Oooops just seen the headlines in the Financial Times. Most Britons face bar from visiting EU under Covid safety rules from Jan 1st.

If you don't want opinions on this serious situation we all find ourselves in, then don't ask on here. Use official factual sites.....
The OP is new so perhaps hasn’t realised that this is MotorhomeFun rather than Motorhomefacts so hasn’t realised that we don’t like being told what sort of replies are acceptable . You soon realise that you have to take the rough with the smooth.
Now where’s my stick, not sure whether to use my poking one or my stirring one today, the one I ride on is charging in the corner?

Bloody legal types eh. There’s no wonder criminals walk our streets instead of being in Prison.

If ever you try and frame the answers or control the direction of a thread you will come unstuck. I won't delete the thread. A thread starter does not own a thread, once created everyone has the same rights upon it.
This is a friendly place packed with people with vast experience who are here to share it, you got some good answers in spite of your rather haughty opening post which proves that.
Re your questions, Given the flux we are in at the moment I don't think even the most learned fellows at Blackstone or Fountain Court could give us definitive answers today. I'm sure things will become clearer over the coming days.

Not sure if you have any home insurance or similar with legal cover attached, maybe you could use that to speak to a qualified solicitor who would know the law rather than all the barrack room lawyers on here?

There seems to be talk on the media this morning, that in the event of a 'no deal', EU borders would be closed to UK nationals from 1 January, on the grounds of our Covid levels.
No idea if accurate?

Always the same 10 or 12 folk that have to pipe in with the useless have a go posts.
Id list them but really you can spot them as the like posters on the first negative comment.
Must have red lights fitted to light up when theres a post they can drip their misery on

Just on our way back slowly from Spain, Portugal, Spain, now in Le Mans on a great site called Camping Neuville. If you want a list of open sites we used let me know. As for legalities? Your in or will be in the EU so as I understand it EHIC card is valid until you depart the EU. And you can't be barred entry because you will be IN the EU prior to 'said barring of UK Citizens from 1st January.

Thank you for this reply. It is clear that my question was poorly phrased but was intended to learn from the large amounts of experience and knowledge on here, not to wind people up.
It appears I managed both....

No worries, I think we're all a little stir-crazy at the moment. And thanks for coming back on the thread

Very diplomatic Jim, you wouldn't have a few hours to spend during this weekend would you, there is a bit of a European mess to sort out.....I think you would have a far better chance than those elected to do so are having.....No worries, I think we're all a little stir-crazy at the moment. And thanks for coming back on the thread
Hi Peter and Julie
We would be keen to have a list of sites you have used during your recent trip or that you know are open.
We intend to travel over to Spain via the tunnel on 27th or 28th Dec.
domf,
Have a safe a pleasant journey
If it is possible to drive to Spain via the tunnel in January but knowing the E111 will not be effective, plus your travel insurance may be invalid due to travelling against Government advise. What will you do for healthcover and how can this be done?
If it can we're on our way!

E111 was replaced on 1st June 2004 by an EHIC card....if you have been travelling all these years with that piece of paper (E111) you have been fortunate not to have needed emergency health assistance....so why bother now...EHIC cover ends 31st December 2020...except for some UK Nationals who reside in the EU...

If it wasn't for the fact we are moving house early January and my wife waiting for a operation I would be driving to Spain as well. Stay safe and enjoy the warmer weather.

Pay for it? My sister went on a long weekend to Spain, fortunately she had travel insurance, she was taken very seriously ill and came home in a private plane with doctor and nurse in attendance, how many of us could really afford that, or want to try to organise it themselves either.Pay for it ! We have never bothered with travel insurance, and the ONE time I tried to use my EHIC I found it had run out by 2 months..yep, I am a plonker !

Bottom line is we are all different and all risk assess differently .. Whether we agree on it is by the by
In my case a hernia let go that I had been repeatedly told was ok by my quack.. Emergency surgery etc etc
Yes, it cost a few bob but over all, I still reckon we are in front of the game cos all the years we have travelled the insurance we never paid for / never had would come to more than the hossy and ambulance cost
