Before you go on vacation in an RV or caravan – a handful of up-to-date information.

Here are some suggestions from experienced RV and caravan users that are worth reading:

With so many people enjoying nature, it’s very important for each of us to do our part. It’s good to make sure we don’t leave anything behind that detracts from the experience of those who follow us.
Stay alert while driving and remember that you are traveling with friends or family and are ultimately responsible for their safety. Undoubtedly, an RV or car and caravan combination is larger than a passenger car. Taller (3.5m) and longer (7m). Respect other drivers and remember the principle of limited trust.
Take special care when parking and crossing overpasses. Pay attention to traffic regulations and plan stops. Choose main traffic roads with decent pavement and maintenance. The car will consume less fuel, and everyone on board will enjoy the trip more.
There may be sights to see along the way. You don’t travel for piecework, but for vacation and relaxation.
If possible, do your shopping before your trip. If not, go to stores with spacious parking lots where you can maneuver your camper or caravan safely and securely. Larger purchases should be made before the start of the trip.
Prepare some small snacks and drinks for the trip. It’s best to plan ahead if you want to stop at a restaurant along the way. You can find a lot of information on the Internet about the location of good kitchens along the planned route. You can also prepare food on your own, but is it worth washing dishes while traveling?
Take along a good book, some of your favorite music and a board game. The ideal time for this pleasure is during the vacations. Reading while relaxing in a hammock or armchair is enjoyable.
Don’t forget to take your daily medication!
Regularly check the amount of fuel, the operation of the engine and other vehicle components. If “something is wrong,” it is better to check exactly what is going on with a mechanic.
Avoid speeding to save yourself from expensive fines and penalties.
Remember that in the event of collisions and traffic accidents, the first priority is the life and health of travelers, followed immediately by notification of the relevant services at 112.
Be careful in parking lots. During the summer, many people are looking for “easy loot.” When you leave your RV or caravan parked, lock the trunk, cab, service hatches and cabin hatches, and secure bicycle racks. Never leave your purse or keys inside a vehicle.

In Poland, campers as well as caravans are subject to the following speed limits:
