Best of the best
Advice is to just do it but stay safe, keep away from parking in/on service area’s, if you want to overnite look for a little village/town of the main though-fare and check it out.
Drive through it, clock the bar and supermarche the park sensibly on the outskirts, locals will always welcome you, especially if you are shopping in their town.
Aires are brill, you can usually stay 72 hours, sometimes longer, look at the info in the book. Some !!!! even offer free lecky, most you have to pay for… a couple of €’s.Water is free, don’t use the hoses, use your own. The t**sers in motor-homes may have washed their cassette toilets out, have seen them and told them off, for what it’s worth.
Those near a classical cities/towns will be crowded by our foreign brethren with washing out, drive on there are so many undiscovered beautiful towns in Spain, France and Italy, ooops! Forgot Portugal, one of the nicest places to visit.Basic advice get on the road, and say hello.

Don’t join the CCCclub waste of money, unless you have a million buck motorhome and a horse at home, sorry worked for them for over 10 years. Biased in a bad way.
Passion sites and aires are brill, ACSI too, you only have to use a few c/sites abroad to get your money back.The Aires site book is good to get, it’s really expensive this year, but once you have it it’s good for the next decade. Look up Vicarious Books, vicarious-shop.co.uk best place to get it, unless you want a couple of years old copy from fleabay for a tenner.

Import
It’s not an easy ride to import a vehicle, headlights have to be changed and you have to approach the maker for a special document(cert of conformity)&(commission notice) stating it is Euro standards.
Then apply to VOSA for testing.
Points to remember.. It’s a left hooker, higher insurance. All of this takes time, whilst you are waiting you will have to get special insurance to be able to drive it. (Adrian Flux-expensive)Mine took 4 months and a lot of running about.

Transit
We have just bought the same vehicle, well nearly, it’s a minibus with a 2.4 engine. Just stripped it out and insulation and wiring done, next panels going up. As soon as the weather dry’s out!The pain is fitting roof-lites to the Transit roof.

If you buy a Euro vehicle, remember left hooker, difficult to insure.(In UK)
Difficult to re-register.
Pro’s, you can drive on the continent confidently.We bought a R/Master in Spain great until we tried to bring it home, took us 6 months to sort out paperwork.
Okay if you live in Europe.Fly in ointment
