Re: Camping in Europe, where to get a used class B
We always travelled in September when the kids were back in school. I don't recall ever needing an A/C. and we travelled in The Netherlands,Belgium ,Luxembourg , France,Germany ,Austria. In the summer months 80 to 85 is considered tropical.Maybe that is why they don't have A/C in their R/V 's. We also did the British Isles in the summer in 1997. All you need there is an umbrella. Hellaciously ???? hot ? Not likely.. /504Views0likes0CommentsRe: Camping in Europe, where to get a used class B
I have rented a class b three times in Germany in 2008 ,2010 and 2013 , and always from a company called DRM or Deutsche Reismobile . Normally there is a tax ( VAT) on all purchases in Europe.When renting an RV rent for longer then 28 days and you do not have to pay the VAT.The rental rate was 95 Euros per day at the time for periods up to 28 days .We rented for 31 days and the rate dropped to 76 Euros and to 56 Euros for the four additional days. I believe that DRM also sells their used models . ( as does McRent )504Views0likes0CommentsRe: Class B sales share of market expected to increase
We have also rented motorhomes in Europe, in 2008,2010,and 2013.The first two were standards , the third one was an automatic standard.All three wee Ducatos. this year i decided to keep track of the MPG. We got 28.5 MPG ( U.S. gallon) travelling in southern Germany and Austria. ( part time in the Alps.) The photo of the campsite in paris looks like the Boie de Boulogne. Camping can be very cheap in Europe. Get yourself a copy of" Reise mobil international Bord atlas " All the cheap sites are in there. One further tip if you rent for an extended period. Rent in Germany.Europe has a VAT ( value added tax ) of 19 %. In Germany if you rent for a long period (31 days ) You do not pay the vat .We rented in September and the daily rate dropped from 96 euro to 76 euro for 28 days and 54 euros for the extra 3 days. This is for unlimited mileage.364Views0likes0Comments
