An electric scooter in a motorhome? Yes, I consider it an ideal combination, because it is during motorhome trips that an alternative to getting around is important. The scooter will quickly take us to a bus stop, train or subway station or to a nearby store where we will do the necessary shopping. Read below my observations after several days of using a very cool "Scout". During the previous Caravan Salon fair in Dusseldorf, I had the opportunity to test the EGRET 10 electric scooter and I will tell you that I am not going to such a large fair without it.

The organization of space in a caravanning vehicle does not have to be a challenge, although it does require some commitment. First of all, it should be noted that some things must be closed so that they do not move while driving. Organizing the interior is also a bit more difficult in those vehicles used by whole families. What is worth protecting against going on tour?

Zenec is navigation designed for motorhome travel. As you know, houses on wheels differ from ordinary cars in terms of size and construction, therefore standard navigations often do not work well for larger vehicles, such as motorhomes. They cannot be driven everywhere; side roads or heavily potholed roads can be a big obstacle for this type of car. It is worth investing in good equipment that will allow you to travel freely around the world.

Probably everyone will admit that a good night's sleep is essential, and its guarantor is a comfortable bed or mattress. And the greatest luxury is a comfortable rest while traveling, which is not always possible - especially in camping conditions. Froli, a German producer and exhibitor at Caravan Salon 2018, however, found a way. Froli is the first manufacturer of bed systems in the world to introduce plastic spring elements ensuring exceptional sleep comfort in 1993. This is something unique on the market. Their individuality is a great advantage: each element can be optimally adapted to the appropriate hardness, according to the needs and requirements of the body. Importantly, these plastic parts allow the mattress to be ventilated, which extends its life, and is also crucial for allergy sufferers. They can be quickly attached to a special hook structure as well as to a traditional bed frame.

The necessary elements of the motorhome's equipment include an electrician - batteries, generators or alternative energy sources, ensuring comfort and safety of the trip. There should also be a practical charger and power adapter on board the camping vehicle. What are their tasks? About it below!. Probably every motorhome owner has found out that the battery can play a trick at the least expected moment of the trip. It is worth remembering that it can be discharged both while the engine is running and when the vehicle is stationary. Hence, the systematic charging of the battery has a key impact on the smooth operation of the vehicle, and also on its service life.

Modern motorhome chargers automatically adapt to the state of charge of the battery, have multi-stage charging technology and are equipped with a special start-stop function that ensures optimal charging of acid, gel and AGM batteries. The wide range of input voltage allows the charger to be used almost anywhere in the world. Thanks to special overload protection, these chargers do not adversely affect the battery life. Their compact and lightweight design with built-in space for cables makes them quick and hassle-free to install. Intuitive one-button operation is an additional advantage.

Caravanning is an alternative way of traveling, valued especially for its complete freedom and independence. Among enthusiasts of motorhome trips there are many enthusiasts of two wheels - bicycles and motorcycles. Are you one of them? Do you dream of taking your favorite two-wheeler with you in the season that is just beginning? Nothing easier! All you need to do is stock up on a dedicated solution that allows for easy, convenient and safe transport of a bicycle or motorcycle in a motorhome. A bicycle on vacation is the best means of communication for people who love being active. With a two-wheeler, you can follow the bike paths waiting at your destination, enjoy the beautiful views and reach where others cannot. Transporting bicycles in a motorhome is now easier than ever! The camping accessories store offers two basic types of luggage racks. The first of them - on the drawbar, guarantees a simple and quick installation of the bicycle in the front of the caravan. Special bumpers protect the bike from potential damage in transport, and the platform with a lock prevents the bike from moving. The second type are towbar mounted racks, recommended for passenger cars. Thanks to the tilting structure, they allow you to easily get into the trunk of the car without having to remove the bikes. Motorhome owners, on the other hand, will love ladder racks mounted on the vehicle wall. Depending on individual needs, motorhome racks allow you to take up to 4 bikes with you on vacation! It will be appreciated especially by all those traveling with a larger group of family or friends.

During the last trip, we had the opportunity to test a compressor refrigerator provided to us by Dometic Poland. Dometic refrigerators were known to us before, because we have been using the CFX 40 in our Opel Vivaro for 3 years. This time we checked how the maxi-refrigerator will work in a minivan. The Dometic brand itself does not need to be introduced to tourism enthusiasts on board a motorhome or with a trailer on a hook. It is also worth knowing that this Swedish company known for the production of caravanning equipment is also the world's largest manufacturer of portable refrigerators.

When using a motorhome or caravan, we may be tempted to take care of the cleanliness of our house on wheels using home methods. However, home remedies will usually not be suitable for camping conditions. Dometic offers not only a complete range of devices and accessories for motorhomes and caravans. The brand's offer is complemented by chemicals designed specifically for use in touring vehicles . Why is it better to choose specialized "chemistry" than universal? There are many reasons. First of all, the measures dedicated to motorhomes and caravans were developed with them in mind, which means that they also had to be properly tested.

Summer and vacation time is the season of trips and short weekend trips. We are happy to go not only to the mountains or the sea, but also look for interesting places in the area where we could spend a few days. If the weather encourages us to spend time in nature, we plan to spend the night in a tent, or even "in the open sky", we absolutely must equip ourselves with a good sleeping bag. The trip is supposed to be a pleasure, not end up with a cold and bad mood. Anyway, who of us likes to freeze?.

Weekend camping: check what you should take

The weather, especially on summer holidays, can be capricious. Although it is impossible to predict it, we can be properly prepared for it. Whether it is sun or rain - it is worth considering the equipment of the motorhome that will allow us to enjoy the holiday regardless of the weather conditions. What accessories are worth investing in? Especially awnings, side walls and roller blinds for motorhomes will protect us from the scorching sun and persistent rainfall. Although awnings are optional accessories for a motorhome, investing in buying them before the summer season can save us a lot of nerves during our dream trip. Each of us has experienced at least once the discomfort associated with the heat pouring down from the sky and the hours of rain, which effectively discourage leaving the motorhome. Fortunately - the solutions available in the stores with camping accessories are a real godsend during bad weather. There are two types of awnings to choose from by the owners of motorhomes - wall and roof awnings, which, as the name suggests, are mounted on the side of the vehicle or on the roof, always in places reinforced at the factory by the vehicle manufacturer. When the weather conditions are unfavorable, a well-taut material is ejected quietly and gently from a special cassette, which is an effective barrier against sun rays or raindrops. In the offer of leading manufacturers such as Dometic, Fiamma or Thule, we can find both manually operated awnings and those equipped with an electric system. When buying, it is worth paying attention to models equipped with a special rain drainage pipe.

Devices that facilitate energy management are becoming more and more important in modern caravanning. Motorhomes and caravans are equipped with many amenities, but using them requires access to electricity - be it from a battery, solar panels or an external network. Today, the power industry is a very important group of accessories for tourist vehicles. No wonder that the Dometic brand, which offers practically the full range of equipment for motorhomes and caravans, pays a lot of attention to the development of this group of products. This is due to the fact that the demand for energy on board camping vehicles is increasing, and solar panels are increasingly used. It is also important that the on-board devices cooperate with the more and more modern, but also more sensitive to disturbances, electrical systems of modern vehicles.
