THE RULE OF THREE

Let me share with you a golden rule that has transformed my motorhome travels: the Rule of Three.

- 

This simple yet effective principle advocates for driving no more than three hours, staying parked for at least three days, and if it's raining on day three, either moving or heading home.

It sounds simple and it is but this little rule has transformed how I travel. It's kept my trips more relaxed, helped me actually enjoy the places I visit, and, perhaps most importantly, stopped me from turning a motorhome holiday into a military exercise with too many miles and too little fun.

Why three hours?

We've all done it - the “let’s just keep going” marathon drive, chasing the next destination. And what happens? You arrive frazzled, tempers are short, and you’ve seen more motorway than the countryside you came to enjoy.

Three hours of driving is a practical limit. It’s enough to feel like you've made progress without being exhausted. It’s also the point where your passengers - whether they’re kids, pets, or your partner - start asking, “Are we there yet?”.

And don’t forget, three hours in a motorhome is very different to three hours in a car. You’re bigger, slower, and more exposed to crosswinds, traffic, and the general stress of piloting what is, let’s be honest, a small house on wheels.

Why three days?
