The German company La Strada specializes in the construction of the so-called motorhome-vans. Currently, it offers three models, one of which is based on the Fiat Ducato and two on the Mercedes Sprinter. The cheapest option in La Strada's offer is the Avanti model range. There are as many as 6 basic variants, each of which is based on the Fiat Ducato. This is a fairly standard proposition. The distinguishing features of the Avanti series are, however, some characteristic details, such as interestingly stylized sofa headrests , bold color variants of the upholstery and a large selection of furniture fronts. There are, for example, interiors in silver and red colors . The motorhome is equipped with, among others in 70-liter tanks for fresh water and sewage.

If a motorhome must cost you a lot of money anyway, let it be at least the vehicle you really dream about - this is how the philosophy of the British company SC Sporthomes, offering luxury touring cars, can be summed up. SC Motorhomes has four models in its basic offer. Two of them are based on the Mercedes Sprinter (you can also choose Volkswagen Crafter or Iveco Daily ). But if that's not enough for you, you can opt for one of the two more motorhomes based on the Mercedes Atego . The basic model is the SC Leisure Tourer - dedicated to those who do not need a large garage in their car. There is, however, a large dining room that can be converted into a double bed at night. But the same is also proposed by other companies!.

CaraCompact is a new model of the semi-integrated motorhome from Weinsberg. The motorhome based on the new Fiat Ducato will be available only in one variant for the time being. The CaraCompact gives the impression of a compact and even a bit "muscular" vehicle. Its silhouette looks very proportional thanks to its relatively small width of 220 cm. The interior is 205 cm wide. The car is 674 cm long and its height is 272 cm (inside - 200 cm). The permissible total weight is standard, so it amounts to 3.5 tons. The maximum load capacity is 740 kg .

This trailer can cause a lot of confusion. When you see it in the back, you might think it's the old, iconic Volskwagen T1, the so-called "cucumber". But where is the front? Has someone cut him off ?!. DubBox is a trailer that makes an amazing impression. This is because everything about her appearance seems old, classic, real. It's hard to believe that it can only be a replica, in addition, using modern GfK material in its construction. This is what it is. Dub Box is a trailer made by a British company in two lengths - 270 cm and 489 cm .

Dub Box, or who cut the cucumber?

The Tabbert Rossini is theoretically a reference to the past, because a few years ago a caravan was already produced under this name. The new Rossini, however, has much more in common with its older and bigger brothers than with its predecessor. Tabbert trailers are considered luxury vehicles. Rossini, on the other hand, is to be an offer for those who dream of luxury , but the balance of the account does not necessarily reflect their aspirations. It's a bit like a Mercedes A-Class or BMW 1 Series - like a premium brand, but the price is not as unavailable as in the case of truly luxurious limousines.

In America, you can also find campers - not only large buses adapted for tourist purposes, but also Fiat Ducato, Mercedes Sprinter and Iveco Daily. “Vacation travel does not have to mean sacrificing comfort. Just take it with you ”- this is how the American brand Jayco advertises its motorhomes. It is the comfort that is to be the main distinguishing feature of this company's products. Jayco specializes in the production of caravans , but also offers two touring cars, promoted as vehicles that, unlike caravans, do not need to be towed.

The Danish brand Camp-let has distributors all over Europe, Turkey and South Korea. In Poland, the representative of the manufacturer of very unusual caravans is Mobicamp . Why unusual? Just take a look!. If you think of a caravan, you probably mean a house on wheels. When looking at Camp-let vehicles for the first time, you will think that it is a small cargo trailer. But it's just such, um, "optical illusion". You can really live in a caravan, the roof of which is approximately at the level of the lower window line of a passenger car!.

If you want a trailer that will make a sensation on our roads, go shopping in Australia (where Jayco has a large dealer network) or the United States (where it comes from) . With a caravan like Jayco Silverline, European caravans could get complex. Of the 8 Silverline variants, the longest are 9,035 mm (7,750 mm in the interior) and the shortest 8,039 mm (6,760 mm in the interior). But not only the length matters. This caravan impresses with a high floor, and thus a large ground clearance under it and large wheels (nitrogen-pumped) with obligatory alloy wheels. The original look is also influenced by large tinted windows and the streamlined shape of the front. It would be difficult to find something like that in the offer of European producers.

The new Iveco Daily is available for sale from June. It can be said that this model is 80% new, because such a part of the components has been modified or redesigned. Will this model work as a base for a motorhome? There are many arguments in favor of this, including the presence of long and wide versions in the offer, which beg to be used for recreational buildings. First things first. Appearance is relative, but the Iveco Daily looks modern and dynamic. Many people will surely like this style. A low loading threshold , high-positioned lights and a larger windscreen area than in the previous version are features that affect not only the aesthetics, but also the practical features of the new Iveco.

What to take with you to the beach? It can be a blanket, an inflatable mattress, a surfboard and a Fiat 500L. But the latter must be in the beach version!. Unfortunately, the implementation of this plan will not be easy, as for now Fiat declares that the beach Fiat 500L is only a concept vehicle, prepared especially for the Vans US Open of Surfing surfing event. To see this car, you'd have to go to Huntington Beach soon, because the championship will end soon. Well, unless Fiat changes its mind and after the warm reception of this car by viewers and the media from around the world decides that the concept car is worth developing into a commercial form.

Maneuvering a caravan while parking can be very troublesome, especially when there is little space left. In some situations, it would be best to make the trailer drive itself into the garage or park itself in the right place on the camping site... So far, no trailer will position itself completely on its own, but maneuvering the vehicle using a remote control also sounds interesting. There are systems, commonly called "movers", that allow a person standing next to the trailer to steer it by pressing appropriate buttons.

Do you feel a breath of fresh air? Here are new motorhomes that will not be available for sale until 2015. Let's check what we can expect from refreshed products from popular manufacturers. Hobby fills the gaps in its offer. In a separate article, we described the Vantana model, which will be the cheapest proposition of this brand. Optima is to fill the gap between the Siesta and Premium models. So it will be a medium-sized semi-integrated motorhome . The car is to be available in four lengths : 599 cm, 673 cm, 698.4 cm and 738 cm, so everyone should find something for themselves. The chosen length will have the greatest impact on the spaciousness of the bathroom. In the shorter versions it will be a tight corner where the toilet almost merges with the shower tray, in the medium ones - the shower cubicle will look more like the home one, and in the largest - it will be placed in a room separate from the bathroom.
