This is not just a video but i must say its so important video for everyone who plans to travel and well prepared plans schedule things to carry and it's so useful information its so important,thank you so much for sharing this,have a great weekend to loveliest couple ❤
@@NBNatureTrailvan you're Most Welcome Dear Respected Friend,i completely understand and I'm so happy and glad that you'll are doing good and you guys are inspiration for me in many ways to be honest 😊🙏😊
I have only eve5r driven abroad once when my son was playing squash and I drove to France and Belgium and hated ever single second of it. It never stopped raining for the 3 days we were there and never seen rain like it before. So much to think about and organise before you go and not just a case of filling up and driving over there. To be fair it sounds like you are well organised and well prepared - time will tell lol, take care, cheers Alan
Cheers Alan mate. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that we have thought of everything 🤞🤞🤞. Don’t mind driving g in Europe but we’ve never done it in a big jalopy like this! Although Europe is so much more accommodating to campervans and motorhomes and the roads are so much better, so we’re nervous but looking forward to it too.
Ooh exciting times guys! A road trip through Europe! Something we would love to do🤩🙌. Some great hints and tips there too for anyone off on their travels. We will look forward to the vlogs of your adventures. All the best, Shell and Pete 😊👊👍
Thanks guys. A bit nervous but excited to get going. So many places to see and we’re meeting our daughter and Son In Law and grandkids at a site in Austria. Lots to learn and mistakes to be made - hopefully not too many 🤞🤞 Hope you two are having a good week
Hello Dave and Sue, a nice comprehensive list of items than you will need to take with you abroad. Will be looking forward to your next video, take care x Julie and Tony x
Thanks Julie and Tony, we’re really excited to discover new places but nervous about how we will do. I think we’ll be fine just a lot of new stuff at our age 😃😃
@@NBNatureTrailvan yes I know what you are saying, think we would feel the same. We will be here to support you both, I’m sure you will do fabulously xx
I would have never thought about the currency exchange rate very good advice. All the preparations is something to plan. Looks like the two of you have read up on a lot of things. Have a great weekend Dave and Sue
Hi both. Hope you have a wonderful time in Europe. Look forward to seeing what you get up to. There’s certainly quite a lot you need to think about. Exchange charges can really rack up. Sounds like a lovely trip. ❤️👍😊
We’re both a bit nervous and excited at the same time! A new step for us and hopefully we’ve thought of 99% of everything! 😃. Will be first time off grid in a few places too 🤞🤞🤞
Great video again. Just a few points to add, you mentioned you had magnetic Angle Morts. These are great for the front but you will need a sticky one for the back of the Adamo. EHIC cards are being replaced by GHIC. Just a reminder for people to check the expiry date on the EHIC and, if needed, apply for GHIC. Revolute card is great, would recommend it, as you have. Have change/coins, not just cards. We found many places in Germany that did not take cards. Coins we essential for some Stellplatz and for getting water and electricity. Have a paper-based map as a backup, the phone signal was not good in some places. I can't remember if it was Germany or Belgium (think Germany) where the speed changes are not indicated as you enter a village, you must automatically drop your speed even further by a school. Luckily most sat navs will tell you. Lastly, we read somewhere that the Hi-Viz jackets had to be within your reach so we kept ours in that middle compartment. Have a great trip.
Great advice thanks very much. Chris, mate. I’m now going to check the GHIC cards. I’m sure we have them but not sure about the expiry date. Thanks for the tips on the coins too Ah yes, we always keep the hi viz in the door tidies. And great advice on the speed limits. I honestly had no idea about the schools one 👍 We’re both excited and nervous but looking forward to it so much!!
It seems this trip is coming soon, Dave. I hope the weather will be good, because we have very big fluctuations from +40 to +20 in a few days. I hope August will be more predictable. In general, preparing for a trip is probably the most dopamine-generating procedure, I love this stage❤
Planning is definitely a great part of it all Serge. We’re so looking forward to it. We’re travelling at the end of September so I think the temperatures should be lower (hopefully). Hopefully all our plans are in place but I know we will forget something 😃😃
This is so exciting and we can't wait to share part of the adventure with you! Can't believe there is so much to think of - so much more that what we need to consider just travelling by car!
