Securing cargo in and on the motorhome

There is room for everything in a motorhome, but only very few people think about the dangers that can arise from inadequate or missing cargo securing and that can turn your holiday experience into a risk. It can even be the cause of an accident. Then the police, courts and also insurance companies check whether all responsible parties involved have complied with their safety obligations.

To prevent your caravan or motorhome from swaying during the holiday trip, you should ensure that the centre of gravity is as low as possible when loading it. Even weight distribution is also important. The Gesellschaft für Technische Überwachung (GTÜ) also advises using anti-slip mats and lashing ropes to secure the cargo and protect the vehicle from unwanted swaying or even breaking away. Therefore, always check the cargo securing in your motorhome or caravan again before going on holiday. So you can enjoy your holiday with a clear conscience and with no worries.
