One TV in the trailer is not enough? Australians will add two more, and a washing machine and dryer. The entire family of Elite caravans consists of several dozen models. However, there are three basic series, although it must be admitted that there is a lot of variety within each of them. Elite , as the name suggests, wants to produce elite (read - luxury) caravans. Luxury, however, has many names, so the offer includes both the diamond series, which includes trailers with very rich equipment, a family series with bunk beds, as well as the most original series of off-road trailers in this set.

European motorhomes are often very similar to each other. Americans, meanwhile, have a completely different view of caravanning, as exemplified by the Forester of the Forest River brand. A typical American truck with the engine well in front of the windshield, in the camper version? Yes, that's what Forester is. Its basis is - to choose from - a Chevrolet or Ford model specially prepared for the bodywork. A total of 19 versions are available. In the case of Chevrolet, the length can be from 7.4 m to even 9.5 m. However, this is still not much compared to the Ford, which can be up to 9.8 m long (the shortest version measures 7.3 m).

Forester - American luxury

A caravan or a motorhome, as they are very small houses on wheels, have their drawbacks. The more troublesome may include imperfections in ventilation systems and difficulties in keeping clean ... When many people stay in a recreational vehicle for a long time, but also in many other situations, an additional device for replacing used air with fresh air would be useful. One such device is Dometic Breathe Easy . This device can be helpful not only to introduce some fresh air into the vehicle. Removing cigarette smoke or cooking odors are obvious uses. Last but not least, Breathe Easy removes mold spores .

Clean and airy at the campsite

Security can mean many different things, but there is a way for them. Escaping gas, burglary or children's play may be less risky with the right accessories. An alarm in a motorhome or caravan is a security feature that everyone knows. However, the motorhome can also be secured in other ways. A robbery may include, for example, spraying narcotic gas in the vehicle. But gas can also escape from a gas cylinder or a leaking system. A good gas detector should recognize any type of hazardous substance in the air.

Different faces of security

Matrix is by definition the best of Adria's semi-integrated motorhomes. Only fully integrated models are above, and below five more economical motorhomes. A spacious interior, comfortable sleeping places, L-shaped kitchens and good equipment - these are, according to the manufacturer, the characteristic features of all models from the Matrix series. It should be noted that the Matrix is not the same as the Matrix. There are three different series in the Matrix family - Matrix Axess, Matrix (just like that) and the largest - Matrix Supreme.

While at the campsite, you don't have to plunge into darkness. At the same time, you don't have to worry that electricity consumption will ruin your budget. The solution is LED lighting. LED bulbs consume up to 90% less energy than halogen lighting. They are long-lasting, do not heat up and can run on batteries for a long time. These advantages make LED lighting ideal for motorhomes and caravans. They can be placed in various places, illuminating almost every corner of the vehicle without fear that electricity bills will be a threat to our wallets or that the electricity supplies on board will run out quickly.

More light on board

The trailer can be uncomfortable to drive and sometimes it becomes a troublesome ballast. But what's the alternative? The tent itself is not enough. The Danish company Camp-Let has found a compromise. If you like adventures, bold ideas and you have at least a hobbyist's line in you, you may like these trailer-tents (as defined by the Polish distributor). The trailer itself is small. When closed, it has dimensions of 323 x 160 x 95 cm . So comparing such a trailer with any caravan seems pointless. When you see the photos for the first time, where this small caravan is visible, and next to it there is a large tent with a living and sleeping area, you may not associate that these two elements have something in common. And yet….

Camp-let - caravan and tent in one

It may seem that an awning designed to protect against the sun is so simple that there is not much that can be invented to improve it. And yet…. Dometic Premium awnings are a good example of how innovation can enter any industry and any product category. Most of the awnings that can be attached to a motorhome are mounted on one side to the wall of the caravan (or motorhome), and on the other side, feet ensure their stability. Note, however, that home or shop awnings, mounted on buildings, have no legs ...

What can modern awnings do?

In a comparison made by the Dutch magazine "Camping, Cars & Caravans", costing approx. 10 thousand. The Weinsberg trailer euro turned out to be the test winner. The editors of the magazine, testing the low-budget caravans, appreciated the CaraOne 420 QD model by Weinsberg. The testers noted, among others for comfortable beds, good-quality furniture, a well-presented living room, and some storage solutions. The tested model was the second - counting from the cheapest - model in the Weinsberg collection. The 400 LK version cost 1,000 euros less. However, there are a total of 8 versions of trailers to choose from.

Weinsberg Cara One - the trailer was appreciated

Sunny, hot summer ... When we wait for it, it seems like a dream come true. But when it comes, we often want nothing more than a little cool. If you don't want caravanning to feel like a sauna on wheels, think about air conditioning in advance. When choosing the right air conditioner, you should consider the length of your motorhome or caravan. A longer vehicle will require a more efficient device. If you opt for a rooftop air conditioner, you can choose a unit that is integrated with the sunroof.

Modern air conditioning

A van where you can eat, but also sleep and rest - in 2003, the German carpenter, Hubert Voller, began to implement this vision. This is how VanEssa was born, the name of which comes from the combination of the words "van" and "essen" (to eat). As an active vacationer, Voller knew that most motorhomes and caravans are only used for a few weeks of the year. They are not needed for the rest of the time. What if it was possible to easily equip an ordinary passenger car with the necessary tourist equipment? This would solve many problems. It would take a moment to put in the appropriate furniture, which would allow frequent spontaneous trips without the need to purchase or rent a second car or trailer.

Hobby Siesta is a motorhome, which - according to the manufacturer's assumptions - provides relatively high comfort at a reasonable price. In Germany, the price is EUR 43,600, but in Poland you can buy this model for less than 40,000. euro. Siesta is a representative of partially integrated motorhomes - that is, it is something more than a van with a camping "shed", but we can easily see where the tourist development begins. The basis of the Siesta is the Ford Transit, thanks to which this Hobby model differs from most motorhomes, which are usually based on the Fiat Ducato.
