spospe Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 If you are a member of the Caravan Club, they have a fact booklet available produced by a member who did a tour of Iceland by motorhome some years ago (for all I know it may well have been updated since I read it).

Guest JudgeMental Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Is September a good time of year to go? I have no idea, but have been up to Swedish Lapland out of season and snow was six feet deep......Mind you it was beautiful, and we had a fully winterised van and temps were -25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is more chance of seeing the Northern Lights the later in the year you go, but didn't want to risk going any later than mid september.Apparently the Northern Lights are best seen between November and March, but probably very cold then with risk of snow on the lower lands.
