Picking up our wheels tomorrow - v exciting

So hello to you and to the rest of the VW Cali crew ... Any guidebooks or insurance company top tips out there? We're getting breakdown cover capped at 90 days with the camping an caravanning club, weirdly...

Also welcome on your first post... :thumb

We been three weeks in Norway last year and loved it , but the rest of europe is nice also .
Personal i would not go that long on a trip , but for us living in central Europe we can leave either direction shorter trips....

Caravan Club Insurance covers upto 270 days European Cover, likewise with their Mayday Travel Insurance so I understand.
ACSI Card! Books or App very useful for sites of a certain quality, also give Campsite Insurance free in case you damage anything and acts as ID card so that you don't have to use Passports to register. Also off-season discount card.
