The more you understand your motorhome tyres and how to maintain them, the safer your RV adventures will be — and the longer your tyres will last.

As a motorhome owner, it’s important to routinely check the air pressure in your vehicle’s tyres for safety, fuel efficiency and prolonging their lifespan.

In this blog, we discuss how motorhome tyres differ from car tyres, why having the correct tyre pressure is important and how to calculate the right tyre pressure. We also cover inflating your motorhome tyres and fitting a tyre pressure monitoring system.

If you suffer from sleep apnea, you’ll know how important it is to use a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine every night. But what about when you’re away from home — on the road or in the backcountry on motorhome adventures?

In this blog, we explain how a CPAP machine can help you sleep in your motorhome when you’re hooked up to mains power and while you’re off the grid. We look at what you need to run a CPAP machine and how much power it may use.

We also review some commonly held beliefs about the extra equipment you need, like an inverter, solar panel and portable backup battery — and determine whether they stack up.

Finally, we outline how to set up a CPAP machine in your motorhome and offer some top tips for using one during your RV travels.

French automotive magnate, André Citroën, was a man always on the lookout for a better way to make cars. Back in 1933, he asked his engineers to investigate what was then considered a radical concept — front wheel drive.

Their report came back highly positive, citing reduced manufacturing costs, more efficient use of space, greater freedom of design and better handling through a lower centre of gravity.

The clever Bürstner Lyseo IT744 Harmony Line has a few tricks up its sleeve to make the most of its dimensions. Add in premium touches, such as the thoughtfully recessed lighting, elegant tapware, and storage solutions aplenty, and this motorhome offers a heck of a lot for the sticker price.

Elizabeth and Hans Van Der Linden purchased a brand new 2023 HYMER MLT 580 RWD from Wilderness in September 2023. In this owner story, Hans explains how everything’s going with the couple’s exciting new ride — and talks about what it feels like behind the wheel of a rear wheel drive motorhome.

The purchase of a new (or new to you) motorhome is an exciting time, and nobody wants to get it wrong. To help you avoid the pitfalls, Motorhomes, Caravans and Destinations magazine has compiled a list of things to consider when buying your perfect home on the road.

Whether you’re a food traveller looking for local ingredients or an adventurer needing quick meals to fuel your outdoor experiences, the kitchen is where magic happens — it’s the soul of your motorhome.

In this guide, we review the most functional kitchen layouts, assess which appliances work best in a motorhome kitchen, discuss kitchen storage space and look at kitchen lighting.

While at first glance the Bürstner Lyseo TD 736 might resemble one of many universal European motorhomes from the outside, a closer look quickly reveals several points of difference and a range of unique features inside, Paul Owen of Motorhomes, Caravans and Destinations Magazine reports.

Nothing deflates the excitement of a motorhome holiday like returning to your RV to find it’s been broken into — and your valuable items have been stolen. Even worse is seeing an empty parking space where your motorhome used to be.

Taking preventive measures to avoid such an experience is well worth the investment.

In this blog, we discuss the theft of motorhomes and campervans — and how you can best avoid becoming a statistic. We look at increasing your motorhome’s security with stronger door locks, alarms, GPS trackers and plenty of common sense.

As we embrace the warmer summer weather, longer or more frequent RV trips are often on the cards. For those with fur babies, Catherine Milford of Motorhomes, Caravans & Destinations magazine has compiled some tips for ensuring your pet can travel in comfort and with minimum fuss in your RV.

Like other vehicles on the road, motorhomes and campervans are affected by depreciation. It’s often referred to as the hidden cost of ownership.

Depreciation isn’t always accounted for when looking at the initial purchase price of an RV. This can lead to financial surprises down the road, especially if you’re not prepared for the decrease in value.

In this guide, we look at what motorhome depreciation is, how it impacts total cost, what factors affect it, how to calculate it and how to minimise it.
