❌ Tolls, Vignettes & Clean Air Zones: What Many Motorhome Owners Get Wrong

If you're taking your motorhome or campervan to Europe, there are three things which seem to cause a ridiculous amount of confusion:

Tolls. Vignettes. And low-emission stickers.

People mix them up all the time, and to be fair, Europe really doesn't make this easy because different countries have different systems — and sometimes they even use the same WORD for completely different things.

So in this video, I'm going to explain the difference between them, which countries you're likely to encounter them in, and most importantly, how to work out exactly what you need for YOUR trip.

Because you absolutely do not need to buy every sticker, pass and permit you see advertised on the internet.

And actually, in some countries, you might not need anything at all!

📱 What’s the best way to stay connected when travelling around Europe?

I get asked this ALL the time — and unfortunately, there isn't one perfect answer! It really depends on how much data you use, how long you're travelling, which countries you're visiting, and how important having a reliable connection is.

I’ve used different options over the years, and there are pros and cons to all of them.

So, what would you choose for your European road trip? 👇

Honestly… I never know how to answer that. 😂

After 90,000+ miles touring Europe, I have lots of favourites — but the best place for you depends entirely on the kind of trip you want.

🇫🇷 France is one of the most diverse and beautiful countries in Europe, packed with history, culture and incredible food!!

If you’ve not been before, go to:

- Paris for its iconic landmarks, world-class museums, and romantic atmosphere. Don’t miss the Eiffel Tower at sunset — even if you’re not usually into tourist hotspots

- Lyon. A stunning riverside city with amazing gastronomy and beautiful old town streets. There’s always a festival or food market to explore

- Nice, famous for its Mediterranean coastline and colourful Old Town

- Strasbourg is a wonderful ‘fairytale city’, full of half-timbered houses, canals, and a charming historic centre.

Which of these cities would you most like to visit (or which was your favourite if you’ve been to them all)?!

NOTE: I just wanted to acknowledge the awful wildfires happening in parts of France and elsewhere in southern Europe. My thoughts are with everyone affected, especially the local communities and emergency services working so hard.

The places I'm sharing below aren't intended as "go there now" recommendations. They're simply places to add to your future road trip wish list, and explore when it's safe to do so.
