The technique probably works best if you’re careful. In case you’re new to motorhomes and want to gain more confidence and know how to handle the extra weight, it’s worth your time and money to get additional driver training. In the region, you can take courses at camping clubs, caravan clubs, and HGV training centers. You shouldn’t have to pay for courses that cost more than £200. Even minor collision damage can be expensive.

All passengers must wear a seatbelt and sit at all times in the motorhome. Besides being dangerous, it’s illegal to walk around a moving motorhome. Whenever a child reaches a certain age and size, he or she must be belted into a safety seat or in a booster seat. Child seats can’t be attached to some seats on modern motorhomes with Isofix points.

Motorhome speed limits vary based on size and weight, so knowing them is important. Motorhomes that weigh less than 3050 kg can travel at the same speed as cars on a single lane highway, which is 60mph on a single lane and 70mph on a dual lane. With a trailer, both speeds drop by ten mph. The maximum speed on a motorway is 70 mph for motorhomes under 12 metres long and weighing more than 3050 kilograms. Motorways and dual-lane roads limit heavy vehicles to 60 mpg, while single-lane roads limit them to 50 mpg.

Finally, make sure your motorhome is covered by a comprehensive insurance policy. You might want to add an extra windscreen cover to a motorhome since it has a lot of glass up front.
