We went from Dunkirk, along the (free) motorway that runs along the Belgian / French /Luxembourg borders to Strasbourg and then to Augsberg, Salzburg and the E55 across Austria, into Slovenia via the Karawanken tunnels. We then spent time in Slovenia but you could go straight across and into Croatia.
We went quite slowly but the roads are fast enough that you would make good time if in a hurry. Apart from the Austrian vignette - bought at a service station just before we went into Austria from Germany,we paid no tolls.
The most direct route would be similar to Grizzly's IF YOU ARE UNDER 3.5t; if over, you will need a go-box in Austria at great expense. We went down to Basel and through Switzerland and then across norther Italy, round Venice and then into Sovenia at Trieste, and on to the Istrian penisula of Croatia.

Just to continue Grizzly's route. From the Karavanke Tunnel go along the motorway to Ljubljana, then Zagreb (Croatia) and then Split and take the Zadar exit. It's motorway all the way. In Slovenia you'll have to buy the vignette, I can't remember the toll for Croatia but I would definitely recommend the motorway as the road along the coast is not very good.
If you come from Italy (go-Box in Austria is expensive), go towards Rijeka (in Croatia) and then further towards Split. Again, it's motorway all the way.

Hi, I like your suggested route Grizzly we will probaly return home in June that way but can you or anyone else give me some advice about travelling to Croatia in early March next year.
We would like to see some of Austria, I will need to check prices for vignette etc for a 4 ton MH.
Last year we went to Bavaria in March and had lots of snow. We're not keen on driving in snow if possible.
The previous year we went to Slovenia via France and Italy. We went from Annecy to Italy through the Frejus tunnel and got stung for €43 so we will avoid tunnels unless they are inexpensive.
We will probably use the Hull to Rotterdam ferry but don't know if we should go through Germany or down through France then across northern Italy.
We want to go to Croatia next year so looking at these relies with great interest.
Incidentally, we're looking to change our insurance from Comfort and NFU were looking good until we discovered they don't cover you in Croatia.
Can't add much to the above. We went into Croatia from Italy this summer, came home via Italy into France, motorway all the way. Vignette required to cross Slovinia , about 15 Euro. Croatia very nice stick to main roads as long as poss, back routes quite poor.
On insurance , can't remember who we're with, but we weren't covered. Phoned them from Italy and they e.mailed/faxed us a green card. So check with companies as they may be able to extend cover to include Croatia.
