Euromaster warns of three key checks for motorhomes and caravans before a trip

Euromaster, a vehicle maintenance specialist, warns of the need to check tires, brakes, and suspension before traveling in a motorhome, caravan, or camper. These vehicles often weigh more than 3,500 kg, increasing stress on these systems. It is recommended to regularly check tire pressure, use specific tires with C or CP markings, and inspect brake pads, discs, and fluid, as well as shock absorbers and other suspension components. Also, before any trip, filters, lighting, fluids, and, for caravans, the tow hitch should be checked.
