Hi all,
Discovered this site on my way around the net. Looks interesting. We are planning a European trip for later this year and currently doing some research on where to go and what to do. Look forward to chatting with some of you along the way.

Cheers for now.

Touring around Europe
Hi there,

I’m a kiwi resident in UK and my hubby and I (he’s a brit) travelled through Europe in Sept – Nov 2012. Here’s a link to the blog I ran over the time – it has lots of tips and ideas of what to do, what you may expect etc.

We had a fabulous time and met lots of great kiwi while we were out. You’ll have a great time and fun traveling.

Heres a few specific links to Kiwis:

Plus the link immediately above has a few tips about travelling together because it is very much a test!

Cheers

Buying Camper in UK/Europe
There are a number of ways to purchase a camper van but my questions to you would be:

1. What is your proposed route?
2. How much time do you expect to spend in the UK?
3. Are you intending to resell and if so where?

We’re resident in the UK so expect to use our van here a lot so purchased privately via http://www.preloved.co.uk – The young Kiwi’s we met in Pompeii had friends in London so they organised the purchase of their vehicle privately. E-bay is okay but its a big machine. Smaller sites such as http://www.gumtree.com/campervans-motorhomes/uk and the specific camper/caravan sites such as http://motorhomes.autotrader.co.uk probably better. It’s easier to exchange emails and make offer using non-E-bay sites.

The older couple we met in Chertsy (near Twichenham) bought their van new and exported to back to NZ. They used a dealer.

HOWEVER, if you intend spending most of your time in Europe, we know an Aussie couple who bought in the Nederlands and found they were able to sell the van when they finished their tour.

You can drive either left or right hand drive through-out the UK and Europe so its neither here-nor-there but it can cause problems with overtaking especially large trucks etc if the driver is located on the curbside of the road. Personal preference.

Glad to exchange tips and answer any of your questions.

Regards

Billie
