WHAT’S COVERED BY THE GUIDE
As ownership and the use of motorcaravans is increasing, this
guide has been produced to assist users in both loading and
driving their vehicles correctly and legally to ensure the safety of
both the vehicle and its occupants.
Covering all types of motorcaravans
including:
• A-class
• Coachbuilt
• Low profile
• Campervan.
This guide outlines everything that
needs to be considered when preparing
a vehicle for a trip to ensure that you
get the most out of the adventure
that is ‘a motorcaravan holiday’. This
guide can equally be applied to those
vehicles which have been converted to
be used as a motorcaravan but retain
the description on the V5 as a ‘van with
windows’.
Motorcaravans come in all
shapes and sizes, each with specific
loading considerations that need
to be addressed when loading your
motorcaravan.
