Hello
I am interested in making a trip to northern Norway to see the Aurora Borealis and the local landscape, and I would like to find out what things I need to take into consideration when making the trip.
Once into Norway the route I would like to take is the E6 from Oslo, up to the Tromsø, Alta and Treriksröset areas, with a possible trip further north.
The period would be some time between September and mid-April, so I have some choice when it comes to avoiding poor road conditions.
When travelling in a motorhome in Norway, is it okay to make overnight stops in lay-bys and service station car parks, or is that not the done thing over there? Also, are there tolls to pay on the E6? I have seen that there is a ferry from Bognes to Skarberget, but the rest of the route looks reasonably straight forward.
Apart from the obvious considerations with vehicle heating, are there any other necessities when preparing for a trip that far north during the above-mentioned period? Will I need special tyres or any other modifications for cold weather (diesel-engined front-wheel drive camper)?
Thanks very much
Mike
