Preparing RV for trip to Europe

Well first of good luck and it will be a great trip. Unfortunately there is a lot of advice given here that is just plain inaccurate.

120/240 converters that also change the Hertz from 50 to 60 are common and can be had at fairly reasonable prices. I used them in Asia extensively. I ran expensive refrigeration and kitchen equipment on them as well as other things. I never had a problem.

I am sure your dodge will be fine. Even in Africa and Asia. But the fuel costs are tremendous.

You will be surprised at the variety and breadth of vehicles you will see. In the internet age parts are just an order away and customs clearance on things like that in many countries is pretty simple.

As for propane you may have to just buy European propane tanks. I am not sure they are going to make a US fitting. However I have ran into many many Europeans with their RV's, Vans and motorhomes here and in Mexico and they seem to get propane just fine...

I would also try to get on board an English forum (England) regarding Rv'ing and see if they can offer any advice on the propane tank issue.

Finally the tremendous interest in Expeditioning in the last few years by thousands of folks has resulted in some really good magazines being published. These hold numerous ads for all types of equipment one needs. Additionally there is a big store in London I believe that caters to this. I cant recall the name or find it right now but try this link:

They have lots of stuff.

Again good luck and press on!
