Tabbert celebrates his 60th birthday this year. This is a good excuse to launch a new model on the market. The name of the new trailer is PEAT and stands for "Alfred Tabbert's Private Edition". In this way, the brand decided to honor the memory of its founder. Since this trailer is named after the first vehicle designer of the Tabbert brand, we should not be surprised that the appearance of PEAT is more classic than that of other models. The fact that we are dealing with this particular brand is proven by details that are difficult to miss - for example, the characteristic rear lights with a coat of arms placed between them, which also serves as a logo. On the other side of the trailer there is a spacious storage compartment for two gas cylinders.

If you like to spend your time actively, you could find a lot of automotive inspiration during the Motor Show 2014. Campers and caravans are just a part of the offer for those for whom long trips are the meaning of life or its very important element. Not only the Caravanning Salon was full of attractions. We also visited other stands available as part of the Motor Show 2014 to find vehicles that can be useful during active recreation. Volkswagen unveiled the T5 California Beach model once again. Probably because this car always arouses great interest of visitors. The model shown this year not only had a fold-up fabric roof under which you can arrange an overnight stay, but also a four-bike carrier mounted on the tailgate. The model on display is equipped with a 2.0-liter BiTDI engine producing 180 hp, mated to a 7-speed gearbox.

In the international Red Dot competition, promoting good design in applied art, the Arto motorhome by Niesmann + Bischoff was awarded. It is all the more significant as motorhomes are rarely appreciated in this type of competition. A large, panoramic window at the front, a slightly pugnacious grill, exposed to the front, with which the headlights blend in perfectly, as if slightly hovering at the corners of the front wall and side walls - the front of the Arto motorhome could in particular attract the attention of the Red Dot Award jurors, who had quite a task.

ARTO - the world&#39;s best looking motorhome

Increasingly, when we want to buy a motorhome, we do not have to decide to buy a vehicle imported from abroad. Elcamp offers campers Neo Traveler, the company Doch - Novano, Romer Niewiadów also has its own motorhome. Romer advertises its motorhome as "world quality at a reasonable price". Reasonable prices start in this case from 210 thousand. PLN , as well as with the other mentioned producers. So what distinguishes a motorhome prepared by a young company from Niewiadów, founded by former employees of the oldest Polish caravan factory? In the case of Romer, we are not dealing with a van that has been adapted to the residential function. We are talking about a semi-integrated vehicle, which means that where the driver's cabin ends, a completely separate body begins. And this is where we come to world quality.

Polish Romer - quality at a fair price

Can a large van, resembling a delivery truck, cause a sensation? It turns out that it is. On condition, however, that it will be equipped as a high-class passenger car and packed with electronics. This is exactly the case with the new Mercedes V-Class. In Poland, Mercedes V was presented for the first time in Poznań during the Motor Show and it was the hottest premiere at the brand's stand with a star in the logo. Although the shape of the car is quite common, you may like the details, such as modern-looking, diagonal headlights with the now "obligatory" LEDs. Body contours give the impression of slenderness and give the illusion that the car is in motion all the time. If, however, the exterior was to be the greatest asset of this vehicle, we would have to write about the defeat. The V-Class is certainly not the most beautiful or the most stylistically designer car among the vehicles produced today.

Mercedes V-class - almost a motorhome

A 5.30 meter long camper with full equipment? Wingamm Micros is just such a vehicle - small, well-equipped, and based on the Volkswagen T5. Volkswagen T5 is rarely used as a base for camping cars. It may be even more surprising that while most European companies choose Fiat Ducato, a company from Italy chose Volkswagen!. And Italians are, you know, aesthetes. Therefore, before we start assessing the functionality of the Micros, we must admit that the car looks quite attractive. The GFRP body was neatly matched to the rest of the vehicle.

Why do so many people choose caravanning? Why do campsites, campers and caravans constantly mesmerize tourists young and old? If you are still thinking about it, get to know the advantages of caravanning - maybe you too will finally go on the journey of your life. First, a small note. Anyone who chooses caravanning may be guided by something else. Not all advantages will be equally important for everyone who loves spending time on the road or camping. Exactly - here we encounter the first distinction. For some, the most important thing is traveling, moving from city to city, while others would like to quickly reach their destination, spend time in nature, or among friendly people. However, it is possible to distinguish a few basic advantages, which the "caravanners" mention most often.

Caravanning - what are its advantages?

Swift is the UK's largest and one of the world's largest manufacturers of caravans, motorhomes, and recently also recreational cottages. Although the history of the brand began 50 years ago, the son of the founder remains the president of the company to this day. The company's history began in 1964 in the city of Hull in the eastern part of Great Britain, on the banks of the Humber River. It was there that Ken Smith and Ken Day jointly built a caravan, which became the nucleus of the company. They named the trailer The Ten - ten. They managed to sell it for £ 289.

Swift - for 50 years consistently ahead

On the one hand, this year's Caravanning Salon in Poznań is a success - a large number of exhibitors, a large number of vehicles on display, many new companies (not only at the fair, but also on the Polish market). At the same time, it's hard to resist the impression that this event needs a newer, fresher formula. Let's start with the pluses, because there are many of them. When visiting the exhibitors' stands, talking to owners and employees of companies related to caravanning, it was hard for me to resist the impression that a lot has changed for the better during the year. Some still complain that the market in Poland is difficult, that the sale of new motorhomes and caravans is weak, that it is only a bit better in renting camping vehicles and selling used vehicles. From the same conversations, however, there is a hope that I did not sense during the talks a year ago. And it's not just about words, but facts.

Among the 13 variants of the Hobby De Luxe caravan, probably everyone would be able to find something for themselves. Especially the longest version, measuring almost 8.5 meters, may be appealing. A large amount of space combined with well-thought-out equipment makes it easy to feel at home in this caravan. For the 2014 season, the German manufacturer decided to optimize the weight of its trailers. The new De Luxe caravans are narrower and lighter , which, however, did not affect the feeling of spaciousness in the interior.

The Motor Show 2014 in Poznań begins on March 27. This time the automotive industry will show its feminine face. The City of Women and the Miss Moto competition are two new points on the program. Even a car that can be won is sometimes described as "female". Every year, you can win a car during the Motor Show. This time it will be a Fiat 500 . The car has a chance to reach the visitor who will fill in the competition coupon posted in the "Motor Show Magazyn". Then, the drawn people will be able to take part in the finals, during which you will have to show reflexes, orientation and dexterity. The person with the best results will leave Poznań by car.

The Motor Show 2014 starts tomorrow!
