How to travel in a motorhome in the USA and Europe

The checklist

Mini guide: How to travel by motorhome?

Motorhome is an excellent solution for travelers who want to combine freedom of movement with home comfort. We have prepared for you a small guide on how to prepare yourself for a trip on a motorhome.
1. Plan your route
  • Determine the places you want to visit and how your route will go
Traveling in a motorhome is more about outdoor recreation, so avoid big cities and narrow streets, otherwise parking and maneuvering may be difficult.

  • Think about how many kilometers you have to cover in a day.
In our experience, a comfortable distance per day is 100-200 km, it is worth considering that you are likely to drive slower on a motorhome than in a passenger car.

  • Calculate the time for which you will make stops in one place.
Depends on the length of the trip. If time permits, you can stay in one place for a couple of nights, since the arrangement takes time (connect the house to water, electricity and sewerage. Set it exactly so as not to roll on the bed at night. Open the sunshade. Get a table and chairs for a picnic, etc.)
2. Book campsites and schedule overnight stays.
