Hi everyone. We’ve recently purchased a new campervan and we’re taking it on our first Euro trip with a few friends in a couple of weeks. I’ve noticed a bit of a problem when checking the V5 that it’s technically been registered with 3 seats, despite having a belted rock and roll bed in the...

Hi all, Apologies for this post. I've read a few in the forum but they either refer to T6 or don't answer my query. I'm taking my 2022 T6.1 to Switzerland and have to register it over there. I am aware they won't accept the RHD lights as they are. I enquired with THQ about aftermarket LED for...

Might be a noooby question but I’m planning my first small trip now I’ve finally (nearly) finished my conversion! What’s the best way to find camping spots (or just anywhere I can park up over night)? Im finding loooads of places that look cool so any experience people have of nice places would...

I'll be off for several weeks to Spain and Portugal from the UK in a few weeks time. I've being doing this a few years and never informed my insurer up until my last trip at end of 2023. The only reason I did last time was because, when I contacted my insurer (Adrian Flux) about renewal, I said...

Busy collecting LEZ stickers for when we hit Europe, currently France and Germany sorted, but still unclear about Austria. Anyone know for sure if I need a LEZ sticker? They are over 25 euros and don't want to buy one if only needed if I'm a lorry!

So, I understand if you have a Union Flag and UK identifier on your registration plate, there is no need for a slap on white UK sticker. No quibble there. My query comes in two parts.. Is the registration plate Union Flag and UK identifier needed on BOTH front and back plates?? I.e. could the...

Hi, Apologies for asking obvious questions. Any advice on insurance companies that are more T6/ Europe Travel friendly? Quotes for the 2021 model all around the same amount. So just wanted to see if there are knes to ignore. Gerard

As the title says, what is the price of diesel in France compared to the UK? Is it less expensive to fill up over here or over there?

Hi All, we're heading off to France in a couple weeks to drive down to Italy - Autohaus T6 Campervan with Transporter HQ aftermarket headlights with their LED bulbs. Will likely use Mont Blanc tunnel route so need to be sure where not dazzling oncoming traffic - does anyone know how to work...

Hi all, We’re off on a bit of a road trip around France in August in the T6 and so I am looking at getting some breakdown cover. I have UK cover via my bank account, but this doesn’t extend to Europe. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Hi Everyone, We're planning on visiting friends in the French Alps this Christmas. We're going to take the Caravelle (T6.1 Non 4WD). Has anyone on this forum done a trips to the Alps before in their non 4WD van? I'd really appreciate feedback on the experience? Also any recommendations for snow...

We’re toying with the idea of a road trip to Croatia next month – there’s no real hurry and the aim would be to spend maybe 7 (or 8) days (in total) travelling with a couple of weeks in-country. We know Croatia well and the route is likely to be our usual from Calais via Belgium, Germany...
