Simon:
And the scenery and and and …
And proper parking for trucks, fantastic truckstops, a clean shower everywhere you go, empty roads, the respect of the general public…
But apart from that it’s just like driving in the UK

HI LUG,
Hope its the 1st of many a good trip abroad, im sure you would have been
missing the Brittish service areas tho!!!
i am tryin to make a good dairy of my trip not sure where to styart with it having a few probs with my new camera down loading to my laptop will get my sis to have alook at then i will post the photos of my first trip out to euro land 
make sure you take pics of all the trips you do lug, then in years to come you can read posts on here and think “ahh, I remember that” I only wish I took more pics of my trips on the continent, still, the memories are clear enough!
Enjoy the experience now coz you never know what you’ll be doing in the future. Best of luck with it,
brookie.

I wouldnt use any of the french tunnels to long and to expensive transitting france. id go belgium, luxembourg where id get my t-form for swiss and my cheap diesel then straight on down to basel via metz and strasbourg clear customs that night so as not to get held up in morning and park up in swiss ready to get away early in morning

i was up that way on tuesday ! there is a truck of alberti and santi based up there the trucks still have the old road track name on them i’m based down the south most of the time 
good luck man, italy is an awesome country with some nice people,dont be scared, just go with the flow and enjoy it…
beware though, they do seem to wire in the horn with the throttle peddle,lol…oh and be prepered for 5 lanes of traffic stuffed into 3 lanes,lol…
again take care and have fun,you’ll want to go back
was always like that yes but they have changed the system a bit there now but not much ive only used it once last year with a fridge so cant remember 100% but i think you just park up and when the convoy vans open the barrier you then drive up to the booth and pay then and carry on into the tunnel.

There’s a width limit of 2.50m on the Mont Blanc Tunnel, if I remember correctly.
Most (if not all) fridge trailers are 2.55m wide, which makes them over width.
There’s more leeway at the Tunnel Frejus, so there’s no extra charges to use it (like ■■■■■■ and over width charges) and no waiting for an ■■■■■■ either.
come on lug, where are the pictures? were waiting!
