Karmann - comfort in a small space

This year's novelty from the Burstner brand is ... a compact, semi-integrated camper with an alcove. Its appearance in the offer of the German manufacturer is the best proof that the twilight of motorhomes with a fixed bedroom over the heads of the driver and passenger has not yet come. On the one hand, there is a growing interest in motorhomes, and on the other - motorhomes with fold-down beds. From year to year, however, there are less and less traditional tourist cars with an alcove. Now, however, lovers of such vehicles are given a new reason to be pleased.

For the 2016/2017 season, Laika has prepared two new versions of its motorhomes. Although the Italian brand also offers fully integrated vehicles, the new products concern semi-integrated vehicles without alcoves, i.e. those that may be of interest to the largest group of customers. The Kreos model with a lowered roof (i.e. without an alcove) is available in seven variants. The latest one is called 3009 and is probably the most important novelty in Laika's 2017 offer . Although it is difficult to talk about a revolution in this case, this model can count on the interest of buyers.

Laika - Dolce Vita in new variants

Carthago - a motorhome manufacturer that defines itself as number one in the premium class, has not proposed any completely new model for the new season. However, he introduced many modifications and enriched the current range of motorhomes with new, interesting floor plans. Some changes may surprise you!.

It is also worth noting that many models have double doors between the bedroom and bathroom , which will provide more intimacy for users.

Integrated Pilote motorhomes have gained a new "face". This is a good opportunity to take a look at the refreshed range of Galaxy models. This is not the first time that a French manufacturer is trying to convince us by proposing an incredibly large selection of variants - in this case, there are as many as 18 of them!. Pilote did something surprising. Usually, the manufacturers of motorhomes, the so-called A-classes try to distinguish their cars as much as possible from the base cars, i.e. - most often - from Fiat Ducato . The point is that when looking at, for example, a fully integrated Hymer or Hobby, we do not have the impression that we are watching a Ducato with attached camping accessories.

Pilote Galaxy - the choice is dizzying!

It's surprising that the hardest thing is to come up with something that turns out to be trivial! The American company Sylvan Sport produces light trailers that are used for ... Well, the list of possible applications is so long that it is difficult to mention them in one sentence, although the trailer itself seems to embody the idea of minimalism and simplicity. Europeans like things that are small, practical and versatile. And the Americans? According to stereotypes, they prefer large dimensions. Perhaps that is why the company's founder and trailer designer initially planned that his "invention" would be intended for the European market. But what was his surprise when it turned out that his product immediately became an instant hit in America! This unexpected interest made Sylvan Sport set off to conquer the European market with a long delay (so far the trailer is available in the UK), but it certainly has a bestseller to offer.

Why has the Bürstner brand, which has been producing caravans since 1958, released a special edition of motorhomes to celebrate ... the 30th anniversary? This is not the result of some fatal mistake, but the fact that the first motorhomes of this brand hit the market in 1986 . That is why the jubilee offer applies only to cars. The German manufacturer, wanting to emphasize its extensive experience in the design and production of motorhomes, decided to prepare a special edition of selected motorhomes. The jubilee offer included the Travel Van T 620 G, Nexxo Time T 569, T 660 and T 690 G, Ixeo Time IT 586, IT 590, IT 710 G and IT 726 G models and the integrated Viseo I 690 G.

There has been talk of the prototype of a light trailer from the Knaus brand for several years. Now, however, the Travelino model really goes into production. Some say that this livestock can be a milestone in the caravanning industry because it weighs just 650 kg. Is it possible for a caravan to weigh so little? Of course, yes, but with such weight, we can imagine an extremely small and cramped vehicle. Meanwhile, it is not so bad with Travelino - 519 cm in length , 210 cm in width and 258 cm in height are obviously not the dimensions of a giant, but for many customers these values will be sufficient. The permissible total weight is 750 kg , so we can allocate 100 kg for luggage and additional equipment.

The new offer of Adria campers is likely to meet with great interest from customers in Poland.

Adria is having a good run. In 2015, sales of its vehicles increased by 22% compared to the previous year, and the company achieved its best financial results since 2007. Currently, Adria's share in the European market is estimated at 6.3% , and the trend is growing.

The fact that the oncoming motorhome is Malibu is hard to miss, because the large inscription between the headlights is rather impossible not to notice. However, if someone is not particularly observant, the logo placed on the roof window, on the sides and at the rear of the vehicle will remind him of the brand. Why does the manufacturer care so much that the name of his motorhome is well remembered? Perhaps because among those interested in caravanning, Cathargo's parent company is still better known than its "baby" called Malibu .

Malibu - a decent camper at a nice price

How can you briefly tell about everything that can be seen at the Caravan Salon fair in Düsseldorf? This is of course impossible, so below we have collected only a few new products from various categories, which, for example, illustrate current trends.

An interesting fact is the fridge that went to the smallest motorhome called Vantana . In this vehicle, it was installed for the first time in a row of cabinets under the ceiling. The device, designed together with the Dometic brand, has a capacity of 90 liters and consists of two parts - one is opened by a lifting door, the other - by sliding the shelf (by default for drinks). The width of such a refrigerator is 1.40 m.
