In Brief
Slovenian traffic safety agency reminds about license categories for motorhomes. German ADAC club gives winter camping advice: booking, winter gas and tires.
Driving a motorhome requires special training due to its size and weight. The Slovenian Traffic Safety Agency warns: vehicles up to 3500 kg require category B, heavier ones need C1 or C. Motorhomes have significantly longer braking distance, are sensitive to crosswinds, and exceeding maximum weight directly affects safety. Experts recommend checking the route for height restrictions and accounting for increased stopping distance.
The German automobile club ADAC has published recommendations for safe winter camping in motorhomes. Experts advise booking sites in advance, using winter gas and a heated regulator, as well as winter tires and a shovel. For heating, an average of 11 kg of gas is needed for two to three days.
