its hard to have privacy in such a box travelling thru europe and in most cases you end on a trucker spot or parking space near the motorway. as you can see the chap has to close all his windows to enjoy a beer inside. during season europe is packed with those campers and it will be hard to find individual place on your own, often you get chasen away if your not using the official camper spots. so finding a nice spot for a night might be okay, but do not expect there to stay two nights or more without getting chasen away

maybe in scandinavia or nothern countries its worth it, but in france, spain, croatia
italy , all the nice spots where its warm and dense, it is a cumersome experience during season


during full season, all you can do is to go to trailer parks , camping spaces (often overbooked, packed, cramped ) stay there and rent a place where u are stuck with 100, 1000 of other guys enjoying that trailer park feeling. that means people doing bbq at 3 o clock n the night , loud children, the smell of plastic toilets etc..sorry im totally anti social i did it once and never will do it again (using a camper)
