Summer vacation is approaching, the mobile home is rented.
But before setting out on a trip, campers should take a few things to heart so that the vacation doesn't cost them dearly.
Camping holidays are more popular than ever.
Countless people have therefore decided to buy a mobile home.
For frequent campers, buying your own vehicle can actually make sense.
But currently long waiting times and even price increases after ordering are to be expected*
.
The reason for this is delivery difficulties on the part of the manufacturers due to the shortage of raw materials.
You don't want to wait any longer, but want to start your camping holiday as soon as possible?
Then off to the next rental station.
However, if you rent a camper, you can fall flat on your face.
In order
to avoid unnecessary additional costs and inconveniences
, you should therefore heed a few important rules, such as the Allgemeine Deutsche Automobil-Club e.
V., ADAC for short, as Europe's largest traffic club.

Renting a motorhome: What is important now
In order to start your holiday relaxed, mobile home renters should consider the following criteria:
Insist on detailed instruction
: A good car rental requires a detailed explanation, based on the knowledge of the customer.
For example, those who have never driven an automatic will receive comprehensive instruction.
This introduction is particularly important when renting campers – insofar as the customer has not yet had any experience with mobile homes.
According to the ADAC, at least half an hour should be planned for the introduction.
As part of the briefing, it should be shown in any case how the supply of fresh water tanks on the campsites and parking spaces works, where and how the waste water or dirty water from the tank is disposed of and how gas, water and electricity in the mobile home are used for that Heating, cooling and cooking is switched on and used, according to the ADAC.
Thoroughly check the vehicle
: According to the ADAC motorhome rental company, a meticulous tour of the motorhome to record any damage and have it confirmed is mandatory.
Important: Don't forget the roof!
Be safe when
renting out privately: You don't rent your mobile home through a commercial company, but privately?
Then, according to the ADAC, you should make sure that the camper is registered as a self-drive rental vehicle - otherwise all rental insurance is invalid, the ADAC warns.
