Carado is, in a sense, Hymer for the people, i.e. a motorhome for customers looking for the best value for money. But the lower price doesn't come out of nowhere. In this case, the manufacturer did not want to save on equipment, so he had to keep the traditional, cheaper design. Carado T 339 is one of the many variants of the semi-integrated motorhome based - of course - on the Fiat Ducato. The distinguishing feature of this version is the length of 699 cm and the double bed in the "king size" size . At a price that in Germany is less than 40 thousand. euro , we can buy quite a large motorhome with a comfortable bed.

In the segment of partially integrated motorhomes, the flagship proposition in the category up to 3.5 tons of GVM is the Globe4 model. Its successor will make its debut at Caravan Salon 2015. Dethleffs produced the first motorhome in 1983. It was a pioneer in the development of both alcove and semi-integrated camper vans at one time. It is also the first German motorhome manufacturer to use a Fiat Ducato chassis with cabin. Now is the time to improve well-proven residential solutions. Motorhomes with aerodynamically profiled bodies have been enjoying growing popularity for years. They are usually several dozen centimeters lower than those in which an additional bedroom is hidden by a large alcove above the factory roof of the car, which makes the latter unrivaled when it comes to the number of sleeping places. The dilemma of choosing a family "house on wheels" has been simplified due to an interesting innovation. A few years ago, the bed lowered from the roof lining caused a sensation among motorhome users. Today, almost every company has in its production program vehicles in which we create a comfortable bedroom with one hand movement (optional electric drives that raise and lower the bed frame). This solution also determined the popularity of the Globe4 model, which since 2009 has been built in two basic specifications for the interior layout - for two travelers and families of 4. Now the successor of this model will debut.

According to many fuel-conscious drivers, there is no other, more cost-effective source of motive power than a diesel engine . Supporters of self-ignition engines recall the high efficiency of diesel engines, much higher than in gasoline units. An additional advantage of most diesels is low fuel consumption and high power and torque . That is why almost all campers and vans available on the market are equipped with diesel engines. On the other side of the barricade there are supporters of simple gasoline engines . In fact, they do not have a lot of power or torque . Their biggest advantage is their simple structure, which enables a relatively cheap conversion to run on more than twice cheaper LPG . Thanks to the attractive price of gas, LPG is an extremely popular fuel, especially in Poland, Turkey and Italy .

LPG installation for a diesel engine, does it make sense?

More than 40 years ago, SEAT made a decision that changed the fate of not only the Spanish brand, but the entire Spanish car industry. In 1975, the SEAT Technical Center was established near Barcelona, which to this day specializes in the latest technologies that are used in the brand's models. This year, the SEAT Technical Center celebrates its 40th anniversary. This place "sketched" the whole picture of the Spanish automotive industry and gave rise to many modern technologies for four wheels. It is the source of the SEAT brand DNA and the birthplace of the Spanish automotive industry. Over the last 5 years, it has absorbed as much as EUR 1.4 billion of investments to design, create and build in an even more ecological and modern way.

For many decades, Swedish car manufacturers were famous for their indestructible turbocharged gasoline engines and their great concern for the safety of passengers . To date, Volvo's approach has not changed (the other Swedish brand - Saab - is struggling with huge problems), and the new Chinese owner of the brand has a lot to do with it. Cars with supercharged gasoline engines, contrary to appearances, are an excellent alternative to vehicles with diesel units. They not only offer more power and torque , but also emit much less harmful substances into the atmosphere . In the Volvo model range, apart from SUVs and regular station wagons, the S60 model is also suitable for us - caravanning enthusiasts. This classic sedan of the middle class, despite the less practical body, works exceptionally well during summer trips.

