Help – I only drive an automatic (which campervans and RVs have automatic transmission?)

At Salamanda Travel we get quite a few enquiries from customers who are only licensed to drive vehicles with automatic transmission. So we thought we would list here which vehicles are an option for drivers who want to hire a campervan or motorhome that is guaranteed automatic.
