Roads network and motorhomes

There is a good UK motorway network. Motorways are shown by 'M' plus the roads number on the map. 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. There may be tolls on other smaller private roads.

Motorway driving for Motorhomes

All motorways have emergency roads side telephones every kilometre. There are markers every tenth of a kilometer which also point to the nearest roads 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.

Country Roads in a Motorhome

Small coastal roads and country roads get congested during the peak holiday periods. When driving the motorhome on country roads be aware of narrow bridges and roadside hedges, as the motorhome is wider than a normal car. You cannot drive the motorhome on non metalled roads. Be aware of the size of the motorhome size, look out for low bridges or anything where access is restricted to 10 feet high or 6 feet 6 inches wide. You are too big. Finally look out for narrow roads.
