Zell am See is a true white pearl of Austria. The town attracts mountain lovers all year round. Ski conditions last for up to 10 months, and access from many places in Europe is convenient. Situated in SalzburgerLand on the Zeller See lake, it is part of the Zell am See - Kaprun resort, a village at the foot of the Kitzsteinhorn glacier (3,203 m above sea level). The complex also includes the Maiskogel. Ski buses run between the towns of the resort. Zell am See is considered to be the region's greatest attraction thanks to its immediate vicinity. The city is surrounded by the Kitzbuhel Alps to the east, the Salzburg Alps to the north and the Hohe Tauern Mountains to the south. The combination of the lake and mountain architecture is impressive. For this reason, there are many luxury hotels, boutiques and villas owned by wealthy people in Europe. The apres-ski atmosphere is one of a kind.

Zell am See - an alpine fairy tale

Jak wygląda zimowy raj? Góry, mnóstwo śniegu, domki jak z bajki, restauracje serwujące grzańca oraz słońce. Do tego narty lub snowboard i mamy przepis na szczęście.  W odległości 1260 km od Warszawy leży austriackie Sölden – miejsce, gdzie narciarskie marzenia się spełniają. Sölden - jeden z najbardziej znanych kurortów narciarsko-snowboardowych znajduje się w dolinie Ötztal. Sama miejscowość liczy niewiele ponad 3.100 mieszkańców, ale jako że sezon trwa tu od października aż do maja, przez większą część roku pęka w szwach. Obliczono, że rocznie przyjeżdża tu ok. 2 mln turystów. Po sezonie narciarskim czas na miłośników wędrówek wysokogórskich i tak przez cały rok.

Sölden - in search of snow

So far, having your own new motorhome has been an unattainable dream for many of us. However, the Warsaw-based Złotniccy company claims that this is the most realistic goal, and we do not have to add money to the new house on wheels, and we can even earn money on it!. How long have you been thinking about having your own motorhome? Most of us who tried caravanning became convinced of this form of tourism. Spending another vacation in a rented car, finally comes the reflection that you could buy your own house on wheels. Doubts soon arise, however. First of all - financial. Let's face it, buying a new car is a big expense, and it's not the kind of "first need".

Camper as a source of income

When we have a motorhome with a minor or larger accident, or we intend to buy a collision car, it is always worth contacting a proven service, specialized in repairing motorhomes. The Elcamp company from Krakow, known as a manufacturer and seller of motorhomes and a distributor of car parts and accessories, also runs a camping car repair service. Not only what's outside Most often, during a collision, elements of the outer skin of the car are damaged. The effects, however, can be much more serious. It is always worth checking if the equipment inside the vehicle and installations: water, gas, electricity, TV and others have not been damaged. The next stage of repair is the replacement of damaged parts . It is safest to get a specific, new part directly from the manufacturer. Elcamp gives a guarantee for all work performed, unless the repair at the customer's request was not carried out in accordance with the recommended technology. Then no one will take responsibility for any future faults. The biggest enemy of any building is its leakage . The vast majority of motorhomes have "sandwich" coverings. After a collision, check if there are any leaks through which water enters the interior, causing the frame to rot. In the event of damage or leakage of the roof, we will usually have nothing else to do but replace it with a brand new one. This usually takes a lot of time and money. Is the repair worth it? In the autumn and winter period, the workshop is working at full speed. A company with as much experience as Elcamp undertakes every repair of a damaged vehicle . Clients usually ask two questions: about the cost and duration of the work. Unfortunately, post-accident repair can take up to several months . This is due to the fact that not all parts are available "out of stock". The cost obviously depends on the degree of damage to the vehicle or its equipment. When the initial cost , which is usually estimated at the first inspection, exceeds the value of the car, it makes no sense to undertake repairs. Repair expenses are, of course, a river topic. They can be up to 100% of the market value of the vehicle. It is worth emphasizing, however, that it is not synonymous with the actual selling price - well-kept cars, repaired with the use of original parts, reach prices above average market prices. Please check before buying Sometimes it's a good idea to buy a used vehicle. However, be careful with new (or almost new) cars at bargain prices . Then we can almost be sure that they have had an accident. Of course, you can do something with them, but it is important to know about a possible collision. The purchase of an accident motorhome can even be profitable, provided that the vehicle is thoroughly inspected and, during the inspection, as much damage as possible related to the incident (or even earlier) is noticed. It even happens that the cost of post-accident work is lower than in the case of non-damage repair. Remember that previous defects are easy to hide in a damaged car, in which the seller will not allow us to connect, for example, electricity or gas during the inspection, explaining that the installations may be out of order. Sometimes it is of course true, but in this way we are deprived of the possibility of checking individual pieces of equipment. Haste is a bad advisor To find a used motorhome in good condition, you need to spend some time searching for it. It is rare that the first copy that catches our eye is actually worth buying. Here there is a small problem - buying a car abroad. Since we are going far and spending money to see the car, even if it does not correspond to the description, we often decide to buy it anyway. This is a serious mistake. When we are not specialists ourselves, it is best to opt for an advisor - it is an expense much lower than the unexpected repair later. Elcamp's experts often advise on the purchase of damaged or used cars, both at the company's headquarters and at the seller, at the request of customers. However, as they say themselves, nothing can replace a car inspection in a professional service prepared for the comprehensive service of camping vehicles, which has all the necessary equipment. Thanks to them, it is possible to detect defects that even an experienced specialist will not notice with the naked eye.

