RVing in other countries provides many of the same benefits we enjoy in the US & Canada, allowing us to comfortably explore remote areas that might otherwise be less accessible. An additional bonus is getting to see what RVs in other parts of the world are like – a perfect bonus for geeks like us!
After driving a campervan 1,500 miles down the East Coast of Australia a few years ago, and exploring the English Countryside just last year, we’re taking our third international RV trip. This time we’re spending a full month in Italy, most of that time in a rented motorhome.
We rented our rig from Anywhere Campers, which was the only place we found that offered one-way rentals. That allowed us to start in one location (Venice) and finish in another (Rome), enabling us to expand the range of our trip, and not have to worry about doing a “loop” to bring the RV back to where we started.
While staying at a fantastic Agritourismo site in Tuscany, we filmed a tour of the Adria Matrix 670SL Axess that we called home for this trip. This is Part One, where Peter shows you the outside. In Part Two, John will take you inside the rig for a detailed walk-through.

I was expecting to see solar on the roof of the RV. I'm glad we have a 50 gallon black tank instead of a cassette, And I do like the operation of the awning. I'm looking forward to view the interior details. Thank you for the video. I do enjoy the humor of outtakes and bloopers.

Thank you so much for part one of your Italy trip tour of the exterior of your RV. I quickly went through your other videos on the website and didn't see part 2. Has it been done? And if so how can this lame old lady figure out where it is? Thanks again for the information on part 1 it was so enlightening even for us in the USA.

Extremely smart water system. Water is a wonderful resource that is sadly wasted in USA. Over yonder they do not want you to use 140 gallons to wash a plate. Or let the water run while shaving, brushing teeth etc.... hearing the pump run or refilling frequently will make you appreciate and save water.

We sure do use less water when we hear the pump running, since that means "dry camping" to us!
