Packing for winter in southern Europe

Advertisement

We haven't started packing for winter in Southern Europe yet, but soon it will be time. At the end of November we are leaving for a 1 year long European trip with a motorhome. Even though we haven't started packing, we've started thinking a lot about what clothes to take with us. What do you take with you for a winter in southern Europe?

Where is the journey going?

We haven't planned the trip in detail, but the idea is to do the coastal route around Europe. We will start by travelling west in France and then we will follow the coast around France, Spain, Portugal... We have talked about Morocco, but we don't know if we will go there. We have also talked about Italy and Croatia.

How hot or cold?

The question is: how cold or hot is it in these countries during December to March? What is the weather like? Is it usually rainy or windy, or is it mostly fine weather? Our idea is that even in winter it can be reasonably warm during the day, but cold in the evenings, nights and mornings.

What clothes to pack?

How much warm clothing (and how warm?) should we take with us? As experienced motorhome winter travellers, what else do you think we should consider in terms of clothing? We think we need a thick jacket and also a thick sweater and warm socks to wear inside the motorhome. Are we on the right track when planning our packing for winter in the Southern Europe? We welcome tips and suggestions!
