Concorde doesn't have huge competition. There are few manufacturers in Europe who build camping vehicles as luxurious and, for example, based on trucks as the Mercedes-Benz Atego. Concorde Cruiser hits a certain niche. It is a motorhome prepared for demanding customers who are able to spend about 200-300 thousand zlotys on a holiday vehicle. euro. However, it is not enough to have a lot of cash. You also need a category C driving license. Cruisers are no longer vans, but real trucks. In addition to the aforementioned Atego Mercedes , Concorde also builds the Iveco Daily, Iveco EuroCargo and MAN TGL models.

Are you going to a charming place? Take your bikes with you - not only for yourself, but for the whole family. With the right trunk, that shouldn't be a problem. Choosing the right solution may not be easy, but that's because the market is very competitive and therefore quite a lot of solutions. It is best for owners of large motorhomes, who can put their bikes in the car without noticeably limiting the space. This is possible, for example, when the vehicle has a mini-garage. But even if there is a lot of space in your motorhome, it is best to choose a suitable carrier (in this case, internal), which will help to secure the bikes in a stable position. Among the advantages, the most important are that such a trunk does not increase the external dimensions of the car and does not increase fuel consumption. The downside is the limitation of free space.

Smooth lines, modern design and the chassis… lying on the ground. Beyond - the concept of a caravan for new times, destroys the standards that we meet today in caravanning. The concept, which is also the diploma thesis of Markus Kurkowski , a graduate of the Department of Design in Darmstadt (Germany), was not without reason appreciated by the jury of the RedDot Award competition. This original design is not only about great design, but also about the idea. Kurowski's concept fits in with the tendency, which has been present in architecture for many years, to break down barriers that limit the use of a given facility, e.g. for people with disabilities.

The LMC Cruiser SportLine is a partially integrated motorhome based on the Fiat Ducato. Actually standard. However, it is worth paying attention to this model, because it is quite spacious, and the manufacturer gives a 12-year warranty on the tightness of the body. It is inconspicuous from the outside, it shows its possibilities in the interior. Cruiser SportLine is available in 5 versions - the offer includes 2 models with single beds and 3 with double beds. The shortest version measures 599 cm , and the longest - 738 cm. There are also variants with a length of 698 and 722.5 cm.

Warwick XL is a motorhome of the British brand Auto-Sleepers. The base in this case is the Peugeot Boxer in the version with a length of 636 cm. In Great Britain, the car costs just over 49 thousand. pounds. Warwick XL is one of the 7 variants of motorhomes based on the Boxer model. Customers can choose vehicles of various lengths and different interior layouts. However, it is the Warwick XL, updated for 2014, that has several distinguishing features that are particularly worth paying attention to. It is the longest model , and this gives greater opportunities for good interior design. The manufacturer used the space in an unusual way - instead of adding more beds, as its competitors would probably do, he opted for more comfort for two people.

Volkswagen Amarok is a very successful pickup, which in the four-wheel drive version may turn out to be a quite efficient off-roader. What if you add a camping structure to it? This is what the German Bimobil did. Critics dismiss this car as soon as they see it. The motorhome, which is called Bimobil Husky with camping equipment, strikes some people with its angular living space, which does not fit the round shape of the Amarok at all. However, proponents do not care about aesthetics - they focus on practical advantages.

We present 6 smartphone applications that can be useful not only when going on vacation. We only considered free software. Most of them also have more extensive paid versions. This is one of the most interesting Polish applications for drivers, which can also act as a car navigation. Its main purpose is to warn about police cars, speed cameras, accidents and traffic jams appearing nearby. Thanks to Yanosik, we will quickly avoid bottlenecks and avoid possible fines. The application is social - i.e. the drivers themselves report when they see a threat. The program for phones is free. However, we can buy the entire device, which will facilitate the reporting of visible events (by pressing a button) and receiving information about the traffic situation. The set for about PLN 500 also includes one year of internet access, which is necessary to take advantage of the system's capabilities. Competitive for Yanosik is Coyote.

Too small for a motorhome? Nissan NV200 Combi is hard to suspect of touristic possibilities. But the British company Lunar Caravans proves that under certain circumstances the small Nissan turns out to be spacious enough. The representatives of the Lunar brand say it straightforwardly - their goal was to offer a car that will work both in everyday use and during a holiday trip. Based on a Nissan small van, the Vacanza fits in perfectly. A car with a length of 4.4 meters and a width of 2 meters (including the mirrors) will allow for agile negotiating even tight corners and narrow streets of European cities. It is a big advantage if we plan to actively visit.

Lunar Vacanza - for holidays and shopping

Viseo is one of the motorhomes awarded in the Motorhome of the Year 2014 plebiscite. In the case of the smallest integrated vehicle from Buerstner, the award seems fully deserved. Viseo is a motorhome that seems modern at first glance. The oblique headlamps with round lamps blend seamlessly with the body line, which does not indicate the car's affinity with the Fiat Ducato. However, there are many manufacturers who make little changes to the inside of the car by making changes to the exterior design. This is not the case with Viseo.

The British brand Bailey decided to develop its own caravan design, different from the one that has been used by manufacturers for the last 30 years. The introduction of the Alu-Tech system was preceded by intensive tests. Already in the 1980s, the concept was born, according to which the body of a caravan has several layers. To this day, "sandwich" constructions, most often using plywood elements that are not very resistant to moisture, are used by many manufacturers. Bailey concluded that 30 years is enough time for technology to move forward. The company started working on a new structure, which was to be more resistant to weather conditions (inside it should be dry and warm as long as possible), more durable, more aerodynamic and stable at the same time. It was also important that the design changes did not negatively affect the weight of the caravan.

Fiat Ducato is a car that forms the basis for the vast majority of motorhomes built today. Therefore, the premiere of the new generation is an event not only in the automotive world, but also in industries related to camping tourism. Fiat Ducato and its twin models - Peugeot Boxer and Citroen Jumper - are by far the most popular vans in the world. It was also very successful. The fifth generation of Fiat Ducato collects a lot of positive feedback from users. Will the new Ducato / Boxer / Jumper models repeat the success of their predecessors? Will they be equally willing to be adapted for tourist purposes? Will they maintain their dominant position on campsites? So far, everything points to it.

New Fiat Ducato 2014 - premiere

Semi-integrated motorhome? It is almost always built on a Fiat Ducato chassis. Van-based motorhome? If not a Ducato, then probably a Volkswagen T5. The British Wellhouse proposes something else - motorhomes based on Ford and Hyundai designs. Wellhouse is not following the path of least resistance. This is evidenced by the fact that he decided to build motorhomes on the basis of the Hyundai i800 and the Ford Tourneo . I admit that I do not know any other company that would use these cars for camping (not counting those that declare that they will rebuild a vehicle of any brand).
