    Use Via Michelin on-line for the route and the Club's Touring Europe site guide for the stopovers. Cheers.

    You might get a few tips
    here     my route, with campsites en route goes Calais, Belgium round Brussels, Liege, into German   through German to Austria near Salzburg down A10 to Villach then you can go through Slovenia to Croatia.  We have tandem axle never had a problem.  Any question
    please ask.

    There is a page on European Routes.

    After ten years of going to Rovinj, I have used every route out. The one I like the best is:-Calais, Reims, Metz, Strasburg, Basel, Lucerne, Milan, Garda, Venice, Trieste, Rovinj. Pick your distance to travel each day look at ACSI CD for campsite near route,
    phone ahead to check on TA and reception opening time.

    Problem is going through Switzerland makes it very expensive.especially if you have a car and caravan puts around £50 on the trip.

    Sorry but I must add.

    1. Stay at side of road instead of site ...save money.

    2. Don't use tollroads..... save money.

    3. Don't go to countries that charge vignittes......save money.

    4. Don,t use tunnel/ferries.....save money.

    5. Stay at home and save even more money!!!

    After driving 2000 miles to Croatia and back I do not think £50 is a major factor in deciding the route, but that may be yours.