I know it’s a bit crazy isn’t it! Lots of rules and regs I think you may need the green eco sticker for Germany if you’re going anywhere near the big cities like Munich. Plus the crit air sticker for France. So looking forward to the trip. .
@@NBNatureTrailvan yes, we have both of those, though don’t know if we really need the green one but it was only £5 for us so worth it. Then will need to pick up something for tolls in Austria when we cross the border 👍🏻
Nice video! Wow it’s great to see the first leg preparing for your latest trip - looks like there’s a lot to plan but very exciting all the same! Looking forward to travelling along with you on this trip! Thanks for sharing
Blimey I thought it was hard enough remembering everything when just going abroad. This sounds a bit of minefield. A green badge here, a yellow badge there. This adapter, that adapter. Most mobile companies will do a monthly roaming pass or as you in the past per day. I think it works out cheaper after about 10 days to get the month pass. Look forward to seeing where you visit in Europe as it sounds like you'll be visiting some places I got to last year 🙂
I know Paul, it’s crazy isn’t it. So much to remember and take! I think we will use the roaming passes from our current providers, although apparently you can but local sims when there. Will definitely be re- watching your vids from Bavaria and Austria mate. Son in law still trying to persuade me to do Berchtesgaden, but looking forward to Salzburg and Munich.
Looks like you’re all sorted for your European trip, what a-lot of preparation 😂. When the phone companies stopped offering free European roaming, I went over to O2 / virgin media for my mobile sim, the only one who allow you to use your data - call allowance any where in Europe as if you’re at home, very useful for navigation. Another thing Dave southern Germany & Austria in the past tended prefer cash to cards, it’s a-lot better now but we found there were times when cash only was necessary. Hope you both have a fantastic time and shoot some fantastic footage to share with us all, All the best, Ivor.
Cheers Ivor mate. A bit nervous about Motorhoming in Europe but excited too!! 😃 Thanks for the tip on the cash and the mobile. A couple of other people have also told us that cash is king in Germany especially so we’re going to stock up with Euros 👍👍 We were at one stage, thinking about buying a local Sim card when we get into France but we’ve gone with an unlimited Vodafone sim so we will see how that goes 🤞🤞🤞 Lots to think about but looking forward to it Have a wonderful Sunday and hope you guys are doing better now 🤞🤞
Hi Sue. Thank you very much. Hope it helped. We’re a bit nervous but excited for our first trip. We have driven a lot in Europe over the years but not in a big Motorhome like Florrie. There are certainly more options to stay there than in the UM so we will see how we get on Have a lovely Sunday.
Thanks very much!! That’s very kind of you. We’re a bit nervous about our first trip to Europe in Florrie but excited to explore too. Have a lovely Sunday
You can top up a standard Revolut card while abroad from your U.K. current account. I used an eSIM which cost £100 for unlimited data for three months across Europe. The eSIM is a virtual sim so you can load it on you phone while leaving your existing sim in place. Camping car is great. I was in Europe for three months mid April to July and didn’t book any sites, just turned up. You need to take your original V5. If you are going through the Netherlands you need two warning triangles.
Thanks Richard. That’s really helpful. Yes we think the Revolut card will be useful. And a great tip about the eSIM Never knew about that at all, so I’m looking into that now. Thanks again, we’re so looking forward to the trip!! Dave and Sue.
Hi mate. Hope you guys are well. Yep a bit nervous about taking this big jalopy to Europe but excited as well. I think we have everything covered, but you know what it’s like, you always learn from making mistakes!! 😃😃. Which no doubt we will do!! Have a lovely Sunday 👍👍
Hello Dave and Sue! We are also headed to Europe! In one week. We will be there almost 2 months. But we are not living the vanlife of course... we will be taking trains and staying in all kinds of places. I'm not a fan of driving overseas... We will have to hire a car whilst we are in Germany for a couple days. We will be visiting a few wee ancestral villages that are not accessible by train. You are doing an amazing job preparing all the things you need! I'm glad I don't have to do all that. My biggest problem will be figuring out how to fit everything I need and one small suitcase and a backpack! Lol 😂 Maybe we with cross paths with you somewhere on the continent! Bon voyage! Dara (and Ian)
Oh wow that will be brilliant Dara. Yes we’re a bit nervous, not particularly about the driving, although a 24 foot long Motorhome is going to be interesting! More about the unknowns of park ups and Aires and sites really. But excited to see new places. We’re doing Northern France, Alsace, Black Forest, Bavaria, Austria and the Romantic Road and the Black Forest again on the way back. Going for just over a month We’re not starting until mid August so a while yet but we’re so looking forward to it. And as us Motorhomers say (apparently), 😃, we will see you all the road!
