I don't know of any Morelo for sale though

Are any Morelo's 4WD?
Twin RWD I guess

Well after the excitement of reaching the Nordkapp we decided to head in the Hammerfest direction but after having a few park ups in mind that turned out not so good we found this park up for tonight! Hoping for peace and quiet

Well last night didn’t go to plan, after a very peaceful evening watching the boats go by etc then at around 10.30pm some t##t in an old merc estate decided to come into the small car park and do some donuts flicking all the small rocks towards the van, did about 5 then buggered off, fortunately none hit the van, but by then we weren’t gonna get any sleep, so we packed up in the dark and moved on. I don’t get it, this was a sleepy fishing village about two miles off the main road from Hammerfest, there’s hardly anyone about and this happens

That’s bad, and unsettling. Hope you found somewhere else to stop.

That's a shame.

Unique world premiere – fully integrated TRAQ with four-wheel drive - Kabe

KABE is once again pushing the boundaries of premium motorhomes. Together with Mercedes-Benz, we are introducing our first fully integrated motorhome with optional all-wheel drive. For the 2027 model year, KABE is therefore the only motorhome manufacturer to offer a fully integrated model with...

Kabe just announced its new AWD models on MB chassis. Focus is obviously not offroading, but winter and towing.

 

[WESTY66]

That's a shame.

Yes it is and I’ve said this to a few friends but after being in Norway for about a week, it just isn’t doing it for me and last night soured it even more (yes I know it happens in EVERY country), I’m tempted to rush down the Atlantic road and get into Denmark or Germany

You've done what you wanted and got to Nordkap so maybe it won't be too bad to head south, maybe a bit slower than a rush.

 

[Flairy]

Germany nice Ady only down the road but there’s plonkers everywhere

 

[bobnick]

Wouldn't let a minor incident? spoil it for you, crack on as you are doing.

Don't give up on Norway already. You haven't got close to seeing any of the breathtaking bits yet. Head down to Tromsø, ferry over to Senja and then the Lofortens (should be a lot quieter than the overcrowded peak season), then wander down the Atlantic coast to the western Fjords. Great driving roads and spectacular scenery.

Don't forget to stray from the main "E" roads as much as possible, but use the National Tourist Routes instead.

Yeah, I think it’s always good to leave at least 1 day, ideally 2, before making any changes of plan. This makes sure you’ve settled down and are not making a decision in the heat of the moment.

 

[paddymcc]

Norway has so much to offer more than idiots doing donuts. Don't give up on it yet.

 

[Andy1954]

Don’t let some numpty put you off. We had the best time slightly lower down than where you are now. So much so we are going for 9 weeks next year.

That’s what you meant right??

 

[Barriesimpson]

That’s what you meant right??

Some people just have too much money and are desperately looking for where to spend it

 

[G-RMPS]

We saw lots of tyre skid marks on main roads. Not accidents but deliberate donuts, or whatever. Don’t know if it’s lack of sleep in summer, or cabin fever in the winter.

Unfortunately it’s the birthplace of the “scandi flick”
It’s in their DNA

It wasn’t!!
I didn’t!!

But tonight looks more promising

 

[WESTY66]

Well it hasn’t been an eventful two days, spent Wednesday in Hammerfest (Meh) yesterday in Alta (Meh) and drove down to Bjerkvik where we make a decision to go to Lofoten or not
Hammerfest

And Alta (aurora cathedral)

And got us a nice spot here at Bjerkvik camping

I’m finding the scenery and most of the roads here in Norway breathtaking, most of the towns look like Hicksville and shabby.

The thing that gets me about Norway is that all of it is on top quality rock and yet they mostly build roads that are just wide enough for two trucks/busses to pass with a fag paper between them!! The rock is there for the road base why don’t they use it to make wider roads

Or, you could use “Magic Imposer” to create a nice “selfie”. As we know……”The camera never lies”!
