US RV to EUROPE
Hello all, we have a small, 29ft Jayco Precept and we would like to bring it with us when we move to Austria for 3 years. I am very familiar with Europe and their tent-campgrounds, however I have no...

We stayed in 51 different campgrounds in Europe during the summer mostly in Germany,Austria,Northern Italy and Switzerland. We tented so I am not an expert on RV travel but my observations were:
1) Washroom facilities were deluxe with washing of cloths,dishes,showers,toilettes being used by everyone, not just the tenters.
2) Power was supplied from central distribution boxes with say 6 plugs and RV,s and tenters would bring a reel with a long electrical cord and plug in but as there were no A/C units that I saw, amp breakers would not be over 20amps.
3) Water spigots were placed around the area but were not supplied to each RV.
4) RV,s commonly had cassette toilets and there are facilities to to bring your tank on a dolly to the dumping area if you were in one spot for a long time. There were North American style dump stations at the campgrounds also for people who were moving every day.
5) Did not observe cable but some RV units had dishes.
6) Many units had solar panels on the roof.
7) As I mentioned in the last generator thread, never heard one in 2 months.
8) Grey and Black water drains were not supplied to individual campers.
9) Only saw one communal fire pit in 51 campgrounds. So fires are pretty well verboten.
