My wife and I are planning on joining our friends on a holiday in Spain next year and it will be our first time driving abroad. Could somebody please advise if the toll charges for a motorhome are the same or greater than for a car. I have been trying to calculate the cost but the websites I have found all assume travelling by car. I cannot use our friends toll fees for a basis as they are towing a boat

Don't forget to leave a review of the French and other European campsites you have visited!
i dont know if this helps . we have a car and caravan . this year we went to royan half way down the west coast of france. i put £300 for the fuel toll and any over night stops. both ways i was hoping to have some money left over. we stopped on route in a municipal £6 a night and there was nothing left out of my £300 so that was £150 each way. i thought this was a lot. but the roads were brilliant no traffic and motorway all the way from calais.
I don't know, but Mappy allows you to select vehicles from a menu in the options. If motorhome isn't an option try goods vehicle of same size (though I think the price break is at 7.5t regardless of type); that'll give you worst case scenario. Event the official autoroutes.fr website just uses the mappy tool as its stooge.
One thing I learned recently is that you can be fined if seen by the police for moving off from a toll booth before the passenger has re-fitted their seatbelt. £68.
Thanks for the info everybody. I did look at the Mapy website last night but didn't notice an option for choosing the vehicle to be driven. then again I am not the most clued up technical person by a long way. Will have another look
When we moved to our campsite in France 2 years ago, we brought our motorhome with us, which is now back in the UK & for sale - see our homepage/website for details.
We where charged as a class 2 rate ie: a lorry.
I hope this helps.
