I visit Scotland (Melrose Abbey, Wallace Monument, Culloden Battlefield, Loch Ness, Skye Island, Glenfinnan Monument (and the bridge of Harry Potter Train).

Ciao, piacere di conoscerti.
Da quello che ho capito, sei italiano, giusto?
Chiedo a tutti scusa se scrivo nella mia lingua ma è per me più semplice...
Ciao Paola, si sono italiano(C/mare Di Stabia. NA) per essere esatti, tu , dove abiti, guarda che io sono pensionante gia da 5 anni,cioe' alla buona eta' di 55 dopo 32 anni di lavoro per il governo (qui) mi sono ritirato(retired) per godermi una vita che a me piace moltissimo,cioe il camper, pero' io e mia moglie siamo camperisti dal 1974, e la prima volta che abbiamo viaggiato in camper fu' con un piccolo Fiat Amigo 850cc, la prossima volta che visiti l'Inghilterra fammelo sapere, io a settembre mi trovero' a Pompei, se sei vicina fatti una camminata?? Ciao Frank, o mandami il tuo email.
Gordon Bennett! I don't understand all of this. We had a brilliant holiday last year in Italy - mainly the Dolomites and the Lakes. Superb scenery. Superb food and "vino". Superb weather.
Provided you use sites with at least 5 amp provision, a normal mains kettle should suffice. It goes without saying, though, that if you're running your air con, fridge, microwave, water heater etc at the same time, it will trip out. You just need to be sensible and aware.
During our recent trip to France and Belgium we tripped out once (my fault!). I have a multikey which opens most site trip switch boxes and was able to leap out and correct the matter immediately. The key won't open all boxes and is similar to the one used to open the external meter box at home. I recommend you obtain one and take it with you. I've had mine for some years and it's worth its weight in gold. Unfortunately I can't remember where I bought it.
Another tip - it pays to take 2 electric hook up leads as some mainland European sites expect you to cope with long distances to the connection. You should be aware that the longer the distance the greater is the cable loss of power. It's not a huge loss but it's something to bear in mind if the site only offers 5 amp.
Gordon Bennet, yuuu no undestan ehh y u go 2 Italy 4 then ehh, y lern a bit of the lingo, yu do good( taking the mick) yes the Dolomites are very beautiful, i have been there a the end of the winter or should that be beginning of spring 3 years ago and the scenery in places took my breath away, also the lakes, although i much prefer Lago D'Iseo, much more tranquil and peaceful, and the town itself is a very very short walk away with its shops and coffee bars. I'm actually thinking of stopping there again in september on my way down to Pompei.

Hi Taking our first campervan trip to France in August, is it wise to to take 12v kettle etc due to low ampage sites in europe
Buy a kettle for the gas stove instead - 12v kettles are a total joke, great idea but totally impractical

Yes! I agree about Lago d'Iseo. Quite the most beautiful place we have been and seen on our travels. Campeggio Riva di San Pietro at Marone on the shores of the Lake is a fantastic site and highly recommended. Much better than any of the other Italian sites we have used - so very peaceful and right on the shore of this idyllic lake.
Actually, I know a little Italian (words not a body) but having just returned from Belgium my brain is still addled by trying to understand Dutch/Flemish ......... so there!!!!
I know exactly how you feel mate, 3 years in Liverpool and still having problems with local lingo????? I think i will have to learn polish it would be better and understood nationwide!!!!!!!
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
