Euromaster: three critical checks before a motorhome trip
Original source: Posventa.com de Automoción » Las noticias del taller

In Brief

Euromaster advises motorhome, caravan and camper owners to inspect tyres, brakes and suspension before a trip. Due to a mass often exceeding 3500 kg, these parts suffer increased wear.

Euromaster has identified three critical components that require special attention from owners of motorhomes, caravans and campers: tyres, brakes and suspension. Because the mass often exceeds 3500 kg, these elements are subject to increased wear.

Recommendations

  • Tyres: must be reinforced (marked CP or C); pressure should be checked monthly.
  • Brakes: inspect pads, discs and fluid; replace brake fluid every two years.
  • Suspension: check for wear of shock absorbers, springs and stabilisers.

In a separate article, service expert Jordi Salvans (M3 Caravaning) recommends annual treatment with vinegar (against limescale) and bleach (against mould) for the water system, as well as checking body seals and battery condition after long storage.

62-year-old retiree from Barcelona offers free motorhome parking service in Lleida

Josep Jané, a 62-year-old retiree from Barcelona, has been voluntarily maintaining and welcoming guests at the motorhome parking area in Bovera (Lleida) since February. He helps drivers park, informs them about local services, and resolves issues. He moved to the village in April and rents a house there. The initiative was proposed to the municipality, which supported it. The parking area has 9 spaces, with a rotation of 2 per day, hosting over 60 motorhomes monthly, 90% of which are foreign visitors from France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark. Jané plans to systematize data collection on visitors. The mayor set a fee of €3/day for electricity and noted that signs prohibit motorhomes from driving through the village.
