Tiffin is a brand of American motorhome buses. The Zephyr model is at the top of its offer. The 2015 version is now ready. What can we expect?. None of the Tiffin buses can be described as a "budget" model. Each of the vehicles is large and luxurious. But what is luxurious can also be graded. And at the very top of the Tiffin offer is Zephyr. From the outside, the Zephyr looks like many other vehicles of this type. It is 13 meters long , 3.66 meters high, and 2.56 meters wide. There are also retractable walls - two on each side - also typical for such buses. The vehicle is powered by an 11.9-liter Cummins 500 HP engine .

Tiffin Zephyr - the pinnacle of luxury

There are many indications that the caravanning market is developing more and more dynamically also in Poland. An example can be the CarGO! Company, which has grown from a dealer of Pilote / Bavaria motorhomes into a general importer in Poland. Currently CarGO! is in the process of building a dealer network and is looking for companies to cooperate with. We can confidently say that the camping market in Poland is getting on its feet. In the case of CarGO! the increase in sales compared to 2013 was as much as 100% - says Radosław Gogulski, co-owner of CarGO! - At the beginning of its activity, the Pilote / Bavaria brand was not very recognizable in our country, but nowadays vehicle owners are returning more and more for new models. Thanks to this, we know that the level of satisfaction with the brand is at a high level - he adds.

A good gadget can save us in many unusual situations. This time, we used the hints of our readers who interested us in truly unique inventions. Nowadays, you can live a completely civilized life on the campground. We usually have access to electricity and many amenities the same as at home. However, it may happen that by using only batteries, we will have to reduce electricity consumption. There are also those who, when looking for extreme experiences, like hiking far away from the amenities of civilization. That's when unusual products come to our aid, such as a solar kettle.

A Dutch house, an English house, or a modern modular house is an interesting alternative to more mobile solutions, such as campers and caravans. If you have a piece of land in a charming place and you like to spend your days off in this one place, perhaps this option is for you. Dutch houses are often offered by the same companies that sell camping vehicles. It is true that such a house can also be transported relatively easily, but let's be honest, it expresses a completely different approach to relaxation.

Dutch house - an alternative to a trailer?

Today, the TV set in the motorhome is no longer considered a whim. Although usually offered for an additional fee, it is offered as an additional element of equipment for almost every motorhome and caravan. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to take full advantage of it ... Mounting televisions in motorhomes is so obvious today, due to the fact that monitors are becoming flatter and therefore televisions are very thin. Not only that, because the narrow housing accommodates not only various inputs, but also entire DVD systems. To watch a movie, just insert the disc into the slot in the TV casing.

TV in the camper no problem

Each Newell camper van is different. Each subsequent one is put up for sale on the manufacturer's website. As of this writing, there are three vehicles on offer. The newest one is Newell 1545. I have written many times that luxury and splendor are very difficult to combine with good taste. Most often, I referred this reservation to American motorhome-buses, in which the selection of accessories was clearly determined by the price, on the principle: let's choose everything that is the most expensive and combine them together.

Newell 1545 - American dream, European design

What would be considered a luxury in Europe is classified as middle class in the United States. Example? For example the caravan Fox Mountain 325 RKS connected most often to powerful pickups, such as the Ford F-350. Northwood's Fox Mountain is a semi- trailer , so it can be attached to a pickup truck just like a truck trailer. In Europe such a variety of caravans is practically absent, but in the United States, Canada or Australia it is relatively popular. What we can expect from this caravan is luxurious equipment, two axles, all-terrain chassis and sliding side walls . Fox Mountain is no different. The structure reinforced with carbon fiber, large alloy wheels wearing Michelin tires and a characteristic bow forming an alcove above the load part of the pickup are also the hallmarks of this model.

Companies from all over the world presented themselves during the caravanning show in Dusseldorf. One of the few Polish representatives was the Balcamp company, which deals primarily with the construction of motorhomes based on vans. During the largest caravanning fair in Europe, Balcamp showed two of its cars , prepared on the basis of a Mercedes Sprinter. These motorhomes were a showcase of the company and at the same time a proof that Polish production does not have to differ from that of Western Europe.

Hymer DuoMobil is the embodiment of two more and more clear trends in the design of camping vehicles. Well, manufacturers are more and more willing to prepare campers for couples, but also more and more often they ask the users themselves for help in designing. Motorhomes for four, six or eight people? These will probably never disappear from the market, but they are losing their popularity today. More and more often , customers want comfort for themselves , and this is difficult when many people have to fit in one car. Hence the new trend to create camping vehicles for couples who want to travel without children. This approach forces a new way of designing space - it is no longer about squeezing as many packages and sleeping places as possible, but that practical solutions should go hand in hand with the comfort of use.

Since the largest caravanning fair is behind us, we can collect various information and think about what the year 2015 will be like. It looks like it will be an interesting season, especially when it comes to motorhomes. Good news for the industry comes mainly from Germany. There, the statistics clearly show that motorhomes are becoming more and more fashionable. Just a few years ago, it could seem that camping tourism is in retreat, and the main customers of companies producing and renting motorhomes are retirees.

Such vehicles were invented primarily for the military, and their designers probably thought that they would not have a civilian use. But wasn't it different with the Internet? Its creators also thought that such an invention would not be useful to ordinary mortals. The Mercedes-Benz Zetros is a combination of an Actros tractor unit and an off-road Unimog. Their "tourist" versions are prepared by the Hartmann company, while Huenerkopf is responsible for interior design. There are so many options to choose from that the only limitation is probably your imagination. And the laws of physics.

Mercedes Zetros - the most extreme motorhome

In the middle of Carthago's offer is the Chic C-line model. Recently, the manufacturer presented the second generation of this fully integrated motorhome model. The base is, as is usually the case, the Fiat Ducato, but who does not know it, will not know it from the outside. After 10 years, Chic C-line has seen some serious changes. From the outside, the most striking feature is the new kidney grille. The large air intake makes the camper look a bit more threatening. The large panoramic window at the front (9 cm higher than the previous generation) and the bus side mirrors encourage the driver to hit the road. The manufacturer claims that the higher glass improves visibility diagonally upwards , which is useful, for example, when we want to see if red light has already given way to green.
