New guides added: October 2026
On this page
We added six guides on getting the vehicle ready and leaving camp. Each one is built from the sources it names and says what those sources do not cover.
Vehicle prep
- Breakdown cover on a remote track: what to ask uses one provider's published terms as a worked example of vehicle limits, private land and onward travel wording.
- Cold tyre pressures for a loaded camping trip covers where to find the recommended pressure and how to read a cold check.
- Puncture plan for a loaded camping car: find the spare covers temporary spare limits and keeping the spare reachable.
- Carrying spare petrol in the UK: container limits summarises HSE container sizes and the limit for a vehicle.
Roof bars and boxes
- Low bridge signs and your roof tent's travelling height explains mandatory and warning height signs in Great Britain.
Camping rules
- Before driving away from camp: a departure check is a short routine for closing the tent, clearing the pitch and rechecking the load.
