At the west end of France, in the city of Brest, there is a small plant that converts small vans into motorhomes. Characteristic for the Iroise brand are models with a lifting roof, which the company uses mainly on the basis of the Volkswagen T6, Peugeot Expert and Fiat Doblo. Today we will focus on these last two proposals. The biggest novelty in the Iroise range is the new Peugeot Expert. As a motorhome, it comes with two types of roof. The first model was conceived as a four-seater vehicle, and its greatest distinguishing feature is the tilting roof with a double sleeping place "on the upper floor". You can also sleep in the lower part of the cabin.

Flow Camper is not meant to be ultra-modern at all. Instead, it has to be homely, cool, easy to like and that's why - based on the simplest solutions. For the creators of the brand, clear, transparent rules are also important, which is why the customer receives full tourist equipment as standard. How much money is a customer willing to pay for the impression that they are buying a vehicle with a soul? According to the German manufacturer, it must be at least 46 thousand. euro - that's how the cheapest FlowCamper was priced. But will such an expense actually make us go back in time and feel the energy that the hippies had around us? I am afraid that equipping the newest Volkswagen Transporter with colorful kilims is not enough - but let everyone judge it for themselves.

While many motorhome manufacturers still offer the choice between two or three body colors, the Slovenian company distinguished itself in the simplest way possible - with a total of 10 different paint finishes for customers to choose from. The rest is pretty much standard - but a good standard. Bravia Mobil is a little known manufacturer of motorhomes, which creates its motorhomes on the basis of the Peugeot Boxer . The brand was founded in 2005, and its roots are not related to the automotive industry, but to the production of furniture. The Vidmar company has been producing furniture for over 30 years, and the search for new expansion opportunities prompted the owners to use their furniture know-how also in the bodies of tourist vehicles.

The huge demand for motorhomes, especially motorhomes, which we are currently dealing with in Europe (especially in Germany) has caused new producers to enter the game. Womondo is a new brand that wants to build extraordinary touring vehicles - so far based on the Opel Movano. The "new" in the industry has to somehow stand out. At a time when most motorhomes are based on the Fiat Ducato , choosing the Opel Movano will surely be an eye-catching move. However, what is supposed to be the most important feature associated with Womondo is the possibility of preparing a "tailor-made" car, which in this case means 10,000 available configurations! The customer can determine the color of the motorhome himself, choose upholstery and determine the equipment of the vehicle. Configuration can be done directly on the Womondo.net website.

Can you take… a trailer with you for a bike ride? Yes, of course! The trailer by Wide Path Camper is small, light and can be easily pulled by a bicycle. This caravan is so small that in terms of comfort and equipment it will not compete with any full-size caravan. However, it has other advantages, and those who like to take long bicycle trips will appreciate them. It is certainly more comfortable to travel without such ballast than with it, but how else can you take a place to sleep with you? If we are going to go camping by bike, then we also have to put the luggage and the tent somewhere, so still - even a small trailer could be useful.

The first superstructure, or actually a camping extension, was made by Josef Tischer in 1973 , by mounting it to the Volkswagen Golf . More than 40 years later, the company, led by Peter, the son of the founder, produces nearly 200 annual bodies and collects awards, incl. for the strength and tightness of the body. What is behind the success of the Tischer brand? At the time when the first buildings of this type were built, they were a great alternative to caravans - more expensive, heavier and more difficult to maneuver. Today, however, the buildings of the German company are still selling well, despite the strong competition in the form of motorhomes.

People who are just about to buy their first motorhome may have a real problem. The choice of motorhomes and caravans is very large, the differences in prices between individual models - huge, and there is also the size of various varieties. So where to start?. In this article, we will not tell you what brand or model of motorhome or caravan to choose. However, we want to suggest what you should pay attention to before you start looking for a specific vehicle that best suits your needs. Exactly - "needs" is the key word here. It depends on them whether a camper van, a semi-integrated model with or without an alcove, or a caravan will be better.

The Averso Plus caravan is Burstner's proposal for a family larger than two adults and two children. Although the vehicle has quite standard dimensions, it can sleep six or even seven people.

If you don't know yet what to ask Santa Claus this year, we have two tips for you. We hope you would enjoy such a gift, but… there is a problem. Getting these trailers is not just a matter of money. That is why we think the intervention of a Saint would be very useful here. Slightly rounded trailers, reminiscent of vehicles from years ago, have been experiencing their renaissance for a long time - especially in the United States. Nest (literally "Nest") is in line with the trend, according to which the caravan should look both classic and modern. But fresh and simply great design is not everything in this case.
