Motorhome Mountain Driving Safety Tips

If you're taking your motorhome on a trip to the mountains, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. Driving a motorhome can be challenging enough but add in some steep grades and tight turns and you've got a recipe for disaster. Here are a few tips to help you navigate mountain roads safely.

Drive During the Daytime

Try to do your mountain driving during the daytime. Not only will the visibility be better, but you'll also have an easier time judging turns and spotting potential hazards. Driving at night can be stressful and is best avoided if possible.

Take Your Time

When driving your motorhome in the mountains, it's important to take your time and go slowly. There's no need to rush and trying to hurry will only increase your chance of making a mistake. In addition, it's a good idea to leave yourself plenty of time to reach your destination so that you don't feel pressurized to speed up.

Be Aware of Weather Conditions

Before heading out in your motorhome, check the weather conditions for the route you'll be taking. If there's a chance of bad weather, it's best to wait it out or choose another route.

With some careful planning, you can enjoy stress-free driving on your next mountain vacation. If you’re looking to buy a motorhome, visit Broadmoor RV to check out what we’ve got in stock.
