This is for anyone interested in RVing in Europe.
We went on a 30 day RV Trip with European Motorhome Tours. Dieter and Gaby Weigelt own the company and run the tours. If you have never RVed in Europe, it would be a good way to try it first to see if you like it.
I have just put up all my pictures from the trip. I used Picassa Web Albums. When you click on the website, you will go to the first album. To see other albums click on Connie B's Gallery or Connie Bradish's Gallery. This will give you all the photo albums on that site. I arranged the pictures on the site by days in the tour and 2 specialty albums (our coach and Dieter and Gaby, wagonmasters).
We had an upgrade, a 24 foot RV. Most others had the standard RV which was a 21 foot Class C.

We can tell you this, RVs in Europe are small and just as stupidly designed as those in the US. Most Europeans are camping and not RVing. So it's a totally different style of using an RV. They use the shower block to not only shower but the building also has kitchen facilities (sinks, burners, microwaves), sometimes a lounge with a large TV, laundry, cubicles with toilet, mirror, hair dryer, etc. Basically they use the RV to sleep in and use the shower block for everything else.
Mixed in the with the scenery photos are pictures of campgrounds, electric hookups, gray water dump sites, toilet chem dump areas, etc. It really is more like camping there although we NEVER saw a campfire or even a firepit.
But just to let you know I literally KISSED our Beaver when we got home. While we loved the trip, after an American RV European RVs are definitely tiny and inconvenient. However, we made do. And we are even doing it again. This time we are going to New Zealand and Australia and their RVs are pretty much like European RVs. At least this time we have an idea of what to expect and it won't be such a shock.
So enjoy your luxurious Beaver Motorcoach. They are the very best!!!!! Connie B.
