Frequently Asked Questions
Layouts with fixed rear bunks work brilliantly for young families. Children love having their own sleeping space, and bunks are quicker to use than converting dinettes. Drop-down beds over the cab provide additional sleeping for parents.
A 4-berth layout is the minimum for a family of four. Consider 6-berth tag axle motorhomes if children are older and want their own space. Remember to check the number of travel seats with seatbelts for legal road travel.
Many larger family motorhomes exceed 3,500kg, which requires a C1 licence if you passed your test after 1997. Smaller family-friendly layouts under this weight can be driven on a standard car licence.
