europe

Hi , we are planning a trip to Europe in July 2022. We only have 2 weeks to do it due to work holidays. We want to spend a few days in Switzerland at Jungfrau & then head to Austria for a few days and then into Bavaria. I have not drove in Europe since 2003 so I'm after advice please, what...

I believe that we have to pay taxes of we guy goods from the EU. Does anyone know how much this is? Is it just a simple % of purchase price or more complicated than that? Thanks

Does anyone have any suggestions for camping in Europe? We're based in Germany and hopefully if restrictions are eased next year we'll be looking to head south on tour! Cheers Kev

Hi all, Anyone offer any green card advice in the current minefield of EU changes?! Basically I get the standard 90 days with my current insurer Direct Line and have 18 days left to use until May 2021 when the 90 days will renew. Trouble is I need more than the 90 days annually so am trying to...

Hi everyone. So in two weeks we (me, the wife and our 3 year old) are driving for a week in a lodge in Switzerland. The holiday has been booked for over a year and intially we were driving in the car. Since covid came around we greatly expected the holiday to be cancelled and are now proud t6...

anyone else get bored of french channels when traveling , i know ur in france but is there anything english one can receive everywhere in europe ?

So i've just spent, or actually my wife has just spent the last 4hrs on the Eurotunnel website trying to book our crossings for August. It's well reported across the internet that Eurotunnel.com is under a huge amount of pressure due to the whole country trying to make bookings after the latest...

Hi, Planning a 'pilgrimage' with my son to the Nick Cave exhibition in Copenhagen this summer in my T6 and wondered if anyone could offer any travel tips for the region? Trip will be a week-ish and I'll start by sailing Newcastle to Amsterdam and then driving up through Germany etc. Probably...

Research is just gearing up! We are just booking the Eurotunnel, and having nearly three weeks at the end of June in that there Europe. (Driving permits organised) So Where should I take me new campervan. We are thinking of Bavaria, the romantic road, castles and Rivers? We use...

I am trying to decide whether to drive to poland or fly and rent a car. I have priced it up and it's cheaper to drive by around £500. That was if we don't go via Luxembourg to fill up with some cheaper fuel. And also I didn't cost in stopping somewhere on route in an aire. Has anyone ever drove...

It looks like we will have some time free for a longer campervan trip in early October. We want to go to Scotland, but I suspect it could be a bit fresh up there doing something like the NC500. We have friends in the South of France, so could drop down there, then move on to Spain and Portugal...

I’m roughly planning a 4 -5 week trip for September / October 2019 and would like to hear about personal experiences of wild camping in Switzerland, Austria and Northern Italy, preferably in the Alps and Dolomites. We would be looking to be as unobtrusive as possible; no furniture, awning or...

Probably wont sleep tonight as pretty excited, head off tomorrow for 5 weeks in Norway, plan is to try and get all the way up to Tromso, with about 2 weeks in the Lofoten Islands en route. Van all packed and tin tent hitched so ready to roll first thing tomorrow am. Scary how much 'stuff '...

A cheeky little weekend away at Euro Camp this weekend in Hilvarenbeek Holland

What are folk, who take their converted vans on this ferry route, stating as their vehicle type when booking ? The price for a car with the same dimensions as my SWB is half of that for a van!

We are travelling to Europe soon and reading up on what we need to take it says we need headlight adjustment. I remember years ago we used to put a sticker on the headlight to stop the glare. Is this still the case or is there a different system or way of adjusting the headlights for European...

We are venturing into deepest darkest Europe with our van in a month. This will be our first time abroad in it. Are the hook up sockets the same as here? Been all over Europe on motorbikes so have never had to use a hook up there before . Many thanks :thumbsup:

I'm guessing some may know about this but for those that don't...... This is great, works a treat. Get them posted to your door and mounted on your screen before you even set off. I hate the stress of keeping an eye out for the upcoming border and the requisite petrol station stop to buy your...

What do you good folks do with your lights when driving on the continent? The law is you mustn't blind people. I know that normal t6 lights aren't exactly bright. Do people still use the stick on adjusters or just adjust the beam down with the little adjuster wheel thingy?

Its our first time driving through France this year and we are looking for advice. From the eurotunnel to the south of France google maps has the fastest route going through Paris. I imagine this is a bad idea so maybe take a longer route down. We are heading to Luchon for le tour and heading...
