Do you want full flexibility and freedom on your holiday - set off spontaneously and see where the road leads you? Then a mobile home tour is just right for you. You can find it at Hannes Camper compact and manoeuvrable campervans that are easy to drive, even for beginners. What else you should know, you can find out here with us.
The first trip in a mobile home is exciting, because even the feeling of sitting is completely different than in a car. You sit higher, you have a good view of the road - a sublime feeling of freedom. But you should also drive very carefully and with foresight, because even a compact campervan is significantly heavier when loaded. That means longer acceleration and longer braking distances.
Before you rent the camper, you should determine the number of people traveling with you. Because only as many people (and animals) are allowed to ride as there are seats with seat belts. Children also need an age-appropriate child seat in the mobile home - dogs should be buckled up with a safety system or travel in the dog box. And as in a car, always buckle up while driving!
A packing list is recommended so that you don't miss anything on the motorhome tour for beginners. Here you write down everything you need - and you can simply tick off the things you have stowed away. What you should always have with you in the camper:
Hannes Camper Tip: Packing list – standard inventory of our Hannes campers
We recommend that you book the mobile home as early as possible, as many campers plan their vacation months in advance. This is especially important if you want to travel during the holiday season or a RV Long Term Rental is suitable for you.
If you are traveling with a camper for the first time, you will probably make a few mistakes. So that you don't lose the holiday fun right at the beginning, we show you which rookie mistakes you should avoid before and during the motorhome tour.
If you are not completely out of civilization with the camper, a 25% full fresh water tank is sufficient. Because you can easily fill it up at campsites and parking spaces on your trip. With a full fresh water reservoir you only drive around unnecessarily - and the fuel tank is empty faster.
Plan short stages for beginners on your motorhome tour, which you can easily complete even if there is a risk of traffic jams. It is best to reach your destination for the day before sunset. So you can enjoy your holiday better and end the evening comfortably under the awning. Also take into account the time you need to convert the motorhome from driving to living and sleeping mode.
The Driving with a camper or motorhome is a special challenge - and challenges your concentration in an unusual way. That's why it's even more important to take regular breaks. This prevents fatigue and the risk of accidents. If you are traveling with children or dogs, stop more often to ensure you get enough exercise. This makes the journey more relaxed for everyone. A regular change of driver is ideal on long journeys or when driving at night.
Even as a sun worshiper, you should choose your pitch in the shade. This is because the vehicle can quickly overheat in hot summer temperatures. Our tip if the heat in the camper gets the upper hand: Get out of the sun and ventilate well in the evening - then nothing stands in the way of a cool night.
Remember to regularly empty the collected waste water from the shower, sink and washbasin at the disposal stations - also the cassette toilet of your Hannes camper. Once the tank is full, there can be nasty surprises.
Before you load your camper, you should know the curb weight and the permissible total weight of the vehicle. Then you know exactly how heavy your luggage can be – and you can sort it out if necessary.
When loading your luggage, the rule of thumb always applies: heavy items on the bottom, light items on top. Stow clothes, supplies etc. logically in the camper so you can find everything easily. You should also pack everything securely and leave nothing on open shelves during the journey. This reduces background noise when driving and prevents objects from falling off the rolling home. Use the plenty of storage compartments and, if necessary, special storage systems for mobile homes.
The plan is in place: the next vacation should be touring with the mobile home. But the details of the route still give you headaches? Then answer four questions first:
After that you have already set out a rough framework for where the journey could go. It is best to then enter all the sights and places on a (digital) map that you absolutely want to experience on your motorhome tour. In this way, each fellow traveler can bring in their ideas and the route is already roughly sketched.
Always pay attention to the road conditions when it comes to the milestones. You are usually on the road longer on mountain roads than in the flatlands. That's why you shouldn't just look at the kilometers here. You should also know the most common road traffic regulations and toll laws in the destination country before you travel.
And last but not least: Check which campsites are on your preferred route. You usually only have to reserve them in the high season. The principle applies to parking spaces: whoever gets there first gets the space. So always have a plan B up your sleeve.
