Before a motorhome trip, a technical inspection, load organization, and insurance verification are essential. Check tires, fluid levels, batteries, water and gas systems, and lighting. The 444 rule recommends no more than 400 km per day, arrival by 4 p.m., and at least 4 nights at each stop to reduce driver fatigue. A reasonable daily distance is 250-400 km, with an average speed of 60-70 km/h. Avoid exceeding the vehicle's gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) and carry necessary documents and safety equipment. Insurance should cover assistance, contents, repatriation, and the geographic area.
