if you’re not used to driving and staying in a motorhome, book a campsite close to the hire firm for the first night. That will give you the opportunity to find out how everything works, and make sure you’re happy with driving the motorhome before you head further afield. Wild camping & caravan sites
it’s a sensible idea to book campsites all the way if you’re travelling during the high season – you don’t want to turn up at a site after driving a long way only to find that it’s completely full up.
Remember that when wild camping you should always obey local laws and look for relevant signs.

Want to buy a van?
Installing a shoe organizer like this on the inside of your door is clutch, but i wouldn’t consider it a genius campervan storage hack or anything. I mean…kinda obvious.
But it doesn’t end there. Just as indians never waste a part of the animals they hunt, my wife doesn’t waste shoe organizers. The shoe organizer you buy will be way too big for your door. (how many pairs of shoes can you fit in a van anyways?). You have to cut it to size. But what about all the extra?
don’t throw it away! (unless you want dayan to hunt you down).

There are several things to consider in choosing a motorhome and given that it is your first time in a motorhome, you want to be happy with the one you choose! if you’re looking to buy a certain motorhome or campervan, definitely travel in something as similar as possible. If you’re not as tied down to a specific brand or style, consider the following: how many people will you be travelling with? how much time will you spend in the vehicle? do you mind packing away a bed each day? do you feel comfortable driving a larger vehicle? will you be cooking often in the van, or mainly eating out?.
There are baddies out there. Far, far fewer than the media or forum trolls would have you believe, but thieves are a fact of life. Even if you buy a £200,000 unimog with tiny windows and a mile-high door, thieves can get in. Our approach: we take basic precautions against thieves, but we assume one day the van might not be where we left it. So we use secure parking in cities, have a deadlock fitted to the door (zagan only has one door, which helps with security too) and we have an alarm which came with the van.
About to take delivery of a new motorhome or want to plan a hitch free trip? with more and more people getting into motorhoming, we sent one of our employees on her first family motorhome trip to experience the complexities – and simplicities – of camping on wheels. She created this checklist which might be useful if you’re starting out with a new motorhome… armed with our motorhome pre-journey checklist and a fancy van hired from peter roberts caravans in huddersfield, west yorkshire, here are her top 20 tips to get you started into motorhoming without a hitch, and hopefully without having to make a motorhome insurance claim!.
‘wild camping’ under the land reform (scotland) act 2003 is only allowed when camping by foot, bike or other non-motorised transport. It does not apply to motorised vehicles such as campervans or motorhomes. We would recommend that you make use of the wonderful camping and caravan sites along the route. Not only will you enjoy rural locations with all the facilities you will need to make your trip more enjoyable, you will also be helping to support the local communities. Check out our handy interactive map for details of motorhome and campervan sites around the route. We understand that some campsites on the route are operating on a first come first served basis.
