    The wing mirrors are easily adjustable and offer a wide field of view.

    There is a rear view camera for reversing.

  • For each driver, we need:

  • Skylark is below 3.5T which means it can be driven on any UK driving licence (held for more than 2 years and subject to checks).

    Kestrel is over 3.5T so requires a UK C1 licence for HGVs (3.5-7.5T). If you passed your test before 1/1/97 (UK) you will have this automatically on your licence. After that date you need an additional test.

    The 12 volt and USB sockets work when the the lights are activated via the habitation panel.

  • In principle it’s fine to run high power devices (eg hairdryer or straighteners) from the 3 point plugs, when the motorhome is on electric hookup.

    However, be aware that different sites provide different amounts of power which may mean that you are unable to use your device (eg 6 amp supply = 1400 watts).
