Are motorhomes hard to drive?
The short answer is no - our vans are equipped with enough power to make driving a motorhome feel like driving a ute. However, any road trip (car or motorhome) requires attentiveness and caution, especially on winding roads and in remote areas. Follow these safety tips to ensure a safe and enjoyable journey:
Get familiar with your campervan: Before setting off, take time to understand your campervan's size, height, and blind spots.
Use your rearview camera: If your motorhome is equipped with a rearview camera, use it to help with reversing and parking. This can provide a clearer view of what’s behind you.
Stick to sealed roads: We want you to stay safe on your road trip. With that in mind, it’s important that all 2WD campervans and motorhomes stay on sealed roads.
Check overhead clearances: Always be aware of the height of your motorhome and watch out for low bridges, overhangs, and tree branches that could cause damage.
Practice parking: Spend some time practising parking your motorhome in different situations. This will help you become more comfortable with manoeuvring in tight spaces.
