The rule of thumb all with a motorhome should know about

How far out in nature do you have to drive?

The main rule in Denmark is that you have to drive with motorhomes on public state and municipal roads and private common roads

You have to drive on private roads if they appear as suitable for driving with motorhome (remember, you get in a heavy car, and it thus burdens the substrate) and if the owner has not set up signs that prohibit driving.

Do not drive on roads belonging to forest areas.

Where and how do you have to spend the night?

It can be cheap to spend the night with motorhome.

As a starting point, you may want to spend the night in public parking spaces as long as you do not camp.

For example, camping is understood that you unfold the awning out, set up a tent, arrange you with tables and chairs or the like.

In terms of legislative, there is a difference between camping and resting, and camping may only take place at campsites.

Christian Jensen also advises that you check the tire pressure once a month if you are going on a longer trip.

« Make sure the tires are cold when you check the pressure. A high tire pressure improves camper’s stability and reduces the heat generation in the tires. It makes it easier to control and extend the durability of the tires, » says Christian Jensen.

Check the pattern depth and the condition of the tire in general

When you still have your nose at cover height, also check the pattern depth.

At least allowed is 1.6 mm, but the recommendation from Christian Jensen sounds at 3 mm, especially on wet roads – and you probably won’t be completely over through the Danish summer.

4-5 years of age is the rule of thumb for motorhome tires

In addition to paying special attention to damage to the camper’s tires along the way, Christian Jensen also recommends that you should pay extra attention to the tires of the tires already after 4-5 years of use.

« Worn tires increase the braking distance – on all types of vehicles – and make your driving unstable. The heavier the camper is loaded, the longer the braking distance. So check the pattern depth and also remember that the tire pressure may be higher than usual when driving with heavy loads, » explains Christian Jensen.

If you are unsure how old the tire is, you can find the year on the side of the tire.
