The long-awaited vacation is within reach - the anticipation is growing! Where should the journey go this time? And more importantly, how do you want to travel? All destinations are open to you with a motorhome – from a regional weekend trip in Germany to a round trip through the whole of Europe lasting several weeks. We give you a few tips that you can use to plan your motorhome tours easily and well thought out.
Sun, beach and cocktails are your favorites on vacation? Then you will probably head south in the summer – to Italy, Greece, Spain or Portugal. If possible, travel outside the school holidays, otherwise the campsite can get crowded. You can find good alternatives in Eastern Europe: The Balkan countries also offer a beautiful hinterland and cozy bathing lakes without crowds of tourists in summer. Rent your mobile home in Leipzig and the adventure begins.
Do you love cooler regions that are worth a trip in (almost) every season? With the French Atlantic coast, the Baltic countries and Scandinavia you are in the right place. Those who don't want to do without that island feeling can plan their motorhome tour to Scotland, Northern Ireland or Iceland.
To further narrow down the possible travel destinations, three questions will help you:
Also find out about the holiday periods and public holidays in the planned holiday region. Because the campsites are usually fully booked, the sights are well visited and the streets are full of travellers. Your advantage if you can plan the motorhome tour outside of the season: renting the campsite is usually cheaper - and so is the motorhome.
You already know exactly which places and sights you absolutely want to see on your trip? Then grab a (digital) map and enter the locations. Once all the ideas have been collected, it is time to plan the route. That means you have to check the following:
It also makes sense to find out about the toll laws and the most important traffic rules in the destination country before you travel. This saves you nasty surprises on site.
If you want to make maximum use of the freedom of camping, you can plan on a daily basis which campsite or parking space you will be resting on in the evening. But that can also have its pitfalls: Especially in the high season, many good campsites are fully booked weeks in advance - and even a simple parking space is difficult to get in popular holiday regions.
our recommendation: Check in advance which seats can be found on your preferred route and make reservations at least during the peak travel season.
Practical apps for parking spaces and campsites can help you to make a pre-selection and, if necessary, to get a free spot on the spot. Try for example StayFree, park4night and parking lot radar off. It is also useful to check the ratings of previous guests. Are you in RV with dog on the go, you should pay particular attention to the campsites where four-legged friends are welcome.
Pitches with supply stations are perfectly adequate for a short overnight stay. If you want a little more comfort or want to stay longer in one place, we recommend a fully-fledged campsite with sanitary facilities. On the other hand, if you want to experience pure nature, wild camping is the motto. But be careful: It is not allowed in every country - it is best to find out in advance.
If you book in good time, you have the best chance of finding a suitable camping vehicle - whether it's a large motorhome or a simple campervan. You can find out which model suits you and your trip best by answering four questions:
Our Hannes camper vehicles are ideal for camping beginners as well as "old hands". With driving license class B and at least 3 years of driving experience you are there. Our classic "Hannes" is particularly agile and flexible - equipped with everything you need: comfortable bed, spacious kitchen, neat bathroom with toilet and shower. If the mountains are your destination, the Sprinter among our campervans is the right choice: "Hannes GT“. It will take you up the steepest peak with ease. Our "Big Hannes“ with trailer hitch, large bathroom and two wide single beds.
Book your mobile home as early as possible, as many campers plan their vacation months in advance. Especially for the holiday season or one RV Long Term Rental is that recommended.
Do you want to get started right away? Then it means: Motorhome in Nuremberg rent – and jet off.
Whether you like to be prepared for everything or prefer to let yourselves drift a little while camping, a packing list is always recommended. It gives an overview of the most important travel companions and you can easily tick off what is already stowed in the campervan when packing.
You should have this with you:
