Bon Voyage - Off to France tomorrow in the Motorhome

Hi Vicki, it's time for an up date on your trip, their's lots of us watching your progress and very interested to know how your getting on.

Good Luck Peter

Bonjour, hope it went well for you. We took our van for the first time to continental Europe recently, made lots of mistakes - didn't book a site in France, hoping to use a municipal, got late Chunnel to sit in car with dogs and take advantage of lower fare for late crossing, train delayed, site was shut on arrival, drove around Sangatte looking for somewhere to stay etc (motorhomes just pitched up on the beach) Drove through six countries without a problem then 'crashed' the van while parking on our pitch in Italy. Did a 406ml journey from Salzburg to Nancy in a day to reach a booked site on time! 4am start to get Chunnel home etc Now that's a trip! Lots off mistakes, great experience, looking forward to next year, doing it again but this time with planning! If you ever get to read this do look in on the thread 'Famous caravanners', you did get a mention. 

Ps if you did the motorhome thing you should try with a caravan for the comparison. Maybe get one of your friends in the caravan with you in the motorhome, sure manufacturers would love it and would really show what the club can offer both.
