In Norway we only have old camper vans!

[Pete S]

Cars are very heavily taxed in Norway and the Marco Polo unfortunately counts as a car - rather than as a significantly lower tax-rated motor home - with the result that many people choose to buy a bigger but cheaper vehicle. We took the "smaller is better" approach and have just acquired a 15 year old Viano. I found the MP owners club while searching for a safety net for the bed, so I joined up. Here's a picture of the van in Romsdal, on its way home to be stored in anticipation of spring and summer trips when the skiing season is finished!

Hello and welcome.Yes a smaller campervan allows you to get to places that would be difficult for something larger. Enjoy the ski season ⛷
