Just returned from 2 weeks skiing in Mayrhofen Austria, great snow and great skiing. We travelled down in the RMB it is a long way at 60mph, about 800 miles each way. We averaged about 25mpg for the whole trip, some very cold weather on the way down -18 degrees.
The RMB can handle the cold without problems as 2 Truma Blown air boilers fitted, our fresh water and toilet tank did not freeze, the waste tank had slight freezing. What we learned was.
The campsite give you wooden pallets to go outside your entry door otherwise you carry lots of snow into the van.
You need a large watering can and also water container as all the external water taps will be frozen solid. You fill the water container and he decant into the van via the watering can, it works well.
Normally we use about 0.5 kg of gas per day, in these conditions 1 to 1.5 kg per day, many LPG stations on the main motorways in Belgium and Germany and cheap in Belgium about 0.65 euro cents per litre.
Going to Austria is similar distance to the French Ski resorts but no road tolls. In Austria you only need vignette or Go Box for motorways not ordinary roads. Easy route to all the major Austrian ski resorts without using motorway south of Munich.
The following are some pics from trip
This was on the way down in Belgium it was early morning and -18 degrees here
This is what it is all about the skier is my wife Anna
On this holiday we skied our first Black slopes, this is Anna about to go off the "cliff" Black slope 4 Mayrhofen
It was really cold again on the way back, just look at the icicles on the from wheel !!!
