2012 GP Touring Holiday

[Stew']

Folks,

First post for me /wave

My good lady and I are planning a holiday in Europe next year. The rough outline at the moment is hire a camper in France, drive to Spa, see the Belgian GP, drive to Italy the following weekend, take in Monza and drop the camper back where we picked it up.

Does anyone have experience of doing similar? I've had a few quotes on camper hire and finding it more expensive than I'd thought it would have been (£1600).

Cheers,

Stew

Camper van hire is seriously expensive, you'd probably be better off buying one for the trip and selling it afterwards! Though that's a lot of hassle and could be a minefield!

A couple of months ago the missus and I drove to Spa and then carried on down to Imola to see the Le Mans Series. The trip was 10 days long and cost about £2000 and this was in a Mondeo.

It would be cheaper to take a car, stop in nice hotels on the way and camp in a tent at circuits I expect, will also be faster/more fun/more economical (delete as appropriate depending on car taken) as well.
