Hi Olley
Hope you had a great time mate.... Sounds like a lot of miles so the costings are very interesting. One question mate, is your total cost including road tolls or just fuel?

Hi keith, yes we did have a good time, sad bit is we had to come back. Laughing

The £550 is just the fuel, tolls were about £200. I have very roughly divided the euro by 3 and multiplied by two to get GBP.

Car hire from Europcar at perpignan was £438 for 9 days and the site was about £400 for 14 nights.

Car hire is a bit of a con, you get quoted one price over the phone, get the bus into Perpignan, (about 10 miles 1.20 Euro's) walk to the station and find that the excess is 750E's so you pay another 5E's per day to bring it down to 150E's next you find there is no windscreen cover, so thats more money. Evil or Very Mad

Carrefour was selling a reasonable fizzy wine 11% proof for 50cents a bottle, so not everthing is dear. Laughing

we came back with just under 100 bottles of various wines. Cool

Hi Olley
Only 100 bottles??? I guess you will need to go again in February then mate Laughing

Of course an RV makes sense Gerald, the carrying capacity is just one plus point Wink

Hi Gerald, can their be a better reason? Laughing

Olley,

Judging by the rotation of the pic - you have already started on the 100 bottles ??

Very interesting figures - thanks for that - sorry must be a bit thick this morning but why the car hire?

Hi keith I don't think the most ardent RVer would claim they are suitable for sightseeing around town. Devil of a job getting into those underground car parks. Laughing

We would normally tow the micra but the wife is getting alot of hot flushes, and it hasn't got aircon. so I decided to hire when we got there.
