I would also be interested to hear comments on this. We are new to m/h having been caravanners for last 4 years. Off to Austria on Saturday and then down to Lake Bled. Having a panic at moment a) re best route to take - is the fern pass ok for m/h and b) the complications with go box. It now seems there is also the added issue of emissions to consider as well.
All I can say about this route is the Fern Pass should not be a problem, I followed your route many years ago in a Caravan at least as far as Innsbruck without any trouble. There were no toll charges to Innsbruck at that time but I do remember the Brenner Pass as being expensive.
If you can get a refund on your Go-box then it sounds like a cheap idea.

Just been looking at the Go-Box web site and see the minimum charge is now 80 euros. It now looks even more complex than 5 years ago with different tariffs for different motorway sections and it is also dependent on engine emissions. I think your best bet is to buy a Michelin map of Austria and look at the different routes yourself and work out which is best for you.

Does anyone know how they decide your engine emissions? My registration certificate does not show this so what do they do? When I got the DVLA to re-class my vehicle which they eventually did, I asked them to include the euro emission standard on it but they did not even though I supplied engine build details. I assume others are in the same boat?

The old road down the Brennar Pass is still in everyday use and would save you a fortune.
