Hi! Yes we did. My August post in this thread summed up how much we enjoyed Albania, despite the slight anxieties of driving with only third party insurance. Since then the Caravan and Motorhome Club's insurers have joined the others and also dropped the availability of Albanian third party cover, so unless you can find an alternative you'll have to buy it at the border (probably easy enough to do - we found the people at the border helpful and welcoming - but claiming on a non-UK policy might be interesting). We would have stayed there longer if we had had comprehensive cover. However we found that driving in Albania was fairly stress-free. We saw no manic drivers and didn't feel at risk. The speed limits seem to be very strictly controlled. The only near-miss we had was on a good road in Montenegro, where a speeding car tried to overtake us as we were turning left.
Here's a link to the review I put on TripAdvisor about Komani Lake:

That was the highlight of our time in Albania but there was a lot we didn't see. We'd love to go back and spend more time there.
The rest of the journey was delightful too. We were away from mid-April till mid-June, travelling quickly down through France until we found some sunshine, dawdling in Provence for a few days then heading into Italy. We visited the wine area around Barolo, the Cinque Terre and lots of the mediaeval villages in Tuscany and Umbria, staying in local campsites (ACSI card and app invaluable) and aires (helpful to have a loo). Mostly we stayed on each site only one or two days. Throughout the trip we never booked a pitch and never had a problem finding a place to stay, although you need to plan your route, as campsites are less frequent in Italy than elsewhere. We ate out a lot (for us that's part of the pleasure of travelling) and cooked on our Cobb at other times. It was helpful to have our Brompton bikes with us, folded on the internal rear luggage shelf. We didn't plan much of the route in advance. In a few places, in order to explore the towns / villages in the evenings, we stayed in small hotels with parking (if there was no local campsite or aire), but we slept in our lovely Cali most nights. The Terme di Saturnia were a pleasant diversion one morning. In Rome, we left the van on an out-of-town ACSI campsite for a couple of days while we visited friends in the city (safer and cheaper than parking in town). Then Herculaneum and Pompeii and on to Calabria for more sunshine. Unlike the UK that year, northern and middle Italy was afflicted by cooler and wetter weather than usual in early 2018. We really liked Matera and Lecce, the villages in Apulia and the old part of Bari.
I had booked the overnight ferry from Bari to Igoumenitsa as soon as the tickets became available that year, as I understood that the boats are often fully booked. It's easiest to book through an agency. We used Greek Ferries Club. Our ticket allowed us to put the roof up and "camp" overnight on the lorry deck (we always sleep "upstairs"). The ferries from there to Corfu are much more frequent and we bought a ticket just before departure. Corfu was as warm and sunny and laid-back as usual. From there we headed north through Albania, spent a few hot days beside the sea in Istria, then quickly through the ongoing cold and rain in northern Italy back into Provence and cross-country north back to Calais with an overnight stop or two at France Passion vineyard sites.
Let me know if there's anything more specific you'd like to know. I'd be glad to help. Meanwhile we are looking forward to this year's late spring / early summer trip to Hungary, probably Romania, and the countries between here and there. There's a lot to be said for retirement!
