Taking your caravan abroad can be a highly affordable way of exploring Europe, but a national newspaper has warned that motorists should be aware of the different road rules.
The Daily Telegraph points out that countries such as France and Austria have very strict rules, including packing a fluorescent jacket, which you must wear if you break down.
Furthermore, in Belgium it is mandatory to carry a fire extinguisher on board at all times, while caravan owners visiting Germany should make sure to pack a warning triangle and a first aid kit.
Speed limits vary across EU countries, but provided you stay below 74 miles per hour, you can be sure to avoid any unwanted attention from the local traffic police.
Documentation is also important, so make sure to pack both parts of your driving license, the car’s original registration and all relevant insurance documents, the news provider added.
