Free motorhome check in Roeselare
A lot of people have bought a motorhome or caravan during the corona crisis. In 2019 there were 5000 registered, in 2021 there were more than 7000. But before you travel, it is wise to check your tire pressure and whether you are not overloaded. That was possible last weekend for free at the inspection center in Roeselare.
Many people come to check how much their caravan or vehicle weighs when it is loaded. Guido Desomer and his wife Annemie Vermeulen come from Blankenberge with their mobile home. ‘When you go to a weighbridge, you know the total you the total weight. During this weighing you will find out whether everything is well distributed,’ says Guido.
Avoid fines
The most common problems identified during this check-up are overweight, problems with the pressure on the tow bar and worn tires, according to Heidi Desmedt of the leisure organization Pasar, which organizes this free of charge. If you check everything in advance, you can not only go out safely, you also avoid high fines. “You’d better be okay, because the government plans to focus more on control,” Pasar said.
