There are loads of toll roads in France so we bought a toll tag from emovis. It's brilliant, you only pay when you use it and the money is deducted in one payment at the end of the month. You can then just drive through the tolls without stopping. We got one for Spain but there are not many toll roads so not worth it. They made the motorway that runs down the east coast toll free a couple of years ago.
And if you are going to use toll roads, get yourself the emovis tag, stick it in the windscreen and breeze through all the tolls without clambering around witth tickets and cards. Its all done on direct debit, simple to set up, not expensive, just £5 a month IF you use it. Great if you travel alone as I do. Its Emovis Tag UK Ltd. Obviously all in English.
As a truck driver myself I'd warn you about built up areas, often there won't be a speed limit sign, just the name of the village in red, that's usually 30kph
Don't forget if you go on roads with tolls the pay Booth will be on your left side of the van so you will have to hop across to the passengers seat to pay!
France is good, lots of places to overnight, lots of local villages have one or two place pitches, even supermarkets have certain facilities. I have lived here over 30yrs, have fun.
Get the ‘BipnGo’ toll tag. It does France/Spain/Portugal/Italy…. Works wonderful. We spend 4 or 5 months every year in Europe (Irish passports) …. Relax, don’t rush, slow down & enjoy. It’s wonderful, much easier and different to the UK/ Ireland. Oooh, corkscrew, don’t forget the corkscrew !
Get in practice for jumping into the passenger seat and reaching out the window with your credit card to pay for tolls then jumping back in the driving seat 😂 Ohh and remember as your in Portugal now you’ve started your 90 days in the Shengen EU area out of your 180 day limit 👍🏼
Have a great trip Darren, you will love it. You will see how much better set up for motorhomes and campervans the rest of Europe is. Our tip would be to do a comparison each day of your route for both Toll and Non-Toll and as long as you have the time and the mileage isn't ridiculously longer take the non toll wherever possible. You will get to see so much more.
Can’t wait to see the “Admiral of the fleet “ (yes that was me in Peterborough) take the land yacht to Europe, we’re getting close ourselves and need as many tips as possible. 👍
A Toll tag for France and LPG system with adapters for use in Europe. The Class 2 toll from A26 CALAIS to A8 LA TURBIE next to Italy is €187.80 About £163.20 . The Superfast Ferries allow Camping on Board to Greece from April to October.
Hi Darren. If find yourself in Mallorca, there aren't any campsites so let me know and I can let you have power water and dump your waste. I'm in Cala D'or a beautiful village on the south east of the island
Blowing my own trumpet...I'm not going into the English lesson today neither going into bad tasted humour but my recommendation is beware of the lumbago ! LOL Enjoy the trip to Europe my Daz ! keep us posted if you visit Belgium and/or Spain ! Hugs xxx
Refillable gas plenty of solar etc. As for France lived and travelled around France for many years ( you can never run out of places to see, a stunning Country). As for parking there are over 2500 Aires, but if safe to do so, you can park pretty much where you want. If you have a problem ask a French person, and if you can speak a few words, most French will speak some English. We will be back in France in a month or so but now travelling down through Spain to visit Family. Spain is now following France for Aires and stop overs. we are now parked up at Carrefour with free electric, water, waste and cassette emptying points . 72 hours allowed.
Near Amsterdam -Vijfhuizen- you have a good camperpark N205 close to the city for 15 euro a night. With water and electricity. I stayed there many times. And you don't have to go on the ringway. Cause yhats green air zone.
Not going on French toll roads will take a long time to travel through France but that could be a good thing. The toll roads can be expensive though like bloody Greece where we're at now. A bit of both would be good, tolls and more country roads. Have a good time. X
Be careful of how speed limits change especially in small towns.I got back to Australia and a couple of months later I had a speeding fine from France.I did pay it so we can go back.
You will love Europe, better roads, better and cheaper places to stop and the list goes on, if you ever get to the the Alicante Spain region gives us a shout as we have lived there for over 20 years 11 of which owing a camper, we have just left Slovenia and are now in Croatia, enjoy your travels.
Hi Darren, We used EE with a slight upgrade, we had internet access through 6 countries 5G was plentiful through Spain and 4G most other places. However we are not You Tubers so not sure how uploading affects things costs, restrictions. We were in Europe this time last year and the heat was really hard work so hope you don't get a heatwave on your travels. Safe travels.
I couldn’t even begin with recommendations, there are so many. But I will say there really is nothing to worry about. Motor homing is so much easier over there. Once you’ve been there a little while you’ll relax and love it….guaranteed. Have fun !
Hi Darran, Mandy and I wish you safe and interesting journeys. We will be watching all your adventures as we are in same boat as you and are awaiting our first trip to Europe. Have a great time.
