Why Sat Navs and Reverse Cameras Are A Must For Your Motorhome

Reversing cameras and motorhome satellite navigation systems (sat navs) can save you both time and money. Whether it's by finding the best route for your motorhome, or by avoiding potentially costly bumps and scrapes, having a reversing camera fitted to your motorhome, as well as a sat nav that's specifically designed with motorhomes in mind, is a great idea if you want to make your holiday as stress-free as possible.

Reversing Cameras

Knowing exactly how much space you're working with isn't always easy while trying to perform tricky motorhome manoeuvres. Even the slightest misjudgement can result in a bump or a collision which could end up costing you thousands.
A reversing camera could also ensure you make fewer claims on your insurance. Motorhome reversing claims are fairly common; drivers regularly make claims after reversing into a stationary object such as a wall or a drive-post, and even parked vehicles. The average costs involved when it comes to repairing a motorhome bump caused by reversing into an object is around £1,300. Drivers who don't fit a reversing camera to their motorhomes are putting themselves at increased risk of shelling out for every accident they have, no matter how minor it is. Simply by knowing how close your motorhome is to an obstacle, you can take preventative action that you may not be able to do without the assistance of a camera.
Those without reversing cameras can also end up paying more for their insurance policy. Most motorhome insurance companies will offer a discount to drivers who have fitted a reversing camera to their motorhome, simply because drivers who benefit from the assistance of a camera make fewer claims than those who don't. So, if you're looking to make fewer claims, cut down on repair costs and save money on your insurance policy, all while making you a safer driver, you might want to consider fitting a reversing camera.

Motorhome sat navs

Having a satellite navigation system fitted to your motorhome is a great idea if you're looking to make your trips as hassle-free as possible. The fantastic thing about motorhome sat navs is that they're completely unique to motorhomes. Unlike regular sat navs for cars and vans, which merely tell you the quickest way to get to a destination, motorhome sat navs go the extra mile by giving drivers the ability to input the width, weight and height of their vehicle.
Once a motorhome sat nav has the vehicle information, it's able to use its preprogrammed database to provide you with not only the best route, but one that's also safe for your vehicle. There's nothing worse than driving a motorhome only to come across a low bridge or a crossing with a weight limit. You spend vast amounts of time and petrol seeking out a different route which could add hours to your trip. With a motorhome sat nav however, you can rest assured that the route you take will be free of obstacles, meaning you can focus purely on enjoying your holiday.
