Hiring out your motorhome comes with many perks, but we understand that it can also lead to a few concerns. Potential damage is the biggest worry we hear from owners. That’s why we’re here to help you, help your travellers! We’ve compiled a list of simple things you can do to as an owner to help prevent unnecessary mishaps to your motorhome.
Label your fuel and water tanks
For someone who is not familiar with motorhomes, navigating the various features and containers can be confusing. Clear labelling of each cap will prevent silly mistakes and make sure the information is right in front of the traveller when they need it.
Add your vehicle’s dimensions to the dashboard
Display the height, length and width prominently on the dashboard. This helps travellers quickly access this information before attempting to drive under any barriers or bridges.
Create a motorhome manual
Provide a simple, user-friendly guide that explains how to operate all essential features, including helpful tips and contact information for emergencies. Save time by using our pre-made template here.
Label controls clearly
Use labels for all switches and controls, such as lights, water pumps, and heating systems. This prevents unnecessary confusion and anything being left on in error.
Conduct a thorough walkthrough
Before travellers take the wheel, offer a detailed walkthrough. Highlight important features, demonstrate how to use them, and answer any questions they may have about your vehicle.
Secure loose items
Ensure that all loose items inside the motorhome, such as plates and mugs, are securely fastened. This prevents potential damage during transit and keeps the interior tidy. For an extra precaution, ensure that all items provided are camping- friendly and made of either plastic or metal.
Label the correct fuel type
Clearly mark the correct fuel type on or near the fuel cap.
Then wave them goodbye!
By completing these simple steps for your future travellers, you’re minimising the risk of potential mistakes that could have easily been avoided.
