For those who have never been before, the Mosel Valley is one of our all time favourite MH'ing destinations, and although we have been several times, we never tire of the beautiful scenery and often changeable weather. The ability to hop on and off the route due to the many Stellplatz along the way, makes holidaying so easy and relaxed. Some days we've only travelled 10 - 15 minutes, before pulling in to our next stopover. 
Yes, they might be busy around end August and most of September, and although you might struggle to get a waterside pitch, we've always managed to get "a pitch". The likes of Enkirch and Klusserath are huge Stellplatz, (large enough for RVs) and give the feeling of "safety in numbers" if you are not sure, or have never stayed on the Stellplatz before, (as Rita pleasantly discovered on her first trip to Germany).
Whilst I try my best to communicate in German (especially Ps & Qs), more often than not, English is spoken, especially by the younger generation. We have always found the Germans to be friendly and helpful, bearing in mind that there are very few opportunities to have a fight over a sun lounge.
The Mosel is definitely quieter (only one railway line) and less industrious than the Rhine, which accommodates a railway line each on side of the river.
It may be possible that we might take up @Snowbird Dave's offer to join his Ro-Ro Meet ourselves, once we are sorted re appointments/tests/meds, etc.
If you've not done this type of trip before in your MH, this would be a great opportunity to test the water, (pun intended
), knowing that you would be in similar company should you need advice or guidance. Rita and I have made so many MH'ing friends since 2005, through meets like this. 
Go on, give it a go. You won't regret it.
Cheers,
Jock & Rita.
