Hi Matt The ETIAS website say it starts from mid 2025 - not 2023 like you said. I wondered why I had not come across that last December when we travelled to Spain.

You are quite right when we recorded the video, it was due to be launched in 2023. It has since been delayed and delayed and as I type this comment is due for launch Q2 of 2025. Let’s see if it’s delayed again

@@MotorhomeMatt Thanks Matt. Love your shows by the way.

Really useful vlog - thanks Matt. Comprehensive and very clear. Hadn’t come across the ETIAS requirement before - so very grateful for this. But on checking the website, it’s not necessary to get one till 2024, rather than mid-2023 as you state. Sounds easy enough to register for one when it is required. Thanks again.

Great vid! Can you not stop at petrol stations for the night? That's what I had done travelling in the car.

You need the Crit Air to pass through Rouen even though you do no go near the city centre. It’s difficult to pass through Grenoble without going through the Crit Air zone.

Vignettes are usually only necessary if you are going to use the motorways in the country.

Thank you for adding this. Quite true

France? So you can use a dash cam legally in France, as long as you follow the legal guidance outlaid by French authorities: Recording in Public Spaces: In France, recording video in public spaces is allowed as long as it does not infringe on individuals' privacy rights. This means you CAN use a dash cam to record the road and surroundings while driving.

A uk sticker is required now yes. The large one is required in Spain, Cyprus and Malta. ETIAS is coming Q2 2025… probably! EES is coming October 2024

What about emmissions, how do you know if a moho is ulez compliant abroad ...esp an older one.

Hi Matt, It's Sam in Staffordshire again. We're off to Europe on Tuesday via the chunnel, how strict are they on food product's, as look's like we can't actually stock up like in the UK. Can you email me a list of restricted item's, as read chocolate was not aloud, as you said it was 😢 Appreciate your help. Thanku 🙏

Follow the rules and you won’t have any problems. Apparently they sell food in Europe so there’s no need to take everything with you.

Hmmm... After 90 days, leave France and go to Monaco or Andorra !!! Really? Not sure you're even allowed to stay overnight in a camper in Monaco, even if you could stay, you'd have to be there for another 90 days as you'd be trapped. Yes, I suppose you could leave your camper in France and get a cab across the border into Monaco and stay at a Hotel de Paris, but this will set you back around £150,000 for a three month stay!! The same with Andorra having only Spain and France as neighbours: trapped by EU countries to the north and south.... 90 days In Andorra? No thanks...

Very valid points re being landlocked. I guess you could always be a stowaway on a luxury yacht? In fact I have a friend who is doing almost this. 3 months paid work in Monaco on a luxury yacht. And leaving their van in France.

You are getting a European passport? Lucky you! That or you made a mistake.
