You should start a travel thread with this trip as I'd like to keep track off it ....id like to do a similar trip perhaps next yearHere is the route I have planned using Search for Sites and Camper Contact, some paid, some free. I am taking enough food for the entire journey, not stopping for shopping, everything is on board.
It is pedal to the metal - total route not allowing for detours is 5500 miles and around 105 hours of driving in total.
Departing 10th September - get back 16th October which allows me 2 days in Copenhagen, 2 days in Stockholm, 4 days in and around Tromso, 2 days Helsinki, 2 days Riga, 2 days Warsaw and 2 days Hannover.
Military operation - travelling days depart by 6:30am arriving at each place in good time to get settled and explore the rest of the day, electric bike on board so ready to rock and roll - just waiting for the Ocado truck to deliver the food next Wednesday
Will be sure to send photos and updates

Have a great trip but if you are going that far north why are you missing the Lofoten Islands? That's the featherery bits to the left of the top bit.Here is the route I have planned using Search for Sites and Camper Contact, some paid, some free.

Anybody tell me what automatic toll wotsits it would be handy to have or are essential - countries are France, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland.
Anything I can sort in advance or do I need to do as I enter the country?
Thanks
We made the decision to leave for Europe on 16th August. We're now in Portugal enjoying sunny, cloudless days.
I'm Currently sat on a terrace enjoying a cold Sagres in 34°c.
The aire we're at usually has many Brit, Dutch, French, German and Belgian visitors. This year, we're one of two Brits here and there are no French, Belgians, Dutch or Germans here and haven't been for the last week. However, there are many more Portugese and Spanish motorhomes than usual. I guess staycations are big in 2020.
I can see the scamdemic is having the desired effect in keeping people from travelling due to the "fear" of Covid and the fear of quarantine, the punishment for having the cheek to want to spend time holidaying in a foreign country.
We're trying our best to forget the scamdemic in the same way as we're ignoring Brexit.
Have a great time away and meet (a few less) like minded people.
At Eurotunnel in Folkestone. I am the ONLY vehicle here .

Actually it’s more the problem with motor insurance!!! Currently away but not before FO said essential journeys only!! So had to tunnel - do anyway - and high tail to Germany.
It’s not Covid I’m bothered about as am quite high risk but rather be legal. My life is mine and I know the risks so will take precautions as I would at home. But only got x. Years left - I want to continue doing it now whilst I still can

No problem with motor insuranceI think insurance wise, it's travel insurance that is affected, if it were motor insurance then I imagine insurance companies would have to advise their customers if coverage would be lost whilst travelling abroad.
The travel insurance ive bought covers me for emergency medical assistance due to covid and repatriation if necessary but doesn't cover any other losses due to covidNo problem with motor insurance
travel insurance. I could not get a straightanswer from NFU as to whether medical cover was cancelled for all countries Re Covid. Have taken a single policy with post office in addition which does definitely cover medical in all countries except where FCI advise against