There are short and cold days ahead of us. However, not everyone is in love with skiing or snowboarding. Some people long for spring or look for it in warmer parts of the world. Fortunately, we can choose not only expensive trips to Bali, Seychelles or Rio de Janeiro. We can also find warmer places in Europe. Winter in southern Europe has nothing to do with ours. Since we are not afraid of the temperature in the vicinity of 15-17 degrees on the picnic, we will certainly be able to withstand and 20;). So where to go? We didn't get there in summer due to financial reasons, heat or crowds of tourists. Winter is a great option both for people who want to go sightseeing in peace and for people who are looking for a rest away from the hustle and bustle.

They tempt you with their length, difficulty and beautiful views. It is for them that many of us drive hundreds of kilometers through winter Europe. We present a subjective guide to the most famous ski slopes in Europe. The extremely popular Austrian town of Sölden boasts a beautiful, 15-kilometer blue and red route. It's not too difficult. It starts at the upper station of the Gletscherexpress gondola, under the 3,250-meter Schwarze Schneid peak. It will lead us through the gentle slope of the Rettenbach glacier and then along a several-kilometer straight section along the valley of the same name. We will cover the lowest part, surrounded by forest, along the winding and narrow red route 7a, turning into 9, which leads to the three-thousander Gaislachkogel .

In order to have a good time during the holidays, our motorhome must be properly equipped and adapted to winter conditions . Check what to look for when choosing a vehicle for such a trip. When we go on vacation in a motorhome, we are not afraid of capricious weather. Own house on wheels allows you to move freely not only between the lifts, but also to visit tourist attractions, use the SPA or shopping in the nearest shopping center. All this, however, provided that our motorhome is properly equipped.

How should a motorhome be equipped for winter travel?

Christmas time is approaching. And although we complain that now this period begins after All Souls' Day, there is probably no person who would not like the pre-Christmas atmosphere. A short day, which we fear so much when planning a city break in autumn or winter, can be an advantage when we want to visit Christmas markets taking place in Poland and Europe . Beautifully lit, with interesting animations and the wonderful smell of mulled wine and other delicacies, they attract travelers. Camprest has selected the most beautiful ones for you.

Coral is a series of semi-integrated motorhomes that the manufacturer places in the middle of its offer. You can even risk a statement that this "medium" model is the most typical Adria model - maybe not the most luxurious, but also not the most economical. Slovenian Adria has been on the market for over 50 years. During this time, it has managed to gain a loyal group of dedicated users who appreciate, above all, a good value for money. However, because competitors are following Adria's heels, the manufacturer must try to surprise with new solutions.

Adria Coral - with a glass roof

Volkswagen Crafter is a solid car designed for hard work. Ample loading space, a large number of available variants, wide doors, low loading edge - these are important advantages in a transport company or on a construction site. But at the campground? Will such a car work as a motorhome?. The Crafter was launched in 2006 as a result of Volkswagen's collaboration with Daimler AG and was closely related to the Mercedes Sprinter. 10 years later, Volkswagen presented the second generation of the Crafter, which has virtually nothing in common with its predecessor. The car finally looks like a "purebred" Volkswagen and even before it went on sale, it won the "International Van of the Year 2017" title .

Can a van be a motorhome?

Did you know that Volkswagen California is already 30 years old? About 160,000 units have been produced since the first version of this revolutionary car was produced. So far, four generations of California have been created. Among the many camper vans, California has always stood out for its distinctive feature - a lifting roof that extends almost two meters above the ground to form a small tent. Today, however, the lifting roof is also found in motorhomes of other brands. So let's check what else distinguishes the current generation of California.
