Been thinking about traveling through Europe for a Month or so before going to Oz in the summer. Ive been out working on the Golf today and thinking it would be so much fun in that

Thinking about going through France, then spain down to Marbella in the costa del sol. Anyone every done something like this and what were your experiences

Would be okay if you take your time, would be cheaper than a conventional holiday as accomodation costs would be nothing as you can camp.
Can split petrol also so that wouldnt cost too much

Make sure if you do it to tell ur insurance company, crash over there and you won't get paid out.
