Hi folks ,
We travelled between the end of May and spent 6 weeks travelling in Norway and Sweden. Our simplified route from Malmo was was along the EO6 to Mo I Rana then the coastal route 17 to Boda and ferry to Lofotens. Then up through the Lofotens continuing to Senja and the islands to the west of Tromso.Then across to E08 and a quick visit to Finland returning through Sweden by the E45. Generally the roads were good especially in Sweden and relatively quiet .The route through Sweden is probably easier and slightly quicker. It was a lovely trip , but the driving distances are long so 5/ 6 weeks would ideally be the minimum. Its very popular with motorhomes but with a bit of imagination its easy to get off the beaten track and find great spots to stay and do some hikes.
The following are just a few bits of info which may useful.
1. Both countries are almost cashless so a credit card is a must especially as many fuel stations are not staffed self service.
2. LPG stations are few and far between especially in the mid/northern parts of both counties.
3. We use an OresundPay tolltag which gives good discounts on the bridges between Denmark and Sweden and is convenient for road tolls and some ferrys
4. The Campersite Norway app is good for free camping , aires and campsites and worth the small fee.
Hope this may be useful and thank to all who answered my previous posts .PS the Lofotens were really nice ,just busy .
