Tyres [Tyre Picture] Tyres are probably one of the most important maintenance items on your vehicle, and they can quite literally save your life and those of your passengers. For this reason great care should be taken in choosing the correct tyres for your circumstance.

Weights and Plates Your Vehicle will have a number of information plates installed under the bonnet and in the door jam, these plates are important so don't dismiss them. You should at the very least check that the VIN on the chassis plate matches the VIN in the windscreen, and you must be aware of the weight limits.

The Law and You Preface In this country (The United Kingdom) the Monarch owns all the land including yours, and people are permitted 'freehold' which roughly translates as free use of the land and that 'use' is bought and sold. You have no other right to the land and this is why in legislation land is considered 'registered' rather than owned. Further, in recent years county and city councils have been given an ever increasing authority to decide what people can and cannot do on the land tha…

Snow, Grass, Sand, Earth and Mud If you're one of those summer travellers who sticks to the roads and sites then you need not really any more of this article, if however, you are someone who enjoys the wild, and/or uses their vehicle all year round then at some point unless you're really lucky, you're going to be stuck.

Audio There's no doubt that having a decent stereo is important, and quite honestly the one fitted in the factory isn't the best, and the speakers are basically pants. Most vehicles these days use ISO standard connectors allowing a range of head units to be connected, older vehicles will need custom wiring.

Car Parks (and Parking in them) Parking a camper in a car park used to be no problem at all, and you'd never give it a second thought, but in the last few years its all got a bit silly. Many car parks have height barriers that simply prevent you from parking in them, and those that don't have signs that are deliberately confusing about what, when and where, so you need to be careful when parking anywhere.

After an Accident DON'T PANIC Firstly, it's NEVER your fault, remember that, and even if you’re driving perfectly correctly, someone else might not be, and quite often an unplanned vehicle-interface situation is the result. Even if no one is injured, it’s an stressful time, but there are some things that you absolutely must do following such an incident, to keep yourself on the right side of the law and the insurance companies.

Recovery Services There are problems getting recovery that's effective because many providers will tell you that you're covered until you actually need it, then they'll point you to their list of exclusions. Pay specific attention to the terms and conditions, especially if you're towing which is almost always excluded.

Many of these are feeling the water so its important to treat them well and leave no trace.
