I pretty much just used Internet resources to see what the options and prices would be. It has been a number of years now, but I assume the situation is still much the same. We ended up using a company called McRent with a rental location in Hamburg, Germany. They were cheaper than renting in Scandinavia and Hamburg isn't far from the border with Denmark. These are all EU countries, so border crossings were easy. For that part of our trip we flew into Hamburg from Oslo (we had done a Fjords and Arctic cruise with Lindblad/NatGeo), and returned the RV back in Hamburg and flew from there back to the States. Even 11 years ago we found diesel expensive, especially in Norway. We found much of the RV campground experience different than in the USA. Often there would be several power locations distributed through the campground and rigs around one would all run long power cords to the closest one.My wife posted a couple of posts about our rental rig (on a now inactive blog):Viking Vagabonds: A Tour of Our "Wee Little Motorhome" or "Button Down the...Viking Vagabonds: "Button Down the Hatches!"

Most European campers have "cassette toilets", which have a small removable tank underneath the toilet. You need to frequently pull out this tank (which seals closed when removed and has a carrying handle) and take it to a proper sewage drain. The campgrounds usually have such drains, and a bathroom toilet could work in a pinch. Grey water was usually drained separately, often a concrete pad sloping to a drainage grate. Sewage was not to be drained into these.Art 1 Likes

Re: European cousins Reply #14 – April 27, 2022, 01:02:21 pm It appears Europeans enjoy RVing! I guess that explains why they are frequently seen while camping, especially at our national parks.
