Roads in Europe - our experience

Advertisement

When it comes to roads, Poland is building like crazy, and it needs it. In places it is a patchwork that Sweden would not even approve as a road. The difference between Poland and the Czech Republic is that the Czech Republic has small roads and lower speeds, while Poland has higher speeds and much more traffic, on the same small roads. So forget about being in a hurry! Just go between 50 and 80 kilometres per hour and enjoy life.

European trip 2009

Advertisement

The trip around Europe can be summarised as enormous fun. There was never a time when we were unsafe, for any robbery or the like. It seemed almost ridiculous that we installed a safe, but this is done so that there is not even a small risk of losing our passports, for example. The only time we showed them was when we were going home on the ferry between Poland and Sweden. There are no borders left, you hardly know when you enter a new country.

Italy - Austria by motorhome

Then we leave Italy with a mixed taste in our mouths. The weather has been wonderful all the time, just what you want, but the food is not great and it's expensive. 500 SEK for each night on a campsite, and it's almost a requirement from two teenage boys that there should be a pool and other fun things. Then we also have Italians who have patience on the outside, honking and shouting at everything, fun people. We have to take our pitches and do it at the right price, when the teenagers grow up.

Mobile homes and water connections

Advertisement

What about motorhomes and water connections! Now there are real couplings with stainless steel support sleeves instead of plastic. They were not easy to get hold of, as it is a rather special dimension. Fortunately, we have the car at P-bil Stockholm, which in addition to the workshop on motorhomes, caravans and passenger cars builds cranes and hydraulics on trucks. The guy at P-bil is knowledgeable and knew where to look. Apparently, these plastic quick couplings are supposed to last, but after two water leaks in six months, you start to wonder.

Now we have major problems with water leakage in the motorhome! The camper was already leaking last autumn, but after a tightness check we thought the problem was fixed. In the spring we noticed that it was still dripping under the car.

Water leakage in the motorhome

We have had problems with the water since we got the car. I can't even remember all the trouble! The water has leaked under the car in the car park and worse - on the floor under the kitchen cabinets. Cold water has come out of the hot water tap and vice versa - or there has been no water at all. Now we have problems with water leaks again.
