  2. Check your insurance cover: unfortunately, sometimes we are unlucky and can suffer theft or accidents in our vehicle when visiting a foreign country. It is therefore very important to have insurance that covers the motorhome and all our belongings.
     
  3. Check the traffic rules: Traffic in Morocco can be chaotic, so it's important to do a bit of research before you set off on your motorhome tour of Morocco. Some useful tips are to never exceed the speed limit, avoid driving at night in urban or rural areas and always wear your seatbelt.
     

Get around with cash: before setting off, exchange a few euros for dirhams (the country's currency), as not all shops, restaurants and petrol stations accept cards.