Hi Darran. I reckon you will have a wonderful time in Europe. You have the right attitude to life and everything in it. The different countries and foods they offer and the different people you will meet, 99% are friendly as you like. I’ve been going over to Europe since my dad had a VW camper. Only thing I would advise is keep hold of your documents and money as safe as possible. Not in obvious places but hide it well when going for a walk or any reason you might have to stop. But take care and enjoy!
My top tip for driving in France - look up how to use French roundabouts, France have several different types and vehicles have different priority rights depending on markings and signs on approach. They are not all like UK, sometimes you have to give way to people pulling onto the roundabout, you will soon get beeped at if you forget. Other tip on country roads is always assume a car will cut a corner on a blind bend. traffic is less but drivers are more erratic and do not look beyond hood when driving. Also many small towns, villages will have priority from right signs [meaning vehicles may pull out onto road in front of you] signs are a yellow diamond with black line through it [yellow diamond without a black line means you have priority], the fine is 135euros if caught not following this road rule. I am sure you will find driving in the EU a joy and less stress in finding a park up for the night. safe travels.
If you want to go into towns or cities, don't forget your emission stickers for France and Germany Less than a fiver each, takes up to 2 weeks to get them, just have to send pic of your V5 Happy Travels
I’m going to Paris in august for the 1st time in August. Can’t wait 😛 only had mine since November last year. I’ll be taking notes. Hope it goes smoothly
You honestly wont get things wrong, The fact is that youll not want to Leave!! They are far superior to looking after vanlifers, We toured France, Spain and Portugal for our first trip... The roads are Incredible, The free parking is Incredible and the life is great
@@TheUrbanMotorhome I promise youll not want to come back to the UK... If i can offer one word of advice it would be to have some way (Mirrors) of seeing left, there was a couple of times i pulled up to a junction etc and because its a UK Van I couldnt see left with the angle, i had to use sight through the side sliding door window at times.... Hope all goes well and enjoy the your looked after by the Europeans
Europe is easy i have to drive over there alot for work I'm a hgv driver. There are so many truck stops places to park etc. You'll be fine it doesn't take long to get used to it
As you have the time set your sat nav to directions without tolls , saves on the cost , just watch where its going to take you with the size of vehicle you have. Traffic in general is much less but avoid Paris ( we learnt the hard way ) . Above all enjoy the experience and have a laugh at yourself when you get it wrong. Looking forward to the vlogs
You will be fine abroad a little hack I use driving abroad is remember your steering wheel has to be nearest to the kerbside then you know you’re on the right side of the road 😀 good luck and enjoy it xx
Totally with you as driving abroad. 70 and would love to take my van abroad. If you are not competent don't do it. I have driven abroad many times delivering antiques and for wine and tobacco.
hahaa i was expecting some one coming over the balcony Daz yeah im going to look at a Mercedes starline tomorrow and ill be thinking of going to france it looks a great place to visit
Have a safe, fun journey, looking forwardvto your videos. P.s did you see the ufo a couple of times on the video......amazing.....may the force be with you!!
I live in the south of France and every town with a population over 5,000 in France have a shower block for anyone to use for a small fee, just don't go on a Friday as some can be very busy if that town has a high muslim population. I will say the one near my house has been closed since Covid but apparently every town by law has to have a shower block if the population is bigger than 5.000 people so i have been told. Great for wild campers who don't have a shower in their van.
You should be terrified. My campervan will get back to the UK repair shop on Monday, fingers crossed. The repatriation process has taken 40, yes, 40 days, and mine is just a long wheel base van. Yours would present more problems. Repaired, recon, or new gearbox in the UK, £1000, £1600, & £2000. The French wanted €4000 to €6000 Euros. So yeh, I be very worried. Myself, I'd be very relectant to venture into the EU again.
@@noodlefringe1802 well, properly serviced, and there are no sensors in the gearbox. No prior signs of impending trouble. The guy who's going to fix/replace says 80k isn't unusual for the gearbox to give up.
We are heading over on the 10th , first time like yourself so I’m eager awaiting your content for tips, does and don’t. Euro Tunnel here we come 🚆. Good luck Darren and perhaps see you on the road 😃 x
I am listening to what you are saying, but very distracted coz I want to colour in the picture your tee shirt. Lol. Is there not any of your you tube friends, already in europe, or would like to travel with you. I would be too nervous driving abroad by myself, traveling & languages don't worry me I went down to Australia by myself to link up with my mums cousins.
Get a International Driving Permit and a Global Health Insurance Card.Carry receipts for all your camera gear and electronic equipment.Get a Revolut card.Don't use toll roads because with a tri-axle van you will pay the same as an artic truck.Carry US Dollars cash for bribes.
