Hi there,
I have a few questions if anyone can help it would be appreciated very much.
My husband and I are wanting to buy a van in Europe (we read Germany or Holland would be best) as we live in Australia we need to buy a van that is already converted. We plan to travel around for at least 12 months.
Is a 4x4 van 'a must". (we hope to free camp as much as possible, love beaches and national parks).
Best web sites for buy a van in Europe (new or used).
we are currently looking at Mobile.de and CS-Reisemobile.
Has anyone out there registered a van in Europe without being a EU resident?
Are many Visa's needed? obviously this must be country specific?
Can the van be driven from country to country without much extra paperwork.
Any advice, web links, general info would be appreciated.
thank you!
