Our campervan plan

We are a couple in our late 40s planning to take an adult gap year and go travelling around Europe and New Zealand in a campervan. Are there any publications or websites that can help? — Sue Clark, via e-mail

There isn’t a comprehensive website or publication but if you rent, your supplier should be able to answer most of your questions. Try Motorhomes Europe (01727 875519, www.motorhomeseurope.com).
