Your first motorhome trip — complete guide

Many people ask before their first motorhome trip: where to start? What to pack? How does it all work? This guide will answer all your questions.

When you come to collect the motorhome from GetFar, we dedicate 1–1.5 hours to a thorough walkthrough. We'll show you:

Controls for all systems (heating, water, electricity)

How to connect the water hose and extension cable

Using the chemical toilet

How to empty the waste water

Where the spare wheel is and how to change it

**Vehicle height** — our motorhome is 3.5m tall. Watch heights in tunnels and car parks.

**Park appropriately** — not all car parks are suitable for larger vehicles.

**Manage water** — fresh water (125L) lasts a family about 2–3 days.

**Battery charging** — plug in at the campsite to keep the battery charged.