@@NBNatureTrailvan I have a friend in Cheltenham who is also going on a long camper van trip through the European continent soon. She was telling me that it's a lot easier to find park ups in the EU than it is in Britain. Hopefully you won't have troubles, and you will have a great time! I'm so glad you are returning to Alsace again! What a fabulous area❤️ We will be in Belgium, Netherlands, and Germany. I will be spending my 60th birthday in Brussels! In September our son is coming over and we will be celebrating what would have been my father's 100th birthday by visiting the ancestral villages of his German forefathers/mothers. It should be quite an adventure! I don't plan to film very much of it, because nobody watches my European videos. This is a blessing, because it will let me be more "present" and just enjoy what I'm doing! 😉
@@MagentaOtterTravels just fantastic - you’re going to have an amazing trip Dara. How cool to be searching for the lands of your family tree!! Yes, there are so many sites and campsites - when we were in France last year, every village seemed to have an Aire of some kind. Really looking forward to it.
Thanks for doing this, very informative. Hope you're enjoying your trip! Sorry if I've missed it - the lock that you mentioned that goes in the seatbelt clip - where does that go please? Not sure if this goes to the inside cab doors but would be good if it did as there usual locks that clip through the handle on the Fiat cabs don't work on the Ford cab!
Hi David. And thanks for your kind words mate. This lock is a steering wheel lock. It fits through the wheel and then plugs into the seat belt socket. Very sturdy and would take a few minutes to cut through. A lot of these gadgets will hopefully slow down the crooks and make them look for another van!! Here’s the link to the lock amzn.eu/d/bN3q519
Cheers mate, yes the route does look a bit complicated, but they’ve literally just sent an email with a lot of detailed information on the site. Best info we’ve had so far on any site I think 👍👍 Have a good rest of the week👍👍
Happy Weekend Dave & Sue - As always it is fun to watch you and see how you prepare for your trip with Florrie to Europe. There are a lot of practical things to think about and I was stunned to learn that reversed polarity can be an issue in 2024, but so much for European integration:) One thing you did not mention is the question of vaccinations. Now most European countries should not cause any concerns when it comes to ordinary diseases, but with ticks being an increasing issue it might be worthwhile to think about a TBE vaccine depending on where you are going and how much nature you will be exposed to. As you go in September the threat is also a bit reduced, but it can be worthwhile to think about it. And I guess you are getting more and more excited about the trip and it will be fun to watch your further preparations:) All the best, Ant
Thanks very much Ant. Yep couldn’t believe the reverse polarity on sites. Fairly common apparently- hopefully we won’t need the converter. Great advice on the vaccination mate. Yes, we will be walking through potential Tick hazards on this trip so will look into the vaccination. We do wander through a fair bit of deer country at home so we always check and have the tick kit ready. Googling the TBE now. Thanks again mate and have a brilliant Sunday in the North.
@NBNatureTrailvan Incidentally ticks are almost nonexistent up here in the north, but you have mosquitoes and black flies in plenty. So I wear mosquito-repellent clothes which also give protection against ticks. Could be useful for you as well?
Do you need the Angles Morts signs for the Adamo? I thought they were required for over 3.5t but all the Adamo’s have an MTPLM of 3.5t. Have you upplated?
Hi Graeme. Yes we’ve up plated to 3,850. The payload when we bought it was around 345kg, including a 75kg driver and not much else. So in effect we doubled the payload Did it through SV Tech - £325 and then you get a road tax rebate of £165 We had planned to up rate as soon as we bought her 👍👍
