A Must-Read for any RVer OR European Tourist

Details! Details! Details! WOW! You won't believe it. The main part of the book is 169 pages, with 143 more in Appendices, for a total of 312 pages. And, these are 8x10 pages, not the standard pocketbook size. Even if you don't have an RV, this is a must-read! It takes you day-by-day around the back roads of Europe, leading you through places you don't read about in the travel brochures. It didn't take me more than a few chapters of reading about the complexities of taking your own RV to Europe to convince me that it was something I'd probably never do, but if you're considering doing it, this book will tell you EVERYTHING you need to know. Read the book first for entertainment, then keep it as a reference. I would bet that you'll never see a book with this much attention to details, including photos whenever they're needed to clarify a point. And that's just the main part of the book -- they go on in the Appendices with 80 pages of letters they wrote home during their trips, very useful notes on 17 European countries, followed by info on ports, suppliers, useful internet sites, and European RV dealers/renters. Their notes and recommendations are REQUIRED for an RVer, but INVALUABLE to someone planning to travel Europe in any manner whatsoever.

Here we have a retired couple with alot more energy and perserverance than I've ever had. They take you step-by-step through the process of why they decided to ship their RV instead of renting/buying one when they got there, finding the most cost-effective ways to do the shipping, and then finding their way around Europe in a manner that assured that they made the most of their time and money. They even go into details on how to save money on your second (and subsequent) trip(s). If you're interested in visiting, driving, shopping, eating, camping, touring, enjoying scenery, or just reading about Europe, this is your book.

A candid guide to seeing Europe at one's own pace

Take Your RV To Europe is a straightforward guide to touring Europe long-term in the most economical manner possible - by RV! Chapters address how to calculate costs, preparing an RV for Europe, the shipping process, the campground scene, how to stay in touch, the author's personal experiences, and much more. Appendices summarize useful things to know about various European countries, including where to get tourist information prior to the trip, security issues, emergency telephone numbers, essential equipment, highway information particularly regarding tolls, and more. A no-nonsense, candid guide to seeing Europe at one's own pace.

I agree, details, plus a nice style.

This is a well-written book. I've not RV'd in Europe yet, but I sure want to. This book helped me see the ups and downs a little more clearly.
