Niewiadów SA is not only a Polish trailer manufacturer. Recently, he is also a manufacturer of Romer motorhomes. Let's see if they can be a serious alternative to camping vehicles from Western manufacturers. It cannot be denied that the greatest advantage of Romer is its… price. 200 thousand PLN for a motorhome built on the Fiat Ducato Maxi platform, equipped with a 3-liter engine with 160 hp is relatively little. Especially if we look at the rich equipment. Niewiadów can also boast an extensive service network - about 30 authorized points in Poland will help keep the motorhome in good condition.

Sterckeman offers three models of trailers in 25 basic configurations. Interestingly, the largest selection will be in the case of the simple and light Starlett model (13 varieties), the more expensive Alize model comes in 9 varieties, and the most luxurious Espace model only in three. Don't let the name fool you - Sterkeman is a French company with a 60-year tradition. It has its sales points all over Western Europe. In Poland, this brand does not have an authorized dealer yet, which is a pity, because its offer is worth attention.

The vestibule is not a mandatory element of a caravan or motorhome. However, it is worth having it. Why? The main reason is that you can protect yourself from the sun. On hot days, we will protect the motorhome from heating up, and at the same time we will separate a space that will allow us to rest in the shade. If for this it will be the so-called A "full" vestibule, which in addition to the side walls also allows you to cover the entrance to the caravan, we will create something like a veranda that will enlarge our private territory.

Don&#39;t forget the vestibule

If we look at this trailer from the side, we will not be surprised. The black alloy wheels and aerodynamic edges of the Grande Puccini may appeal, but the look is in keeping with the canon of today's high-end caravans. The surprise will appear only when we look at the rear of this vehicle. The triple oblique lights on the sides of the trailer do not resemble any other known model. An additional impression is made by the large logo-coat of arms of the Tabbert brand placed in the center and, as if the coat of arms alone was not enough, a large inscription with the company's name.

Campers of the German brand Sunlight are advertised in Poland with the slogan "Perfection and quality at the lowest price". The lowest price in this case is approx. 40 thousand. euro gross. All Sunlight campers are based on the Fiat Ducato design. The width of each vehicle is 233 cm, but they differ in length and height. The length may vary from 623 to 728 cm. The height depends on the chassis variant. The T models are 291 mm tall and the A series models are 310 mm high. In total, there are as many as 11 variants of the Sunglight models to choose from. Interestingly, the cheapest version of the A58 is not the one that can accommodate the fewest people. This model can travel 4 people, while different versions of the Sunlight models allow for accommodation from 3 to even 6 people. However, it is worth mentioning that if more than 4 people are to travel in a motorhome, you need to buy a safety package with additional seat belts and headrests.

Sunlight - decent, but not crazy

Elddis is a British brand that creates premium caravans. Although almost completely unknown in our country, it is worth attention. Elddis has offices in Great Britain, Belgium and the Netherlands. In Poland, they are not yet available, although it may be a pity. The company offers trailers with a standard that goes beyond what we know even from high-class German trailers. The cheapest, "budget" Xplore model is worth attention, as it is advertised as attractive in terms of price, and at the same time without compromises. Well, "cheapness" is a relative thing, and in this case it means 11,000. pounds for the smallest and least equipped trailer.

British who hates compromises

Contrary to the name, Antares Luxe caravan is the simplest, not the most luxurious model from the collection of the French company Caravelair. Prices start at 9,590 euros. Light, easy to tow, with an intelligently laid out interior, and also inexpensive - this is the Antares Luxe trailer in the opinion of the manufacturer. This model seems to have a favorable price / quality ratio. There are maybe no gadgets or other solutions that would cause delight, but there are also no reasons to complain. Both from the outside and the inside, the caravan seems to be decently made. Good materials, modest but pleasing design, functionality - these features can win over the fans of this model.

When going on a camping trip, especially if it is your first trip, you should double-check that everything you need is in your camper or caravan. This time, we will not analyze basic equipment related to plumbing or heating and cooling. You must have noticed these elements much earlier. What you can forget are the trifles. However, it may turn out that the lack of what seems to be only a useful gadget will become a bothersome problem at the campsite. First of all, you should not forget about the elements that should always accompany you on a long journey. These include a tow bar, first aid kit, warning triangle, tool kit, flashlight and snow chains when hiking in winter conditions. A pump for inflating the wheels will also be useful.

If you are planning to buy a new motorhome, you may find it difficult to find a model based on a platform other than a Fiat Ducato. In this respect, Rimor Nemho, based on the Ford Transit, may be an interesting variety. The motorhome of the Italian company Rimor can be considered a mid-range offer. The Ford Transit with a camping superstructure is certainly not one of the largest motorhomes, but it is also not a midget. Nemho is available in three variants with a length from 7255 mm to 7365 mm. The width of the vehicle is 2,340 mm.

Before you go on your first spring or summer trip with a trailer, it is worth paying attention to it. Before the spring and summer season, you should carefully check the condition of the trailer. And although you cannot stop at the external inspection only, you can start with them. We usually start preparing the trailer from taking care of its body. Thorough washing of the trailer is important not only for aesthetic reasons - during washing, we may come across, for example, cracks or leaks that will need to be removed.

How to prepare your caravan for the season

Although we make the most important decisions regarding the equipment at the stage of purchasing the right caravan or car, there is nothing to prevent us from taking care of the appropriate equipment later. The list of devices that we can equip our house on wheels with is so long that the main limitation will be our financial capabilities or, possibly, the capacity of our vehicle. And since space is always limited, it's worth analyzing what you really need while camping before shopping. Let us take into account the conditions in which we travel most often, because something else will be useful for people who use a caravan on hot days on a campsite, and something else for motorhome users, visiting countries in different climatic zones and spending most of their time on the move.

How to equip a caravan or motorhome?

There are those who assume in advance that in terms of equipment, the caravan will always lose to the motorhome. Does a small Eriba-Touring give grounds to challenge this opinion?. Well, even the greatest skeptic will probably be able to convince you that a 7-8 meter caravan can be equipped no worse than a luxury motorhome. But what can be said about the trailer, which measures 483 cm in its shortest version and 576 cm in the longest? Touring is the shortest model offered under the Eriba brand (its owner is the German Hymer, known for the production of motorhomes).
