Campervans and Motorhomes are easy to drive, but different to a car. Take things at a steadier pace and try to anticipate braking and cornering to make the journey more comfortable and reduce the number of complaints from the navigators. There is no rush, keep your speed steady until you gain confidence. The following will help:

  • We’ll send you a link for all the How-to videos specific to the vehicle you’ve hired.
  • The first thing you notice is the high driving position which gives you every opportunity to anticipate road conditions ahead; to judge bends and to brake in good time. There is plenty of height and recline adjustment to the seats and you generally adopt a more upright and relaxed driving position.
  • You are bigger than a car and need to move out a little to the middle of the road to avoid overhanging trees on the nearside and allow extra space to avoid cyclists and cars when overtaking.
  • All our campervans have power steering and large mirrors to help with maneuvering. Take a bigger swing when maneuvering, but you will be surprised at the turning circle, which beats many 4×4′s. Reversing is always best done with a passenger on the ground or for you to get out to check the situation before starting.
