Hi everyone, If you could plan the ultimate overseas motorhome or caravan tour, where would you go and why? Would it be the highways of the USA or the dramatic coastlines of New Zealand? Or how about somewhere more off the beaten path, like the Australian Outback? For me the idea of combining travel with a motorhome seems…
This years summer trip in our twin-axle is Brienz, Switzerland and then onto St. Tropez, France. We're taking a total of 3 weeks and using the tunnel for the first time. I have factored in 2 nights stop-off on way to Brienz, 1 night stop-off from Brienz to St.Tropez and then 2 nights stopping-off en-route home! We are not…
Hi There, Looking for some advice and discussions regarding EU breakdown recovery services. We used to use Red Pennant, but sadly, what was an excellent service has now ceased. It seems the new R P is a lot more expensive than it used to be! (£840 for 90 day trip) Our Medical cover can be got seperatly and at a sensible…
News to me at least, but according to "the other club" you now are strongly advised to register any trailer, including caravans with a GVW above 750 kg. Apparently a few people have been fined in Germany for not having registered their vans. See gov.uk/register-trailer-to-take-abroad. Of course - it costs to register…
Has anyone completed the registration on the .gov website? It is suggested to be needed to take a caravan/trailer through certain EU countries e.g. France. It costs £26 for initial registration and provides a 2nd registration plate that has to be fixed to the rear of the caravan?
Thinking of going to Northern Ireland, so looked at Cairnryan to Larne crossing, for which P & O are the only provider. Checked prices online and CMC way more expensive than direct with P&O (should be cheaper or at least price match). A phone call revealed that P&O prices on the CMC website are wrong, and have been for…
Just a heads up for those members using a GOVIVO data sim (Issued with Avtex routers)…be aware that they removed the EU roaming element (25gb) in November 2024. This has been replaced by the EU Roaming Sim at a cost of £44.99 pm on a rolling contract (Min 2 months if you cancel on day of activation). It is separate to your…
Looking to park up our Celtic Rambler for 2/3 months end June-Sept. Anyone any knowledge? would be helpful thanks. It can only be moved with the correct 5th wheel hitch (sorry that might not be obvious on my post) so they probably won't be able to move it. We've seen lots along the way but looking at the central region or…
Any advice on taking the caravan abroad for the first time? Things that maybe aren’t covered in the European brochure? Best ferry crossing? Was thinking maybe Normandy to start with and then on subsequent trips maybe trying to get as far as northern Spain or northern Italy.
Be mindful during busy days, which is most weekends and weekday mornings you presently must use the right-hand lane due to ongoing bridge renovation works. This route now includes a fully automatic road scale – it provides the vehicles weight in seconds identifying overloaded motorhomes and caravan combinations. My…
