OUR BEGINNER'S GUIDE - Travel to FRANCE by EUROTUNNEL in a Motorhome | 2022

Welcome back to the channel!

We have spent several weeks putting together this step by step guide, covering everything we did to prepare for our trip to France in our Motorhome this summer.

If you are a first timer - then this might just help you plan your journey to France via the Eurotunnel.

We are not experts, but many people have asked us about various aspects of our European travels, so we hope this may be of help to some.

All the links below we used to help plan and prepare in the months and weeks before we set off.

Things are always changing when it comes to travel as we all know from the last 3 years.

My motto is if you fail to prepare, your prepare to fail! But I can be a bit over the top!

This vlog is our personal experience only and we are NOT, I repeat NOT claiming to have the best advice or fail safe solutions. We welcome comments and feedback and will try and signpost you in the right direction to answer your question.
