Autumn caravanning involves less predictable weather, shorter days and deteriorating road conditions. Drivers of motorhomes and caravans should be aware of morning frost, aquaplaning, strong crosswinds and fallen leaves. Moisture on roads in forests and valleys persists even in clear weather, increasing braking distances. When towing a caravan, sway can make the combination nearly uncontrollable, so reducing speed and avoiding sudden manoeuvres is advised. Due to shorter daylight, plan routes to arrive before dark to avoid damage when parking.
