/span><\/li>\nDay backpack<\/b> \u2013 Because carrying sunscreen in your hand gets old, fast.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nMountain & Hiking Must-Haves<\/b><\/h3>\n Hiking in Tenerife is <\/span>not optional<\/b>\u2014it\u2019s essential. Whether it\u2019s a sunrise trek up Mount Teide or exploring <\/span>Anaga\u2019s cloud forests<\/b>, these are the things you need:<\/span><\/p>\n\nHiking boots<\/b> \u2013 No, sneakers are not enough.<\/span><\/li>\nLight jacket<\/b> \u2013 Even in summer, mountain nights get cold.<\/span><\/li>\nLong-sleeve UV shirts<\/b> \u2013 Sun protection + lightweight comfort.<\/span><\/li>\nHat or cap<\/b> \u2013 Sun exposure in high-altitude hikes is serious.<\/span><\/li>\nDry bags<\/b> \u2013 For sweaty clothes, wet swimsuits, or accidental downpours.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/p>\n
