There is obviously cost associated with it as well as logistical issues, but it it appears quite possible. It appears viable to drive it, including through road constructions in Germany (although it'll be a bit tight).

So I my working plan is now to spend 4 months there in 2009. While I am looking to spend 3 weeks or so in Morocco, as part of that stay, I might limit that to just taking my truck over there from Spain.
Hi goldigger;
With wich trailer size, did you travel in Europe ( and in FRANCE ) ... sure it's not really a problem to drive with an Aistream but this is one to find a good and easy to install place in a campground.
I'm just come back from holidays from the south west french coast and it was not a pleasure party to park my 27' in the campground i've reserved with description of the trailer;
24' : you can go anywhere but 31'.... very, very difficult.

Whilst most trucks in Europe are restricted to 254cm, there is a deregulation for reefers to allow for insulation which permits them to be either 258 or 260cm, I forget which. You'll find French toll booths tight, but there is usually a booth for oversized loads on the extreme right of each plaza.

Did anyone experience towing the wide Airstream (8'5.5" / 2578.1 mm) in Europe (e.g. 25'SS, 25'FB, 27'FB, 28') ? Is it legal in the EU ? The most trucks in Europe are restricted to 2550 mm, while insulated reefers are restricted to 2600 mm. Can the Airstream of 8'5.5" / 2578.1 mm wide (e.g. 25'SS, 25'FB, 27'FB, 28') be considered as insulated reefer in this respect ?
