    Motor home tips appreciated

    Ok as we won't be flying anywhere soon I bought this motor home a couple of weeks ago, first time out this Thursday for 3 days short break. Never done this before so any tips/hints on preparation/stuff I need welcome

    Only ever done Caravanning but I presume the basics are similar, so besides basic vehicle checks, water containers, gas bottles, electric hook up lead, decent leisure battery fitted if hook up not available (assuming Motorhomes use a similar system to caravans), chemical toilet fluids, hopefully which you already have you just need to let the wife overload it with basically at least one of everything you have in the house and you'll be good to go

    Just add to list... Beer, Wine, Spirits and more Beer and you'll be fine.

    Levelling chocks for your wheels will be handy if you have them then the aforementioned drinks can go to the top of the glasses without spilling.

    Enjoy

    Hi Nige, hopefully you have Roadside and get you home cover cover just in case something was to happen. The AA doing money off i think at present above Roadside. If no cover have a look at Patrols | AA hope this helps ???

    And you might suddenly become aware of just how many car parks now have height barriers you won't get through. So make sure you have basic supplies with you.

    Be even more aware that some car parks don't have a physical barrier, but do have small print on the parking pay machines prohibiting vehicles over a certain height (sneaky way to catch you out).
    My DIY ponds from 1988 until present day.
    All can be found here:

    Thanks for the tips guys, re breakdown cover. Joined the caravan& motorhome club and got a good deal through them for roadside and recovery with green flag, hopefully won't need it but you never know.
    Re parking, yes only just started to notice height restrictions Motor home tips appreciated didn't know about small print on machines I'll keep a eye open for that.
    At the moment we are sat on a sunny north Devon site bbq on the go after a good days surfing at the beach.
