In France chatting to a mature Eurocamo rep, whi has lived in France for 10 yrs.I asked him why Motorhomes were so popular in France and he said that in France it was illegal to tow a caravan if you were more than 70 yrs of age????

I haven't heard or read that anywhere else but as the French have introduced many new towing laws recently it could just be the case. I shall try to investigate on 'official' websites to see what I can find.

Provided UK licence is valid to drive your vehicle then you can drive it in any other EU country so a non issue for UK licence holders.
