Best Time for a Campervan Trip

Season	Average high temperature	Good time?
Spring (Mar–May)	10–18°C │ 50–64°F	Yes — mild weather, fewer crowds
Summer (Jun–Aug)	20–28°C │ 68–82°F	Yes, but roads and campsites are busy
Autumn (Sep–Nov)	8–18°C │ 46–64°F	Yes — harvest festivals
Winter (Dec–Feb)	–1–7°C │ 30–45°F	Only for alpine sports or city trips

Driving Tips

On most motorways the speed limit is 120–130 km/h │ 75–80 mph. On rural roads it is 90 km/h │ 55 mph unless signs show different limits.
Buy a vignette before entering toll-sticker countries such as Austria, Switzerland and Slovenia. Cameras check your windscreen.
France, Germany, Italy and other countries have Low Emission Zones (LEZ). Order the required sticker or day pass online to avoid fines.
Many city centers have streets narrower than 2.3 meters │ 7 ft 6 in. Use park-and-ride lots and public transport instead.
Expect many roundabouts. Vehicles already inside the roundabout have priority.
Carry two warning triangles, reflective vests for all occupants and a first-aid kit. Police may check these items during roadside stops.
The emergency number across the EU is 112. It works from any mobile phone.

Local Tips

Winter tires are mandatory in Alpine regions from 15 Nov–15 Apr. Carry snow chains when crossing mountain passes above 1000 meters.
Night-time street camping is banned in parts of Portugal, Croatia and Spain between 22:00 and 06:00. Sleep in official sites to avoid fines.
Many bridges and tunnels use electronic toll tags (e.g. Telepass, Liber-t). Visitors can pay at mixed cash/card lanes but keep right to avoid the tag-only gate.
Bring a CEE blue 16A adapter. This is the standard plug for campsite power around Europe.
Fuel names vary: unleaded petrol is "E5" or "95", diesel is "B7". Check the pump label before filling to avoid misfueling fees.
Dial 112 for police, medical or fire anywhere in the EU. Operators answer in multiple languages.
