Thank you, then it’s the same as other mentioned countries. In Ro you need one to.No need to buy online if you don’t want to, the service stations coming up to the borders have signs saying they sell them as well as service stations just after the border.
If there is a border, Serbia springs to mind, there is shop selling vignettes. All painless I just paid by card, of course not busy when we came through so It was not a problem, if you are filling up you can do it same time as paying for fuel. Nothing required, Reg number and country of origin ie UK.
Austria, Hungary and Bulgaria required vignettes. We didn’t go through Romania, I believe it’s a requirement there as well. Only Austria gave a windscreen sticker, the remainder are policed electronically. We purchased minimum which was 10 days.

Not always unfortunatelyl make a point of having my vehicle serviced whilst abroad,so much more professional and efficient when compared to U.K.
I don’t know weather that’s luck or good fortune but what a nightmare you would have faced had it come out whilst travelling.Not always unfortunately
Had my Iveco serviced by a German dealer last year and as recommended the diff oil changed, got home and parked it up on my brand new drive.
Few weeks later pulled it out to give it a wash ready to go away again and noticed oil on the drive
Took it to someone with a pit who said the diff plug was loose and had leaked out about 30% of the oil!!
Lucky I caught it before it did damage.
Trust no one is my motto
Yes as probably did another few K after the serviceI don’t know weather that’s luck or good fortune but what a nightmare you would have faced had it come out whilst travelling.

You got a good deal! It was 26 Euros a night in April Great site though, really handy for bus into Plovdiv, and the BEST toilets and showers. I imagine it will be full of families in the High Season, because the play area looked great fun!So a continuation of day 7 and we ( minus one motorhome) continued onwards to Bulgari.
Quite a short day as we had lost a few hours in Serbia, you know what it’s like when you stop.
Anyway we headed for Plovdiv, specifically, Camping Alliance.
Bit of a back story here, Sat Nav said we were arriving in 6 minutes,I thought we had another hour to go, clocks had altered! Sat Nav picked it up we didn’t until we looked at phone, which now worked.
A large modern hotel at the front of the site, it looked deserted, we thought another one closed and I decided we would just park up out front. Wandering up to the barrier there was a sign saying internet booking only and their web address. Not a problem, ipad tethered to phone.
Whilst I am reading the sign, a window opened and a young Bulgarian woman asked could she help. Success, she opened reception and booked me in via my I pad, Expalined I would get an e mail with a QR code for entrance, toilet and showers. She explained they were all internet based and usually nobody on site, she obviously took pity on the old fart trying to gain access!
What a site, absolutely wonderful, equivalent to the best French campsites, really well sized pitches with individual water and ECU hook up. She explained the large toilet block, dish washing area etc was still closed because of winter but one toilet block was open. Fully tiled out, heated and constant hot water for a shower, luxury.
They even had an automated machine in Which you could place you toilet cassette, it then emptied it, flushed it all out, disinfected it and filled it with the required cassette stuff. I think that worked for your QR code but I was frightened to use it!
There was a BBQ area with built in BBQ as well as a massive grindstone to sharpen knives.
The next day, prior to departure, you logged onto your booking and they calculated your electricity costs, obviously you couldn’t get out of the barrier on your QR code if you hadn’t paid.
In fact less than a euro no charge. We hadn’t used any electric so all was good.
That one night in a first class site reinvigorated us, this was how it was supposed to be!
It cost us €15, the young woman had told me they were doing an offer up to the end of March.
We would have paid double for the facilities after the previous night.
