Some will find my idea weird, some others are possibly having similar thoughts, hopefully some will already have done the same as I want to, it is you I am appealing to, for now at least
I am partially retiring in December and for our first MH escape I would like to take a trip to the top of Norway, next February with the principle objective of seeing the Northern lights
I have looked at routes, mileages fuel costs, price of alcohol and ticked those boxes so far, but am really troubled by .......
Can you drive a standard MH and use it in arctic conditions, we have a winterised MH so fairly OK there, but do I need special tyres? are the roads permanently snow / ice covered in February?
I have heard from an ex army friend that they used to leave all vehicles with their engines running overnight when that far north due to the effects of the cold!!??
So has anybody else done it?
Can I please have positive and negative opinions please