Almost all of us, avid enthusiasts of caravanning, take into account only SUVs and estate cars due to their passion. Of course, their functionality and capacity can positively surprise many travelers. Nevertheless, cars with a less practical body are equally well suited for towing even a heavy caravan . Sedans , because we are talking about them, in many cases have a spacious trunk, not to mention impressive towing power . One of the most interesting proposals available on the prestigious car market is the BMW 5 Series . The Bavarian limousine is available in a huge number of drive and equipment versions (we also have a practical station wagon to choose from). Probably due to its dignified image, the sedan enjoys greater recognition on the market. The front part of the car is dominated by traditional kidneys - usually decorated with a chrome border. Attention is drawn to the equally eloquent bi-xenon headlights (optional), enriched with LED daytime driving inserts . As befits a high-end vehicle, the 5 Series sideline is calm and elegant.

Poles are increasingly turning to larger and more massive cars - on the American model. Vans are perfect for large families, but the pleasure they provide while driving alone is also important. An interesting proposition on the market is the "gem" of the Spanish manufacturer - the fantastically designed Seat Alhambra. The SEAT Alhambra is a classic based on solid workmanship and high-quality materials. Families, especially the larger ones, pay attention primarily to the spacious interior - when more than five people travel in the car every day, additional seats are needed. A Spanish vehicle provides them: they are located in the luggage compartment, you can easily open them. They were designed with the youngest car users in mind. The remaining comfortable and comfortable seats are intended for slightly older passengers.

During the premiere, Volkswagen T6 was presented in white and red colors. However, it was not a tribute to Polish customers, but a reference to the color of the first generation Volkswagen delivery truck. When presenting the new Transporter, the manufacturer emphasized the historical continuity that already connects six generations of this model. In terms of appearance, the sharpest lines of the T6 stand out from its predecessors. Its front is reminiscent of Volkswagen passenger cars, including the newest Golf and Passat. Of course, this bodes well for commercial success, as it evokes associations with refined and valued cars intended for comfortable travel.

The German brand Custom-Bus is already distinguished by the fact that it builds its motorhomes on the basis of Volkswagen - until recently the T5, and now the T6. But an important distinguishing feature is also the use of clever solutions - simple and practical at the same time. Volkswagen, which leaves a small plant in Langengagen in Lower Saxony after all camping modifications , is hard to distinguish from the factory T6 model . This can be an advantage for many customers, as their car will not attract prying eyes or provoke thieves. Anyway, in a motorhome, the most important thing is the interior.

Each of us has different requirements and preferences regarding the car. Over the last few years, the selection of cars that meet the expectations of caravanning enthusiasts has significantly increased. In addition to classic station wagons, SUVs and SUVs, we also have more practical proposals. VW Transporter and Renault Trafic are the most popular buses on the market - of course, each of them is available in typical passenger versions . There are at least a dozen alternatives, but the little-known Ssangyong Rodius deserves our attention.

For several years, SUVs have been one of the most popular segments (not only on the European market). In the class of universal vehicles, the Japanese are important players from the very beginning, serving functional, refined and durable structures. Virtually all of them will successfully replace the mid-range estate cars, often surpassing them in many categories. In addition to the beloved by Toyota RAV4 drivers, the Honda CRV is very popular - which especially in its latest incarnation attracts customers.

Honda CRV - for traveling

For several years, a real revolution has been taking place on the automotive market, the place of the classic segments is quickly taken over by niche structures - meeting many different expectations. Among the popular Japanese, Korean and German SUVs on the Polish market, their budget alternative has been boldly making for several years. Renault is to blame for everything. The French a few years ago decided to make a little-known, communist brand - Dacia - a serious player. After the success of the first few models, production of the affordable SUV began in 2010 . The neat body was drawn in a very thoughtful way, the effect of the designers' work is liked by virtually everyone. By paying a few hundred zlotys, we can diversify the appearance of the Romanian car with solid sills made of steel pipes , as well as a tubular cover for the front bumper (it is an excellent basis for accessory lighting). Active users will also appreciate the large rear-view mirrors and the solid chrome-plated roof rails .
