Tesla Motors Club

This past summer I toured all 50 United States in my Model S with my dog in the back seat. It was a marvelous experience ( https://www.teslamotors.com/customer-stories/tale-two-teslas ). About half the time we camped and the other half the time stayed in hotels. I am considering doing a similar trip in Europe but need to get a better feel for what is possible. The plan would be to buy a used Tesla in Europe and sell it when the trip is complete.

* Is camping a reasonable activity while touring Europe in a Tesla?
* Are American-type RV Parks readily-available as a place to camp and to recharge overnight?
* How common are hotels that allow dogs?
* What safety precautions are needed on such a trip?

I would plan to drive as far north as the northernmost supercharger in Norway, south into Spain and Portugal (I know, there's no superchargers yet), throughout the Netherlands, France, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and Austria.

It'd be fun to visit the UK, too, but I would need to be careful about issues related to rabies. Hawaii is rabies free, but a flight from Honolulu to London with one change of planes could be very difficult for a dog.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
