Are instructions fool proof ? as our language skills are a bit limited.Are there any companies near the ferry terminals of Zeebrugge or Rotterdam that anyone can recomend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel E Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Recommend, no, but almost all but the very smallest dealers in France, Germany, Italy have hire fleets. b I am less sure about the Netherlands and there are fewer dealers there anyway. But you should have no problem finding one. As a starter, I did a Google search for 'motohome hire netherlands' and immediately came up with the following: http://www.ideamerge.com/netherlands_rv_motorhome_rental_camper_van_hire.html As for instructions, you'll be very lucky to get any. All the pieces of equipment come with manuals (oven, loo, fridge, etc.) but most hire firms take them out so they can sell the vehicle at the end of the season with all its paperwork. So you'll be dependent on a good briefing before you take it away. But don't worry - all camp sites will be full of people who'll be only too happy to help if you have a problem.

Vixters other half Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 We hired a motor home frome Abimo motorhomes at knokke not far from Zeebrugge. Good service and a good briefing before even though we had been caravaning and knew a fair bit. Things do tend be slightly different -push or twist etc. but you soon pick it up.
