I have never toured abroad with the motorhome, but I am now seriously considering doing so.
As a complete novice when it comes for foreign travel, what documents should I be carrying. Which should be the original paperwork and which can be copies.
We also intend obtaining a 'pet's passport' and our vet quoted in the region of £300, is this the average fee for this?

EHIC is your European Health Insurance Card, you get free emergency treatment to the standard locals are entitled. Many health insurers insist you carry it and claim on that first before on your health insurnace
You copy everything so you have originals, with you locked away safe a copy with you and a copy at home and I carry a copy electronically on a dongle.
You should have health and repatriation insurance for you. EHIC is only very limited and an air ambulance home is very expensive
Pet Passports are free
However you will need adigital micro chip, rabies jab, an antibody test and a six mont wait before you go. I'm sure it didn't cost that much when we chipped and injected etc.
Finally don't forget a list of numbers, bank, neighbour, family, the card protection set up, the tracker contact, in and out of the van.
You can wer your dongl;e around your neck.
I also have alll that info listed with my card protection comapny so if I am wiped out I have the basics at the end of a phone call 24/7

BognorMike thanks
Great list. Is it just the passport that you copy.

yes, the rest is kept in the safe, although now we both have photocard driving licences we probably won't need the passport to prove identity so much.
We also have a CCI card - useful to get discounts and prove identity at many sites - we leave that with the site owner instead of passports. You can get one (£4.50?) from the C&CC or CC if you are members.
