Hi Guys
Help needed please.
I intend to do some continental touring in a few months, but I have no specific plans as yet, but I do want to do some continental touring in my new van to get some experience driving in Europe.
However I have been reading on another site other Motorhomers experiences with Tolls in Germany, Switzerland and Austria, from what I can gather in France, the advice is, just set the sat nav to avoid tolls and I shouldn't have a problem.
Others have been suggesting getting a "go box" for their vans if it is over 3500kg like mine. The cost of tolls in Europe is extortionate and I don't want to get stung with a large fine for the sake of not being prepared.
So I wondered what advice other funsters could give me, should I be aware of any limitations for my 7500kg van on the continent? Any experiences they have had with tolls in Europe because that would be useful.
This follows on from reading about the "Highway Robbery in Poland" post on 22nd June
I am considering Spain, Italy, Germany, Portugal, is there any where to seriously avoid?
With Ferry prices high, fuel prices high and toll prices high touring Europe ain't cheap. So any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks Guys
Gary
