Swiss vignette
Been online to buy Swiss Vignette, realise you need one for car and one for caravan but do you just buy two of the same type ?

Yes both alike and both 40 Swiss francs.
If for some reason you don't get there buying in advance means you have wasted your money - so buying at the border on arrival is safer !

I would ensure I had the cash to pay as that’s by far the quickest.
They took my Euros, stuck one on the windscreen, passed us the other and we were off.

The vignettes only apply to trunk routes and autoroutes and far as I know. I've just come back from Konstanz via Neuhausen am Rheinfall. As it was only a day, I found a route that avoided them before nipping back into Germany.

There's a map on line of roads where Swiss vignettes are required. Several places can be reached without them.

If you have the time it is perfectly feasible to travel across Switzerland with a motorhome or caravan on the N roads. Some of these may use mountain passes, occasionally which, e.g. from Klosters to Santa Maria Val Mustair are very high at 2 - 2,500 metres, although these are the exception. Generally whilst climbing most of the countries higher main roads to say 800 to 1000 metres, the gradients are usually gentle and the roads well maintained and reasonably wide. Your average speed will, however, be quite low, perhaps 25 to 30 mph, as there are many small villages and the roads can be quite windy due to the topography.
The whole country is on Google which makes checking out the road network very easily. I doesn't take long to check out a proposed route to see what the gradients are like and whether they are wide enough for your outfit.

OK bit picky about passports but we were stopped entering and asked the purpose of our visit can`t remember if we showed passports exactly but two border officers were asking more questions than normal last summer then we were directed to the layby area.
