Good sleep is fundamental to our well-being. When we spend the night away from home, rest largely depends on the sleeping bag we choose. How to choose a sleeping bag that will meet our expectations and will serve us for years?. First of all - the sleeping bag should be selected in terms of the activity we are doing . You need different sleeping bags for camping with the family, another one for a mountaineering trip. If you usually sleep indoors and you are not threatened with temperatures lower than 15-20 degrees Celsius or high air humidity, lightweight materials that easily reduce their volume will work better. The sleeping bag does not take up the entire backpack then. An example is the Core line of the Polish manufacturer of expedition clothing and equipment - Pajak Sport.

Camper-vans and vans are great solutions for weekend and vacation travelers. However, when the family grows or we want to stay longer, the problem of space arises. Its solution is sleeping roofs. The idea of using a car roof as a place to sleep goes back to the beginnings of caravanning. The first photos of motorhomes with a folding roof or a tent sliding over the vehicle structure come from the 1930s. Placing the bed at the top means more space in the lower living area of the vehicle, which is a particularly advantageous solution for vans. At a standstill, after unfolding the roof and raising the mattress, we gain a comfortable space in the vehicle. In such a car, an adult can stay in a standing position. In turn, after lowering the bed to the folded roof line, we get an additional sleeping place for two adults .

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.

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!.

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?

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.

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.
