  1. Failure to check car suitability – Make sure your car’s permitted trailer weight (e.g. up to 750kg for category B driving licences) corresponds to the gross weight of the caravan. Too heavy a load can be dangerous and is prohibited!<\/li>\n
  2. Incorrect coupling of the hitch – Double check: hitch, safety chains, electrical connection, handbrake and support wheel. A wrong connection can come loose on the road.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    <\/div>\n
      \n
    1. Uneven load distribution – Heavier items towards the front of the caravan to avoid ‘tail wagging’. Overloading the axles wears out tires and increases fuel consumption.<\/li>\n
    2. Additional mirrors<\/strong> – Additional mirrors are recommended to see behind the caravan. Without them, maneuvering is difficult.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
      \n
      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
        \n
      1. Overestimating speed – Drive the Caravan more slowly (80-90km\/h recommended), especially when cornering and in the rain. The distance to stay increases significantly! 6.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        6. Forgetting gas and water <\/span><\/strong>– Check gas cylinder filling, water tank and emptying.<\/p>\n

        7. Disregarding the rules of the campsite<\/strong> – Book a place in advance, observe the quiet time and waste disposal. The “leave no trace” principle applies to RMK’s free places.<\/p>\n

        8. Ignoring the weather forecast<\/strong> – Strong winds can make driving uncomfortable. Plan your route according to the weather.<\/p>\n

        9. Not testing your equipment<\/strong> – Try setting up your awning and tent at home. Reminding or forgetting something during a trip spoils the mood.<\/p>\n

        10. Forgetting insurance and documents – Make sure the car’s documents are with you and check that the rental agreement is signed.<\/p>\n
