Even a master carpenter sometimes makes a mistake — even the most experienced motorhome drivers sometimes forget to retract the awning or close a cabinet. Nine most common mistakeswe make when traveling with a caravan.
You drive too far in too short a time
Many travelers try to do as much as possible in as short a time as possible. But nothing brings greater stress than a fast pace. When you drive 6 hours every day, there is no time for fun or rest.
You bought a vehicle that doesn't suit you
If you jump in headfirst and buy the first vehicle you come across, there is a high probabilitythat it will not suit you.
Problems with the awning
The awning provides shade, protection from rain, and a pleasant outdoor seating area. But a few seconds of strong wind and rainand the awning breaks.
Before driving, you forget to disconnect cables
Have you already seen the motorhome driving on the road dragging an electric cable or sewer hose? Funny idea — when you are not in that situation.
You are in a camp with bad neighbors
Camps are small communities. Consider others.
You pack too much
A spacious motorhome invites you to pack as much as possible. But before packing, think about whether you really need everything. Even motorhomes have weight limits.
You forget to check everything before departure
Before every trip check the vehicle thoroughly — it will save you a lot of potential problems and money.
You won’t defrost the freezer
During long trips, the freezer is priceless. Even worse is the surprise when you find only an icy pantry.
You have no experience driving a motorhome
Motorhomes are not passenger cars — they are tall, long, and heavy. Learning to slow down in the wind, turn, and reverse will take time.
