Thanks for the tips, Rod 👍👍

That's brilliant, terawattz. I'm glad you found the video useful👍👍. Thanks for commenting

Thanks John. These rules are also on the official NC500 website. If only everyone read and obeyed them. Just let other vehicles pass and be at least one passing bay from the vehicle in front. 👍👍🚙🚚🚛🚜🚌🚗🚗🛵🚑⛴

or to avoid mountain climbing in the middle of the night for trips to the toilet, @justintrainer936 👍👍🤣

Great tip, gunnerdoit2day. Thanks

It can still take you up the road wrong though

@@HermanHitstheRoad So true.

The leading ones seem to be a Garmin, TomTom Go Camper and Aguri. Pro's over a standard car sat nav - can enter vehicle dimensions to exclude roads you can't fit on. A feature they don't have I think they should is to set your vehicle emission category to avoid being charged or fined for entering zones you shouldn't be in.

Bob in your most recent video's you mentioned that the 'inbuilt' SatNav on the Bailey was lacking in these good features. Out of interest do any Motorhomes have Satnavs that are intelligent from the perspective of the Motorhome or do you always have to buy a third party device.

How can a sat nav designed specifically to consider vehicle size in relation to road size take you up the wrong road? Surely they are not fit for purpose?

Thanks for commenting David. Do you have a m/h or do you have plans to buy one?

Thanks rscosworthfan, the problem isn't the sat nav but the reference data they use. The truck satnavs can still take you down the wrong road. Thanks for letting us know 👍👍🚐📡📡

Thanks Rick. Do you own or thinking of getting a motorhome?

@@HermanHitstheRoad Hi mate, we used to have a motor home but we went back to a caravan, but would love to go back to a motorhome, but the problem is that they're so expensive to get something decent. But love the vlogs...

Thanks for letting us know, Diana. What is the name of the sat nav you brought?

I agree. It needs to be shared around and posted on social media sites :-)

Thanks Julie. Do you have a m/h or camper?

Herman Hits the Road , no we don’t have a Motorhomes as yet, we are enjoying listening and learning from the motorhome experts, so when we have decided the layout and model that will suit us we can go for it x

@@gallivantinggalantes Have you been to a motorhome show? They are a great way of checking out the layouts. We also made a video on how to choose a motorhome kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i7Wll7eo3tm6dac.html

Herman Hits the Road , no not as yet, we’ve followed other Motorhomers at the shows, think this is our next plan. I will check out your video thank you 😊

Narrow viewing angle for rear view mirror function, wide angle for reversing (parking). Can also be setup with a camera on the non drivers side to enable side viewing when driving on the 'wrong' side of the road.

That sounds like a great idea. Thanks for sharing

It's not the sat nav that's the problem, it's the reference data it uses. I used to do a lot of work on navigation software and data and I've seen the data collected wasn't correct. For example, at the time the OS bridge data had heights in Imperial and metric but a lot of times the feet didn't match the metres and visa versa. The OS said the data comes directly from the bridge road signs which are placed by the different councils. The data might be better these days but you should never trust your sat nav.

@@HermanHitstheRoad - True they can be problematic, I'm a truck driver & I've found that Tom Tom or Garmin are the best. I personally have not had any issues with my Garmin. Your quite right though to keep your eyes opened for appropriate roads signs.

Thanks Sandy. Glad you enjoyed the video. We have many videos on those subjects. Kitchen, bathroom, dining area, bedroom are similar to a house and we have a video about lockers. Are you new to motorhoming? What are you looking for?

Great idea, Riley. Thanks 🚙🚙🚙

The info in the video is for a 3.5 t motorhome like Herman and I believe is correct. Like you say speed limit for 3t is like a car

Herman Hits the Road speed limits for motorhomes are dependent upon its unladen weight not its maximum gross weight,

Hi Mark, but you're still relying on the sat nav data being 100% accurate and it isn't. Never trust a sat nav. 👍👍

Herman Hits the Road, Yes you are but these days they’re a lot more reliable with the map data, and because you put dimensions in a truck sat nav makes them more practical for Motorhomes so no silly roads etc. I used mine driving coaches to and from London and it worked perfectly and was £40 off eBay 😃👍🏻

@@KRAM-zb2vc Hi hoping you still see this after a year… do these sat navs actually know the width of the roads??? 🤷‍♀️ I will buy one like a shot if I thought they wouldn’t send us down the wrong roads!

@@HermanHitstheRoad yes I know but it’s better than taking a wrong turn and having to reverse - if you can. Sat navs have come a long way and are very accurate these days.

Hi Tony, Herman is 6 metres excluding the bike rack

I thought I mentioned that, Paul. Do I not?

Combustion Cabin?

Hi 79 Strat, how's things? What do you mean? Herman the Hymer is a cool name. Do you have an RV/motorhome?

That sounds like it's on fire 😉🚙

Hi Mike, we started in rentals with Fiat or Ford cabs (not A class). No lessons or anything like that or even aids. What I do have is a feel for the size but that comes naturally over time driving the vehicle and using the mirrors to see how close I am to the kirb etc. I still do this in tight places. If you feel that you as the driver are positioned in the middle of the road then the vehicle probably isn't. Imagine your lane split down the middle and keep yourself to the side of the middle. Also, look ahead at the gap and think about whether the vehicle can fit through the gap rather than whether you can drive through the gap. What is the vehicle going to do when you turn the wheel? Are the sides going to get closer the side the road or parked cars. I think you already do this in your car. The problem is the movement of the sides and back of the motorhome when you turn the wheel. I hope this helps

This might be a good idea, skyterrapin but I wouldn't trust any satnav. They rely on road data which can be wrong. For example the bridge data I've seen contained the height in metric and imperial. In many cases, when converted, they didn't match up.

Thanks Andreas but you can't rely on a sat nav because it's data could be wrong

@@HermanHitstheRoad yep, that is true.

You will be fine, Mate

👍🚐

It's just a big car, Dan

@@HermanHitstheRoad My Carado has a wide track chassis, if I drove it like a car I would mount every pavement when turning !!!

Anyone who names their vehicle has a sense of humour

@@HermanHitstheRoad no, you are just a Wanker.

No....... You need a slap.

Just because you have an opinion does not make you right! Get over it.

Or maybe you need your hearing tested Rob
