No, as long as you remember you are driving something a bit bigger than a car and adapt your driving accordingly – and of course avoid height restricted car parks and low bridges etc. The motorhome will cruise at 60mph on the motorway with ease and return about 25 mpg which is very economical for a vehicle of its size.

No, but we do hire Kyham Motordome awnings (£40 per hire). These are freestanding drive away awnings (a bit like a tent) that stands next to the motorhome so you can go in and out in the motorhome without having to take the awning down. They use the Kyham quick erect pole system meaning the awning can be put up and taken down in a couple of minutes (plus pegging time). We don’t offer wind out sun canopy type awnings.

Yes. Our motorhomes come with a refillable gas bottle. Please re-fill the bottle prior to returning the motorhome. You can do this at petrol stations that sell Autogas. Getting refills abroad is difficult, so take what you need when travelling to Europe!

Collection is normally from our depot 5 minutes from the A1/A47 intersection near Peterborough so whether you are going North, South, East or West it won’t take long to get you on the road and on your holiday.
