Preparing for a motorhome trip to Croatia

We decided to book the campsites in advance to ensure availabilty and to avoid looking for vacancies on route.

We researched each of the sites re power supply, fresh water on pitch, grey water solutions, gas options and local shopping so we could make the most of each site.

We changed our bank to ensure that any transactions abroad didn't cost us anything extra. Lots of places took local currency only so we were able to cater for that.

Driving requirements for each of the countries we visited varied slightly. We carried spare bulbs, triangles, fluorescent jackets, driving documents, GHICs and of course our passports.

We planned to use a number of toll roads and motorways (some close to cities) so we ensured we knew how to and had the means to pay for each of the toll roads and had the right documentation (CritAir in France) for low emission zone areas.

There were a few items we took that proved useful throughout the trip. They included a battery and a mains fan, euros supply for laundry, portable clothes line to avoid costly driers, spare wheel and spare water pump for peace of mind!

Planning our activities in advance was useful and we booked where necessary. (Venice sightseeing and Plitvice National Park, Croatia, especially).

We took breaks on route and interspersed our short stays at campsites with longer stops.

Finally, here's a few more tips that made our trip easier. We decided to do no more than 200 miles per day, we planned to shop prior to our arrival at each site so we could buy goods more cheaply and have more choice. We took a load of non-perishables with us, like rice, pasta, cereals and biscuits.
