Safety
All our motorhomes are fitted with belted seats to match the number of available berths. Some motorhome layouts have more berths than belted seats or side facing seats where belts are not fitted. For safety reasons we disregard the additional capacity that these layouts provide and limit the capacity to the number of berths or the number of belted seats whichever is the lower figure. It is always the driver’s responsibility to travel passengers safely within a vehicle.
All children under the age of 12 must be restrained in a suitable car seat until they reach the height of 135 cms. This means baby seats for children weighing up to 13 kgs., child seats for children between 9–18 kgs., booster seats for children between 12–25 kgs. and a booster cushion for children aged six and over. The rules are the same as for travelling in cars and they must be belted at all times whilst travelling.
It is illegal to exceed the gross mass of the vehicle which is the sum of the mass of the vehicle, the mass of the passengers and the payload. The maximum payload including passengers is shown in the description of the models. A fire extinguisher and fire blanket is also fitted to all our motorhomes. You must turn off the gas at the bottle before travelling and are advised to bring your own first aid kit in the event of any minor accidents.
Water
Our motorhomes have an on-board fresh water tank, approximately 120 litres the tank is full upon collection and will last between two and four days before refilling. Gauges on board will indicate when you are running low and you can fill up at sites or garages. A hose is provided. A grey water waste tank is also on-board and needs to be emptied when you fill up with fresh water. Both tanks have a similar capacity. The toilet has a separate cartridge tank which must be emptied into an appropriate chemical disposal point or WC. A formaldehyde based fluid or “green” fluid must be added to the cassette when it has been emptied. The fluid is a de-odoriser and does not adversely affect sewage systems. A bottle of fluid is supplied upon collection.
Claims
These Terms and Conditions of contract are governed in all respects by English Law and the Parties submit to the jurisdiction of the English Courts. Carefree Motorhomes reserves the right to vary rates and conditions at any time.
Additional Information
Easy to Drive
All our motorhome hire vehicles are based on the right hand drive Fiat Ducato or Ford Chassis. They have power steering and a 5 speed manual gearbox. The gear lever is a stubby stick conveniently positioned on the dash. The first thing you notice though is the high driving position which gives you every opportunity to be able to anticipate road conditions ahead; to judge bends and braking more easily. There is plenty of height and recline adjustment to the seat and you generally adopt a more upright and relaxed driving position.
You are bigger than a car and need to move out a little to the middle of the road to avoid overhanging trees on the nearside and move over a bit more to avoid the odd cyclist and car when overtaking. Take a bigger swing when manoeuvring but you will be surprised at the turning circle which beats some 4x4's. Reversing is always best done with a passenger on the ground or for you to get out and make your own check before starting.
Keep your speed steady until you gain confidence and remember relax you are on holiday. Car transporters create dirty air when they overtake on the motorway and they are the worst but just keep a steady line and let them pass by.
Your mirrors become your best friend they are big and you should check they are correctly positioned to allow you to scan them easily to spot fast approaching traffic. Motorhomes have limited through-vision and some none at all so you soon start to rely on the mirrors.
Motorhomes hires are easy to drive but different to a car, Take things at a steadier pace and try to anticipate braking and cornering to make the journey more comfortable and reduce the number of complaints from the navigators. Finally remember all handbrakes are on the right hand side.
Traffic Rules
Road signs are usually the standard international signs. Buy a 'Highway Code' for about £1. This is essential for driving your motor home hire in Britain. Many shops (including those at airports) sell it.Traffic roundabouts are unique to roads in Britain, traffic coming from the right has priority and you only may overtake other vehicles on the right.
Make sure that you understand parking restrictions, and what 'double yellow lines' and 'single yellow lines' mean.
The speed limits for our motorhomes are not the same as cars. Motorhomes over 3500 kgs have some minor restrictions. 70 mph is the maximum on motorways but on dual carriageways the maximum is restricted to 60 mph and to 50 mph on single carriageways, unless there signs which display specific speed restrictions. Beware there has been an increase in the number of speed camera used on major roads and motorways.
Roads
There is a good motorway network. Motorways are shown by 'M' plus the number. Other main roads or trunk roads are shown by ‘A’ plus the number. There is no 'toll charge' to pay on British motorways, except the M4 Severn Bridge into Wales, the Humber Bridge near Hull, the M25 Dartford Tunnel and the M6 near Birmingham.
All motorways have emergency telephones every kilometre. There are markers every tenth of a Km. which also point to the nearest phone. The phone operator will obtain help or phone Carefree Motorhomes. Park as close to the edge of the 'hard shoulder' as possible. It is safer to wait outside the motorhome, on the grass banks as far away from the traffic lanes as possible.You must not stop on a motorway, except in an emergency.
Small coastal and country roads get congested during the holiday periods and you have to be more aware of narrow bridges and roadside hedges as the motorhome is wider than a normal car. Use on non metalled roads is not permitted. Also beware low bridges or anything where access is restricted to 10 feet high or 6 feet 6 inches wide. You are too big.
Parking
Parking your motorhome hire in the centre of most big towns is difficult and best avoided. Motorhomes cannot be parked in multi-storey car parks. Parking in central London is very difficult if not impossible, as you have to find available street parking.
There is also a congestion charge for vehicles entering central London. We suggest that you do not even attempt to travel round London but park on the outskirts and use public transport.
The most convenient place to park are large supermarkets and railway stations as they are well signposted, generally they have easy access and are within walking distance of town centres. Car park areas have a large 'P' sign on a blue background. Aim for those but be aware some have height restrictions and you cannot get your motorhome hire vehicle into anything less than 10 feet.
Choosing pitches
It is generally recommended to use hard standing when available. The motorhomes are front wheel drive and easily loose grip on wet grass and if the ground is soft you might find you will sink in a little. We have strips of plywood and leveling blocks, please just ask if you think you will need them.
Planning
If travelling from abroad try to obtain a good quality large scale road map before you collect the motorhome hire. You will need a scale of 3 miles to 1 inch/2 kilometres to 1 cm. Also try to obtain other advice about road travel in Britain from a motoring organisation in your country. It is worth booking the first night camp site in advance and choosing somewhere close to us if you have already had a long journey. We can advise on sites in Newark, close to town or in Sherwood Forest or the Peak District.
Complimentary membership to the Camping and Caravan Club is offered and provides a discount on site fees and good range of national campsites.
“Wild camping” is not strictly legal as technically you should always seek the landowners permission to stay overnight but as long as you are not blocking a gateway or causing a nuisance we have stayed at some great rest areas, viewpoints or beach areas without problem.
Overnight halts are allowed in Motorway service areas in the heavy goods vehicle but it can be noisy at all hours. Fire regulations do not permit use of gas appliances. A cost quoted for Moto service areas, ranges from £5-£10 per night and sometimes includes breakfast vouchers. Welcome Break and Road Chef do not publish their charges.
Fridge
The fridge operates on gas, 12 volt or 240 volt. The 12 volt feed is only available when the engine is running and current is supplied directly from the alternator. Once on site if you are hooked up to mains switch to 240 volt supply if you are on a site with no mains hook up or parked during your journey switch to gas. If you are planning a long trip on a ferry you will not be able to power the fridge but for a one or two hour crossing the high level of insulation of the fridge will keep the contents cool.
