Driving a campervan in Norway is like driving a van or large car. If you are not used to driving larger vehicles then take your time to get used to the size. Pay attention to the height of the campervan and, if you are driving a larger motorhome with a bed over the cab then make sure you don't go too close to walls or trees.

Driving a wider vehicle also take a bit of getting used to but you do have large mirrors and reversing cameras on board. If there isn't a camera then get someone to watch you reverse as one of the most common areas of damage is the rear of the vehicle when drivers don't see bollards or rocks.

Take care when driving into and out of parking spaces and be aware of the weight of the vehicle. Driving a heavy vehicle means that you have to take corners at a slower pace.

Make sure that you have everything stowed away and secure before you leave your parking spot. Make sure that you have wound down the roof windows and unplugged the charging cable and slowly drive off the levelling blocks.

It is good practice to turn off the gas bottles at source too.
