If you are planning a trip to Europe in your motorhome there are a number of things that you will need to bring with you which may not normally be required if you holidayed in the UK.

You will need to bring certain documents with the most obvious one probably being your valid passport. You will need your driving license. If you have taken out health insurance make sure you have the policy details with you. Check that you are insured to drive your motorhome in Europe and seriously consider European breakdown cover. Don’t forget the log book. Have you got your travel tickets i.e. ferry tickets?

You will need to make sure that your motorhome has a UK sticker on it if it is not included on your vehicle number plate. A GB sticker is no longer valid.

Make sure that you have a warning triangle to be used in the event of you breaking down. One can be purchased from the likes of Halfords. Spare light bulbs and fuses can also be bought at Halfords.

A HI-vis vest should be taken and worn in the event of breaking down.

Make sure that your tyres are all well above the legal limit. Make sure that there is enough oil and anti-freeze in the motorhome and that you carry spare bottles in case of need.

You may also wish to bring spare keys with you and consider also bringing road maps even if you have sat nav. A first aid kit is handy to have including insect repellent. A torch could come in handy.

Don’t forget your bank cards and also take some Euros with you.

The above list is not exhaustive but we do hope that it gives you some idea of the sort of items you should bring with you when taking your motorhome to Europe. Do sort the above things out well in advance rather than leaving things until the last minute. Enjoy your holiday.