The one thing I'd do BEFORE going into Europe for the first time is get a refillable gas cylinder of some kind and a set of EU adapters. We learned the hard way that Calor isn't available!!
Was that Rab Nesbitt in the back ground giving it down the backs ? Anyway, you will need deep pockets if you have a breakdown on your euro trip, I had a break down in france and had to pay 250 euros for a small rubber hose that had burst on my cars engine, I had to wait for 4 days for the hose to arrive at the local car dealer, as my car, (Astra), was classed as a foreign car..... Luckily my european breakdown cover included hotel costs while waiting for the repair to be sorted. Best of luck and have a good trip. Richie
Morning Daz hope all is well is there anything that you can do so we could follow your step by step journey when your abroad I’m sure I’ve seen something like it before
Some people use Polarsteps. I used it for a cycling event a couple of years ago. However it's rare that a Vanlife channel gives their real time location outside of festivals - it's a security thing. 😊
@@Mevi thanks for the reply-- true what you are saying I can understand that --I was sure that I seen something on another vlog rob&lynn on tour they used something maybe that was it thanks again
Hi mate. Can you tell me who you got your breakdown cover with for your mh. We are looking at getting a bigger one like yours with a tag axle. But can’t find anyone to cover because of the weight and length. Cheers mate. Love your videos.
Bip and go auto toll card - definitely worth buying. Otherwise you’ll have to get out of van to go to the machine to pay the tolls etc plus sometimes tolls won’t accept cards etc
Enjoy - driving in Europe is much easier than the UK. One quick tip take a range of tap connectors and a watering can. Make sure you have registered for cirt air if travelling to France main cities. It’s big so don’t underestimate the travel. But most of all have fun and enjoy.
Mate you're so chilled you're almost horizontal! Even a murder going on in the background doesn't put you off your TH-cam mission. It took until the end of the video for someone to eventually call the Police.😂😂😂
Daz, I bought a new MH in Germany in 2021 at 73. I set off on my first trip around Europe for a year. Last year I went to England for the first time just because my Schengen days ran out and I needed to wait until I got some back. I did the same in Croatia (now in Schengen) Turkey, Bulgaria and Cyprus. Believe me, England was the hardest and most unfriendly place out of the whole. The rest was so friendly and easy. I had 3 police knocks. They used Google Translate. They gave their first names. They were friendly. One was to tell me to lock my bike as I wasn't in a safe place. All were to help me, not to make me move on. Diesel, Ad Blue pumps and LPG at all gas stations. My motto was Find a Lidl. Can park up for a few hours, unbovvered. Head for graveyards for parking and water. I'm in Portugal now. Loving it.
Hi Darran,for your first stock up on food it’s got to be the Hypermarket at Grande Synthe, not far from Calais & just off the motorway at Dunkeque, large car park so you will fit in without any problems. I think John & Mandy stopped there when they arrived in France last week. If it’s the first Hypermarket you’ve been to your in for a treat 😊 What Three Words (for car park) spinning.holds.nesting Have a great time. Bonnes vacances

In the first few seconds of this vlog the is a UFO flying across the screen behind you... 🙃
I’m so glad it was just me!
How mad is that
I saw it too 16:18 in and it just blinks in and out high strangeness
I noticed that, and the sound of the guy being attacked under the balcony?
Okay so I almost spat out my coffee - was that real or photoshop ?

@@Mevithat’s a shame I was looking forward to catching up with you it’s been ages since you did that bike marathon. Enjoy Europe😊
@@paulvose3177 and I'm bike training again. 🤫
No doubt you'll catch me at another one. Take care. 👊😎
Daz, I bought a new MH in Germany in 2021 at 73. I set off on my first trip around Europe for a year. Last year I went to England for the first time just because my Schengen days ran out and I needed to wait until I got some back. I did the same in Croatia (now in Schengen) Turkey, Bulgaria and Cyprus. Believe me, England was the hardest and most unfriendly place out of the whole. The rest was so friendly and easy. I had 3 police knocks. They used Google Translate. They gave their first names. They were friendly. One was to tell me to lock my bike as I wasn't in a safe place. All were to help me, not to make me move on. Diesel, Ad Blue pumps and LPG at all gas stations. My motto was Find a Lidl. Can park up for a few hours, unbovvered. Head for graveyards for parking and water. I'm in Portugal now. Loving it.
Just remember to drive on the wrong side of the road

Hi Darran,for your first stock up on food it’s got to be the Hypermarket at Grande Synthe, not far from Calais & just off the motorway at Dunkeque, large car park so you will fit in without any problems. I think John & Mandy stopped there when they arrived in France last week. If it’s the first Hypermarket you’ve been to your in for a treat 😊
What Three Words (for car park)
spinning.holds.nesting
Have a great time.
Bonnes vacances
😎👍 chicken wings for dinner.
