You drive longer distances in Norway without encountering a gas station or restaurant, keep this in mind before you drive. Make sure your tank is full and bring food and drinks. Bring a few bottles of water or Camel bag and fill it up when you stop to refuel. A number of breaks have been planned along the way for refueling, eating and drinking.
You have the choice to spend the night at campsites or in hotels. Hotel prices in Norway are not particularly high and breakfast is usually included. Camping is free almost everywhere, except on private property or where camping is prohibited, indicated by prohibition signs. If you don't want to camp, there are often cabins for rent on the campsites. For a trip through Norway it is always advisable to bring a tent and other camping gear.
I rate this route with 3 *** Stars, you have lost a lot of time on the ferries. You do drive on beautiful roads, such as the Fv17 with beautiful panoramas. There are no other sights along the route, but there are a number of points where you can safely stop to take a few photos.
