Hi, my husband and I have been caravanning for 15-20 years. He's a keen mountain-biker and spends many weekends away with our son (now 14) at the races. So we've just stepped up and bought a motorhome to travel around a bit more easily.
Its a biggie, 7.1m long Home Car with a big garage at the back under our bed and an overhead cab for the young man. 8 years old an with a few gremlins that I might need some help with - like a fridge that doesn't get really cold and a damp patch - but it was a good price and we're not afraid of the work to tidy her up.
My biggest questions though are that we plan to tour europe in August. France to Germany to Italy for a world cup race. With the dog.
I can't get a clear answer from google, so I thought I'd ask here. Does anyone know if you have to put a dog in a crate to travel in any of the european countries, or is it just recommended like here? And have the muzzle laws in italy been relaxed, or does she definitely need one Our dog is not used to either muzzle or crate - in fact as she's a giant breed I'm not even sure a crate would fit in the van - so we're not keen on doing this but don't really want to leave her behind.
Any help greatly welcome!
