Basic
Motorhome
Driving
Tips
Motorhomes
are
not
difficult
to
drive
but
there
are
a
few
things
to
keep
in
mind
that
will
make
your
travels
safer
and
enjoyable.
- Before
driving,
adjust
drivers
seat
and
steering
wheel
for
comfort.
Adjust
all
rear
view
mirrors
for
optimal
views.
- The
drivers
seat
is
farther
to
the
left
of
the
center
in
a
motorhome
than
in
a
car.
This
causes
most
drivers
to
drive
too
far
to
the
right
side
of
the
road.
Be
aware
of
this
and
make
the
necessary
adjustments.
- Know
the
minimum
height
clearance
of
your
motor
home.
Be
on
alert
for
low,
overhanging
tree
branches,
carport
roofs
and
canopies
at
filling
stations,
motels,
etc.
- It
takes
longer
for
large
motor
homes
to
accelerate,
slow
down
and
stop.
Keep
far
back
from
vehicles
to
allow
more
time
to
brake,
change
lanes
and
enter
busy
highways.
- The
length
of
the
motor
home
means
its
turning
radius
is
much
greater
than
a
car.
Make
wide
turns.
- When
driving
from
a
level
surface
up
an
incline
or
vice
versa,
the
rear
of
a
motorhome
may
drag.
While
motorhomes
are
built
to
handle
typical
situations
with
built-in
drag
skids,
driving
slowly
will
minimize
the
possibility
of
damage.
Very
steep
inclines
should
be
avoided.
- Motor
homes
can
be
buffeted
by
strong
crosswinds
as
well
as
air
currents
created
by
passing
trucks.
Slow
down
in
high
crosswinds.
Anticipate
and
compensate
for
the
effects
of
passing
trucks.
- When
backing
a
motor
home
have
someone
watch
out
the
back
window
or
give
directions
from
outside,
while
you
view
things
through
the
side
mirrors.
Before
backing
into
close
quarters,
the
driver
and
spotter
should
get
out
and
inspect
the
area
behind
the
vehicle.
By
evaluating
the
situation
before
backing
up,
drivers
can
avoid
accidents.
