Many come with gas or electric heating systems, double-glazed windows, and fly screens. Toilet/shower facilities and kitchen facilities are on board.

As well, you will have plenty of room when you travel by motorhome, so there’s no need to limit your souvenir shopping!

Packing light is no longer necessary when you tour around the Highlands in your motorhome.
Before you hire your motorhome, be sure to check policies and rules for driving. UK drivers between the ages of 25 and 70 who have held a full license for 3 years or more are eligible to hire a motorhome. European, international, and North American licenses are welcome as well. When you hire your motorhome, spend some time adjusting to the height, width, and length of the vehicle before you take off for the wilds of the Scottish Highlands. The Highlands are full of B roads, single tracks, and narrow lanes, as well as tight corners, small humpbacked bridges, low bridges, and stonewalled shoulders. Remember your motorhome is bigger than a car!
