We drove the length of Spain and the only tolls were on the Costa del Sol where we were staying. It was still handy to have the Tag for when we were out and about.

We took your advice and bought two Tags, one for France and one for Spain. The best thing we have done. It was great not having to worry about having enough change or risking my life hanging out the window to get a ticket. Would recommend it to anyone doing that journey.

We are driving down to Spain, through France at the beginning of June. First time without the caravan for many years. Does anyone know of any hotels on motorways in France and Spain for a night stopovers? Marilou

We were parked on a site near another Bailey and when we returned at the end of the first day the owner told us that our alarm had gone off a short while after we had driven away. It went off for a few minutes and then stopped. It happened twice. We rang Tracker and they said it was because...

Hi Spencer and Anne Welcome to the Forum. We only joined a little while ago ourselves. Already I have found people to be very helpful and informative. Look forward to hearing of your travels. Marilou

Hi Dave G Thank you for the info. Can you let me know the names of the sites that you used as stopovers en route whether just for the night or longer. That would be very helpful.

Hi Diesel, yet another welcome from a Brit. Your lifestyle is so different from ours. Thought we were a bit adventurous but it appears we are not. Love the photos of your outfit and the view of the pitch by the water is beautiful. I look forward to following your future posts. Safe travelling!

It certainly is an age thing. We are having a lot of senior moments lately. That is why we double check everything now just to be on the safe side. Can't wait for our first outing!!
