    We want to drive to the Dolomites - any tips and advice welcome.

    We have 2 or 3 weeks off just after the schools go back in September and we are tempted to take our first trip in the van off UK soil - the Dolomites are our preferred destination but haven't done anything like this before - so this place seems a good resource of useful know how to pillage. We...

    Afternoon all, Does anyone have any experience of doing the Amalfi coast in a campervan? I've heard some mixed reports, we've driven down to Italy before around the lakes and also Ca savio near Venice but heard the Amalfi might not be one for campervans - more a flight and public transport...

    Warmish Locations In October

    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...

    Snow Chains or Winter Tyres?

    I am looking at driving my fantastic new t6 to Italy this winter and have started looking at snow chains or winter tyres. I have 275 40 20" and lowered so fitting chains i think will be a challenge and on initial search they are expensive. All help greatly appreciated

    Driving in Europe

    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...

    Luke's Caravelle

    Here she is. My caravelle executive 150 DSG. Done 2000 miles so far and loving it. I've come from a 2008 2.5 kombi which was pretty agricultural in comparison! It pulls like a train and is very smooth with it. I've swapped the step light bulbs and boot bulbs for LEDs. I also covered the back of...
