A few things changed for us Brits post-Brexit and more will be changing in 2023. In this video, you'll find everything you need for travelling to mainland Europe in a motorhome.
We walk through and explain all the new requirements, know which old ones are no longer relevant and inform you of everything you need to know before you leave home.
Travelling to another country can be daunting, especially if you’ve never done it before. Add a motorhome, caravan or campervan into the mix and essential planning becomes even more crucial.

Hi Matt The ETIAS website say it starts from mid 2025 - not 2023 like you said. I wondered why I had not come across that last December when we travelled to Spain.

@MotorhomeMatt 2 месяца назад

You are quite right when we recorded the video, it was due to be launched in 2023. It has since been delayed and delayed and as I type this comment is due for launch Q2 of 2025. Let’s see if it’s delayed again

@JackSezScallywag 2 месяца назад

@@MotorhomeMatt Thanks Matt. Love your shows by the way.

@andyday7539 10 месяцев назад

Really useful vlog - thanks Matt. Comprehensive and very clear. Hadn’t come across the ETIAS requirement before - so very grateful for this. But on checking the website, it’s not necessary to get one till 2024, rather than mid-2023 as you state. Sounds easy enough to register for one when it is required. Thanks again.

@MotorhomeMatt 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching, Andy 👍 glad you found the video useful. That’s interesting and good to know, thanks for passing on the info.

The ANGLES MORTS decals are only required in France and only necessary in 'Urban' areas

@MotorhomeMatt 2 месяца назад

Thanks for clarifying

@onlylexus 2 месяца назад

France? So you can use a dash cam legally in France, as long as you follow the legal guidance outlaid by French authorities: Recording in Public Spaces: In France, recording video in public spaces is allowed as long as it does not infringe on individuals' privacy rights. This means you CAN use a dash cam to record the road and surroundings while driving.

@MotorhomeMatt 2 месяца назад

Thanks for clarifying. The ETIAS was also delayed since making this video. We did pop a note in the description

@lafemmelaMon 9 месяцев назад

Great vid! Can you not stop at petrol stations for the night? That's what I had done travelling in the car.

@davidmatthews3093 2 месяца назад

You need the Crit Air to pass through Rouen even though you do no go near the city centre. It’s difficult to pass through Grenoble without going through the Crit Air zone.

@MotorhomeMatt 2 месяца назад

That’s really helpful thank you.

@davidmatthews3093 2 месяца назад

Vignettes are usually only necessary if you are going to use the motorways in the country.

@MotorhomeMatt 2 месяца назад

Thank you for adding this. Quite true

@rebeccadickinson47 2 месяца назад

The breathalyser law was ignored because for most of the time that it was in place the fine was set at €0.

@MotorhomeMatt 2 месяца назад

Was it!? Brilliant! Gotta love a French law!

Planning first trip to Europe March 2024, good advice and info, question , licence plates have uk stickers, we have camper van do we still need large UK sticker? Just checked ETIAS sight, looks like requirement comes into force 2025 . Thanks for video

@MotorhomeMatt 3 месяца назад

A uk sticker is required now yes. The large one is required in Spain, Cyprus and Malta. ETIAS is coming Q2 2025… probably! EES is coming October 2024

@Jaques2go Год назад

What about emmissions, how do you know if a moho is ulez compliant abroad ...esp an older one.

@MotorhomeMatt Год назад

You can find this out on the Crit'Air website. Full detail on this episode ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-z8rZPvvhNyE.html

Hi matt you mentioned the exemption if travelling with a spouse who has an Irish passport can you tell me where to get this information as I already asked and was told I was not exempt?

@davidmatthews3093 2 месяца назад

From the Schengen web site.

@tradecarsdirectltd2344 9 месяцев назад

Hi Matt, It's Sam in Staffordshire again. We're off to Europe on Tuesday via the chunnel, how strict are they on food product's, as look's like we can't actually stock up like in the UK. Can you email me a list of restricted item's, as read chocolate was not aloud, as you said it was 😢 Appreciate your help. Thanku 🙏

@MotorhomeMatt 9 месяцев назад

You can find out the restricted list on the .gov website but I’m yet to hear if anyone being searched! As for chocolate… in my experience that’s safe!

@davidmatthews3093 2 месяца назад

Follow the rules and you won’t have any problems. Apparently they sell food in Europe so there’s no need to take everything with you.

@davidmatthews3093 2 месяца назад

Do not use a red warning triangle on French motorways.

@MotorhomeMatt 2 месяца назад

Why not? I’m intrigued

@dicktator3196 Год назад

Immigration... customs is a tad different. Great info Matt.

@AdrianSnell 5 дней назад

Hmmm... After 90 days, leave France and go to Monaco or Andorra !!! Really? Not sure you're even allowed to stay overnight in a camper in Monaco, even if you could stay, you'd have to be there for another 90 days as you'd be trapped. Yes, I suppose you could leave your camper in France and get a cab across the border into Monaco and stay at a Hotel de Paris, but this will set you back around £150,000 for a three month stay!! The same with Andorra having only Spain and France as neighbours: trapped by EU countries to the north and south.... 90 days In Andorra? No thanks...

@MotorhomeMatt 4 дня назад

Very valid points re being landlocked. I guess you could always be a stowaway on a luxury yacht? In fact I have a friend who is doing almost this. 3 months paid work in Monaco on a luxury yacht. And leaving their van in France.

You really ought to check your facts matey! You are wrong on a few things.

You are getting a European passport? Lucky you! That or you made a mistake.

I believe the new UK passports are made in France? Am I wrong? It has been known!
