We are looking to spend around 80 days travelling to Rome and back, starting early May and finishing late July 2024. Our outfit is discovery 5 with Sterling Elite 560 van. Any places to avoid with a caravan?

We prefer fully serviced pitches where possible, but can be water carriers when needed. What are the must see places on route to visit, we would normally spend a minimum of 5 nights per site.

Which are the most cost effective routes to take?

Thanks for the advice Dave looks like we will be lugging water for most of the trip, not too bad in the warm weather though.

Looks like we are going as far south a Salerno to visit Pompeii and Vesuvius and the Amalfi coast

Was think of coming back via the east coast bur does not appear to be much there.

I agree. We drove down the Italian west coast to Paestum (also not a site with fully serviced pitches), not far from Salerno, and returned via the Adriatic. The return journey was a bit of an anti-climax except for stops in San Marino and later in Venice.

A couple of cities worth visiting on your way down through Italy which haven't been mentioned yet are Lucca and Pisa.
