Motorhome Europe – Beyond Britain: Your Essential Companion for Touring Europe by Motorhome and Campervan
Experience the excitement and adventure of a motorhome tour outside Britain with Motorhome Europe.
Motorhome Europe is a 330 page full-colour paperback. It’s the latest practical motorhome touring guide from Jason and Julie Buckley, authors of the ourtour.co.uk travel blog and the best-selling Motorhome Touring Handbook.
The Motorhome Touring Handbook has proved very popular among new and prospective motorhome and campervan owners. Motorhome Europe is intended for those who don’t need help choosing and using a motorhome, but are looking to extend their travels abroad.
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. We’ve written this book to help motorhome owners extend their trips abroad with confidence.
