We really do present the most beautiful routes below, but when you travel by camper for the first time, there are simply a few things you need to keep in mind. After all, a camper trip might sound daunting if you've never done it before, but it is actually surprisingly simple.

It is always a good idea to start with a smaller model, as a compact campervan is often easier to drive, especially if you are not yet used to a camper. Many travelers, for example, start with the Surfer Suite from Roadsurfer: compact, comfortable, and often even easier to drive than a regular car thanks to an automatic transmission, adaptive cruise control, and parking sensors. Do you enjoy camper life? Then, for your next trip, you can opt for a larger model, such as the Road House. This campervan is only about 40 cm longer than a small campervan but offers extra comforts such as a toilet and shower.

If you still need to get used to driving a camper, nature reserves and campsites are much more relaxed than busy cities. There you have more space, peace, and often more beautiful places to spend the night.

Before departure, you can already check how everything in the camper works in your Roadsurfer customer profile, such as water, electricity, and heating. When picking up the camper, the most important steps will be explained again so that you leave well prepared. Easy peasy. 

A camper and Portugal is bucket list material. The route of Lisbon to Porto passes by palaces in Sintra, the impressive ocean waves at Nazareth and the student city CoimbraBest of all: you only need four days for it and you tick off just about everything. You wander through old neighborhoods, drive past iconic places such as the Belem Tower and the famous University of Coimbra and finishes in the colorful Ribeira district of Porto. Along the way, there is plenty of time for long lunches, views of the Atlantic Ocean, and spontaneous stops in small villages. The route? Roadsurfer wrote that out for you. 

With the app Rroadsurfer spots Moreover, you will find unique camping spots, from vineyards to places by the lake, and you can easily plan your entire route.

Tried & tested. This amazing road trip with Roadsurfer through the Dolomites.

Italy has it all. From the magical peaks of the Dolomites in the north to the rolling vineyard landscapes, dramatic coastlines with towering cliffs, but also wide beaches and beautiful historic cities. And let's not forget the icing on the cake—the reason we flock to Italy—the delicious food and wine! We could write volumes about it, but for now we'll focus on the Dolomites. 

Drive from the Netherlands (Amsterdam or Rotterdam) for the ultimate road trip experience, or fly to Italy and pick up your campervan there. You can pick up the campervan in 7 Italian cities. We think that's quite something. Bergamo and Venice are the closest to the Dolomites, but if you also want to go to Tuscany, Florence and Bologna are a good idea.

And the highlights of this road trip? We tell you about them in this article.
