All power to you. Instead of sitting around bemoaning the fact that life is dull, boring and predictable you have chosen the moment. I respect you. May you live long and prosper.

My girlfriend and I are planning to travel all of europe(we are from canada), but we want to do this in a camper van. We plan on traveling as long as we possibly can with a bunch of savings and earning here and there when we can. The problem i seem to be having is, how do we get a camper van in europe (i’ve found a few sites where you can buy used, especially in gemany)? Once we get a camper van, how do we get it registered in the UK (seems to be necessary to register it in the UK since most of the good camper van insurance is in the UK)

This seems simple, but it is no small task. First we need to get our IVA, than register the vehicle with a UK address, then get insurance registered to that UK address…

How strict are the guidelines to getting a vehicle approved? If i buy a 1980 camper van is it likely to be approved? i don’t want to pay any fees just to have it not approved.

Also, how would i go about getting insurance for a camper van or even registering a camper van if i am not a resident? clearly tons of people have done it as there are insurance companies that advertise specifically for travellers or short stays in europe…

If you have any knowledge on how to do this. i would VERY MUCH appreciate it!

Thanks!
