Book excerpt: Experience the Thrill of Touring Europe by Motorhome Motorhome Europe is the latest practical guide from Jason and Julie Buckley, authors of the ourtour.co.uk motorhome travel blog and the best-selling Motorhome Touring Handbook. Over the years we've travelled tens of thousands of miles across Europe, visiting more than 30 countries and sleeping in over 1,000 places in our campervan and motorhomes. We've had experiences beyond our dreams, which we'd love you to enjoy too. Motorhome Europe distils our experiences into a 330 page, full colour guide. It's packed with inspiration, tips and practical guidance to help you embark on a new adventure abroad, or to expand your horizons to more distant countries across the continent. Which Countries are Covered? Focusing entirely on motorhome travel outside Britain, Motorhome Europe profiles the following countries in the EU and beyond. Those closer to Britain are covered in the most detail. Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. Who is Motorhome Europe For? Motorhome Europe is for anyone with the urge to travel in their own motorhome or campervan, outside Britain in mainland Europe and Ireland. If you’re heading abroad for the first-time, the book will ensure you’re fully prepared. Run through the checklists and descriptions included and you'll be confident you're ready for the coming adventure. If this isn't your first trip abroad, the book offers reminders of what to pack, plus ideas and suggestions for new places to tour. We take you from Norway's North Cape all the way south to Andalusia in Spain, Algarve in Portugal, Sicily and the Peloponnese in Greece. What’s Inside Motorhome Europe? The book is arranged into four parts: Part 1 paints a picture of Europe from a motorhome travel perspective. The types of places there are to stay (campsites, aires, wild camping, restaurants, vineyards, farms & home camping) and ideas for filling your days on the road. Part 2 offers guidance on itinerary planning, where to go and when. Whether you’ve a few days, weeks, months or even years to dedicate to travel. We take you right across the continent, profiling countries from a motorhome travel perspective, how to get there, access toll roads and low emission zones and find places to stay. Colour photos are included to bring the highlights of Europe to life. Part 3 digs down into the detail, providing checklists and practical advice on how to prepare yourselves, your van and your pets for travelling to the continent. Part 4 takes you out onto the road, discussing the practicalities of day-to-day life abroad, from using cross-Channel ferries and the Eurotunnel to driving on the right, buying diesel and using motorhome service points. In the unlikely event something goes awry, we've provided advice for handling problems such as breakdowns and accidents. Thanks for reading folks and happy travels!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although aimed at non US residents there is also a wealth of information for all Americans wishing for their own RV. Delve into this mine of practical information: the book covers a wide range of topics including buying, registering, keeping, and maintaining your motorhome, alongside the more exciting bits of where to go and how to choose your campsites. Colleen and her engineer husband, Alan, have travelled extensively in the last 4 years through the USA in a 30' motorhome. So what? Lots of people are travelling like that in America! The difference is that they live in Europe and had to learn to cope with the difficulties of owning an RV from afar. At first it seemed an impossible thing to do but with determination and the help of the internet they solved all the problems. Now they are able to spend two to three months, twice a year, meandering in their own time through rural America. Extraordinarily satisfying.Although an apparently expensive project, the fact that they spend most of their time "boondocking" (free camping in gorgeous places) makes the whole thing affordable.The vehicle is always stored within reach of an international airport for when they have to return to Europe. To remain in a serviceable state ready for their next trip a great deal of thought and planning has been given to the whole project. This book is the product of their gathered experience. Hopefully you will find it useful and maybe it will give you the incentive to try the same thing ... the joys of having time to "stop and stare" cannot be measured. Try it!

Book excerpt: Travelling to North Africa and touring Morocco in your campervan or motorhome couldn't be easier with Motorhome Morocco. Get this English-language guidebook to answer your questions on entering the country, travelling it safely, finding campsites, taking your dog, buying essentials, visiting some of the best sights and handling the language. This second edition of the guide was completely revised in 2017 and subsequently updated for 2020 with the latest information about insurance, the border process, ferry tickets, prices, parking locations and so on. It includes photographs from across Morocco - colour in the eBook, black & white in printed copies - to give you an idea of the incredible landscapes, wonderful people and vibrant towns and cities you'll find there. For a country that's closer to Spain than France is to England, Morocco is so very different to Europe, but such a great adventure. We toured the country in our motorhome in 2012 and again in 2017, spending four months there in total. After our first tour we wrote a book about our experiences and what we learned, to help you to get there and have a great adventure too. We travelled in winter on both tours and crossed the Rif, Middle Atlas, High Atlas and Anti-Atlas Mountains, visited the incredible cities of Fes, Meknes and Marrakech and slept on the edge of the Sahara desert near Algeria. We bartered and haggled and came away with some great bargains and many, many happy memories. The book focuses on the practical, first hand experience we gained on taking our motorhome to Morocco. It covers topics such as: Buying ferry tickets in Spain An easy step-by-step guide to entering and leaving Morocco Insurance Driving a motorhome in Morocco How to buy things, when to haggle and when not to Coping with breakdowns How to find places to stay Our experience of taking our dog to Africa Confusing aspects of Moroccan life, and how to cope with them What campsites and guarded parking overnight locations we used We didn't use an organised tour company for either trip, so we saved ourselves thousands of pounds and gave ourselves the freedom to explore this amazing country at our own pace. We hope our book will inspire you to do the same. For more information about our time in Morocco, including more photos and videos, please visit our website: www.ourtour.co.uk. Thanks, Julie and Jason
