Posted by Linda Davidson


Caravanning is one of the most flexible and exciting ways to explore the continent, those with Thetford caravan fridges were told.


Safeguard UK, a provider of caravan insurance, said that travelling by caravan is much cheaper than traditional holidays and more comfortable that camping.


"Taking your caravan onto the continent can be one of the most fun and exciting ways to travel around Europe. However, caravanners need to be mindful of other driving laws and cultures when visiting the continent to ensure they have a safe and happy trip," said Rita Sadler, Safeguard manager.


She suggested that prior to the trip, motorists familiarise themselves with traffic laws of the countries they will be visiting, as well as getting someone to remind them to drive on the right.


Ms Sadler also advised tourists to carry change in there car, as many European roads have tolls.


In addition, Simon Elstow, head of training at IAM Drive & Survive, advised motorists to ensure their tyres have plenty of tread.
