The design and technical solutions of BusKampers are legally protected throughout the EU. At the Motorshow fair in Poznań, the debut of another proposal signed by a manufacturer from Poland was waiting for us. This is probably the first motorhome with the Star-Stop system!. BusKamper owners willingly take them on long trips. The limited size of buildings goes hand in hand with unexpectedly great independence in camping. Almost a full functional program - the only thing missing is a bathroom in the interior (there is an external shower and a yacht toilet), it goes hand in hand with a very happy budget for the trips.

During the Motor Show in Poznań, the Caravanning Salon was once again presented on the domestic market. The range of refrigerators has been enriched with the latest achievements of engineers and specialists in industrial design. For years, Dometic has provided intelligent and reliable products with unique designs, not only for caravan and motorhome owners. More than 12,000 partners on the international market and the richest program of refrigerators guarantee mobile solutions that make life easier both on the road and on board a yacht. Each time you can choose the refrigerator capacity you are interested in in three different cooling technologies. Although each one will keep your food fresh every day, note that the cooling power of thermoelectric and absorption coolers is also significantly influenced by the ambient temperatures. The latter also ensure maximum independence in terms of power supply: they work with the mains, vehicle battery and gas. Their disadvantage is ... high price. Portable compressor coolers operate independently of the outside temperature and provide the best cooling performance for all applications while consuming very little energy. Unlike other cooling systems, deep-freezing is possible. And it is with such a proposal that we will begin our review of new products in the program of the market leader in cooling equipment.
