We haven't even left yet but we are already picking up some good advice from people and our own experiences. Here are a few...
Talk to people who have done it before. Their advice is worth its weight.
Do as much of the work on your car as you can yourself. It will save you money but requires a lot of time. It will also help you get to know your car.
Buy your vehicle at least 6 months before you travel and drive it regularly.
Buy half of what you think you need and take twice as much money. A very difficult thing to do.
Paperwork, paperwork and paperwork. Be prepared for it. Carnet, insurance, MOT, V5, shipping docs, visas, vaccinations, international drivers license... These things take ages to organise and are generally a hassle.
If it needs fixing do it before you go. You will be too busy fixing the things you didn't know needed fixing while you are travelling to fix the things you knew needed fixing in the first place. Thats a mouthful.
