Each section is designed to provide comprehensive information, ensuring your motorhome adventure through Europe is smooth, memorable, and filled with wonder. Whether you’re a seasoned road warrior or just starting out, our guide is here to accompany you on every mile of your European journey.

For most European countries, a standard car driving license is sufficient for motorhomes up to 3.5 tonnes. If your motorhome exceeds this weight, you might need an additional category on your license. It’s also recommended to have an International Driving Permit (IDP) for certain countries.

Wild camping rules vary by country. Some countries, like Spain and Portugal, have areas where wild camping is permitted. Others, like France, allow “aires” which are specific spots for motorhomes. Always check local regulations and respect the environment.

Campsites in Europe can range from €10 to €50 per night, depending on the location, facilities, and season. Popular tourist areas and fully-equipped campsites tend to be on the higher end of the range.

While major highways and roads in Europe are motorhome-friendly, be cautious in older towns and villages with narrow streets. Research routes in advance, especially in mountainous regions.

Many European campsites offer electrical hook-ups. It’s essential to have the right adapter for European sockets. For gas, refillable LPG bottles are recommended as they can be topped up across Europe.

Europe is generally safe for motorhome travel. However, always take precautions. Use designated campsites when possible, lock your motorhome securely, and be wary of leaving valuables on display.

Toll road costs vary based on vehicle size and the distance traveled. Many countries offer electronic toll systems or vignettes (pre-paid stickers). Plan your route to determine potential toll costs.

Ensure your motorhome insurance covers European travel. It’s also recommended to have breakdown cover that includes European assistance.
