Motorhome & Caravan news

Each of us is well aware of the fact that all devices wear out naturally. Starting with the equipment of the living quarters of a caravan or motorhome, ending with mechanics. The service life of the engine, gearbox and other moving components depends on many factors. Of course, quality and regular, professional service using brand-name spare parts are of great importance. Nevertheless, even new equipment will quickly deteriorate (wear out) if the user makes certain mistakes. Contrary to appearances, you do not need to use the camper outside of paved trails to quickly destroy the suspension - and more. As reported by mechanics, users know many other "effective" ways. Let's start with the most common sin of drivers - aggressive driving on potholed roads . While dynamically passing each corner on our way, we only accelerate tire wear, similar behavior on a devastated artery means strenuous work of shock absorbers, springs, swingarms and all metal-rubber elements. What's more, the entire vehicle frame and the load-bearing structure of the bodywork also work in such conditions - plastic panels will start to crack after some time. Similar results also generate violent shocks - they can violate the tightness of the building. Another important issue that we often forget is the placement of the cargo inside the camper. Many drivers do not pay much attention to this, packing their luggage wherever possible. Instead, place the heaviest packages between the axles - keeping the weight evenly distributed and the load on each axle.
