Because motorhomes generally clock up less mileage than most cars, many motorhome owners believe that their tyres are in good condition, due to the fact they may have only used their motorhome for a few weeks over the course of the year.
If you have a standard car license (B) this entitles you to drive any vehicle up to 3.5 tonnes. This includes most family campervans low profiles and some of the more compact A Class motorhomes on the market.
Once you exceed 3.5 tonnes in Ireland, the speed limits change and you are treated as a commercial vehicle.
All motorhomes come with a 12 volt electrical system, but will also need a mains connection. To connect to the mains on a campsite you will need a 16amp orange cable with 3 pin blue external connectors, usually available in 10 or 25 metre lengths.
The 2023 ACSI all Europe camping guides are now in stock in Ireland at Anchor Point Motorhomes. With more than 3,000 participating campsites across Europe, over 700,000 campers are already using CampingCard ACSI.
