Preparing for your trip

Prepare your suitcases


The useful and... not the superfluous.

Type of luggage


It is best for your motorhome trip in France especially if you take a vehicle in one town and leave it in another to leave with soft bags or backpacks. Indeed you will be able to store these bags more easily in the motorhome and not lose space unnecessarily. In case you leave your vehicle in the same city as you left it, you can always leave your empty suitcases in a locker at the rental centre.

Also equip yourself with a bag for the day so that you can always keep your valuables with you.

  • Documents
  • Passports
  • National and international driving licence.
  • Plane tickets.
  • Voucher/voucher for your motorhome, hotels, ferry etc.
  • Your credit card (don't forget to tell your banker about your trip so that he doesn't block your card). Ask also about the daily debit amount authorized by your bank card.
  • Information about your travel insurance.
    Tip: Remember to leave a copy of your important documents with your family or friends so that they can fax them to you if necessary.
