Thor is our standard Poodle (Caniche Royale, Koenigspudl), who has traveled the world with us. Below is a slide show of Thor pics, most of which are from his travels over the years!
To see this slide show in album form, with pics mapped to their locations:
Welcome to Our Travel Pages!
We purchased our Winnebago Rialta in 2004, choosing the model for its compactness and for its Volkswagen mechanics. Three years later, in June of 2007, we squeezed it into a container & shipped it to Europe - to become our mobile cottage across the pond!
This is our fifth VW camper. Previously (in the 1990s), we had shipped two smaller VW/Westfalia poptop campers over to Europe, so we had some experience in this endeavour. In addition, we also had two VW/Winnebago Eurovan poptop campers for traveling in North America between 1996 & 2004.
The site is divided quite logically: use the drop-down menus above to navigate to pages of interest:
Under "Basic Info" there's a bit of history (we've done this before), a page with key information on the nuts & bolts of traveling in this fashion in Europe, a pictorial on the shipping process and instructions on using the Google maps.
Then there are a number of trip journal menus, broken down geographically & chronologically.
Next there is a drop-down menu of links to key resources (note: additional links can also be found on the "Nuts & Bolts" page)
If you are interested in doing this sort of thing, everything you need to get started can be found here & in the pages, books etc. that I link to (especially see the "Nuts & Bolts" section).
I get a lot of emails asking the same basic questions - I set up this site partly as a resource to answer those questions in one stroke. I'm happy to answer emails if your question is not answered within the site & the resources it references, but please read the site first!
