I will add to our German member comments, that lot of roads in Europe do have 2.5m wide traffic lanes.
8ft =2.4m, meaning your side mirrors will stick out to next traffic lanes on both sides.
TIRs (semis) on such roads cross the center lane, so this is not experience for just anybody. (notice European semis often have SRW)
Than in Germany slow lanes on autobahn travel above 100 mph and anything slower is road hazard.
Being Polish-born I was thinking about driving RV in Europe, but for 5 weeks vacations, renting diesel wagon in Paris and hotels turn out much easier. Fact is that in Poland we did not have to pay for hotels.
Another tough if you really want to spend long time in Europe - buy one of those Sprinter motorhomes there and at the end ship it to US.
You can get rich doing just that.
Also beware that you can have very good time in former Eastern Block for about 1/4 cost what it cost in Western Europe
Eastern block is in my plan for sure! There are a few exclusions from an insurance perspective, but most are included. Russia is excluded, for example, by all the insurance carriers I've researched so far. Thanks
