If we want to be sure that our navigation will certainly work well in a motorhome, we have two solutions to choose from. The first, more popular, is the choice of navigation designed with trucks in mind. The second variant is still not very popular navigation for vans. Some of the two types of these devices have special functions that are specific to RVs. We will look at two such devices. The vast majority of motorhomes are currently built on the basis of Fiat Ducato. It is not surprising then that the device dedicated to motorhomes was prepared precisely in order to replace the factory multimedia devices installed in Ducato.

A streamlined front, a dynamic-looking rear with sharply cut lights and an aluminum strip, as well as a gray print on the side wall - all this makes the Knaus Eurostar trailer look very modern (the manufacturer even calls it "3D optics"). You may also like black painted alloy wheels. Eurostar comes in three varieties, each 2.5 meters wide. The 500 EU model was designed with five passengers in mind. The total length of this trailer is 808 cm, but inside it is only 532 cm (the so-called effective length). The internal height is 196 cm. The trailer with its equipment weighs 1,730 kg and its permissible total weight is 2,000 kg.

A bottle like a bottle. Perhaps a bit prettier than the regular one, but to pay PLN 50 for it?. It turns out that it is not only the appearance that distinguishes it! The American manufacturer has created the world's first bottle with a built-in filter that captures chlorine and other organic pollutants contained in water. This means that with such a bottle, we can take water from almost any tap and not worry about its chemical content. The filter works when you drink it to trap contaminants before the water escapes. The filter will clean it of everything that is unnecessary or unhealthy. One filter should be sufficient for 150 liters of water, i.e. for approx. 300 refills of the bottle. After this time, you can change the bottle to a new one or buy a new filter. The bottle is available with filters in six colors.

Kitchen innovations for camping

Nothing is lost. The air conditioning system can be easily purchased and installed in most caravans and motorhomes. Most often, we will pay about 5-6 thousand for an air conditioner. zloty. Owners of "old" caravans will certainly think carefully whether such an expense will pay off for them, but the comfort during hot days seems to be worth a one-time, greater expense. The basic division of air conditioners concerns the place of their installation. We have a choice of roof and floor air conditioners.

Camping with air conditioning

From this year on, passenger cars with caravans were to be exempt from paying the e-toll. However, this did not happen. In Poland, every car with a permissible total weight of more than 3.5 tons and traveling on the toll road network must have a viaBox installed - a toll collection device. Unfortunately, this also applies to vehicle combinations, e.g. a car with a trailer, if the total permissible total weight of such a combination is higher than 3.5 tonnes. When the regulations were introduced, controversy was aroused by the information that this rule should also apply to caravans. Some politicians then spoke of a bug that will be quickly fixed. To the detriment of the fees, they do not apply to caravans in many European countries. This is e.g. in Germany, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Austria. And if so, then the fees in Poland may scare away many tourists who will easily avoid a country so hostile for caravanning enthusiasts on their route.

You cannot go camping without a viaBox

Axess Sonic is, like most other motorhomes, converted into a flat on wheels Fiat Ducato. It's just that you don't see it in this case. The bodywork has been completely overhauled so that the entire car is compact and does not look like a multi-block structure. Besides, its modern, aerodynamic look may just be liked. The base of this motorhome is a Ducato with a 2.0 engine, 115 HP. However, if this is not enough for someone, they can choose from seven different engine versions and various variants of additional equipment. Ordering air conditioning (choice of manual or automatic) or even automatic gearbox will not be a problem.

Axess Sonic - Fully Integrated

Adria Sport is advertised as a motorhome for people who lead an active lifestyle and want an equally active rest. It's just that the same can also be said for any other motorhome. The slightly rounded shape of the exterior is not enough for the Adria Sport to even look like a dynamic car. It is an ordinary Fiat Ducato with a classic caravan. The manufacturer offers in this vehicle everything that a modern motorhome should have, the level of finish is also appropriate, but nothing more. If a plebiscite for the most average motorhome was announced, Adria Sport would have a huge chance of winning.

The world is crazy about caravans, trailers, related gadgets and accessories, even if the last ones are only hairy cushions or curtains in white and red checked ... Trailers are triumphant on the internet. But not the new and futuristic ones. Old caravans have the best streak, becoming a graceful object for alterations and original styling. It turns out to be a good idea to buy an old caravan and "pimp" it in such a way that friends, neighbors and even passers-by rub their eyes with surprise. An old caravan is a great material not only to tinker a bit, but above all an opportunity to present your individual style to the world. So you can have a luxury caravan, dripping with chrome and making a great impression with pink leather, quilted armchairs, or you can arrange it more cozily with home curtains, curtains and pillows. Finally, you can choose a more unusual style and prepare a unique trailer that would, for example, match the Hello Kitty cartoon.

Vintage camping

The Hobby Landhaus caravan differs from the outside from most caravans. It is neither a slightly curved hood on wheels nor a super aero car of the latest generation. However, it is large and angular. And even its roof, protruding beyond the outline of the body, evokes associations with home. Inside, we can also feel like a house, at least a summer house. However, the furnishings do not fit this term - very tasteful furniture in the color of light beige wood interspersed with a brown finish with silver handles are associated rather with a high-class apartment.

Travel with your salon

This trailer can be successfully recommended to demanding travelers. Also for those for whom aesthetics is important. Well-finished pear-colored furniture is complemented by white kitchen furniture fronts and handles in the color of chrome-plated metal. The deep cabinets are equipped with a soft closing mechanism. The folding table is adjustable in height. The whole is complemented by storage compartments, large, small and tiny - every scrap of free space has been thought out from this angle. Even under the hanging cabinets surrounding the entire caravan, there is still space for integrated shelves.

Luxusline - a caravan like a spacious camper

Poznań, March 4, 2013 - The Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles brand will present the concept Transporter e-Co-Motion at this year's Geneva Motor Show. This car combines features that seem to be exclusive: it is compact and manoeuvrable despite the large cargo space, it can carry 800 kg of cargo, and thanks to the electric drive it does not emit harmful substances. "With the ever increasing demand for transport in large cities, electric mobility - especially for light commercial vehicles - could become of paramount importance," explained Dr. Eckhard Scholz, spokesman for the Brand Management Board. “The goods would be delivered to the city gates by rail or large trucks with traditional or hybrid drive. At intermediate stations, the load would be divided into smaller, electric cars, moving within a certain radius from a fixed base, with technical facilities for battery charging and maintenance. " Equipped exclusively with the e-Co-Motion electric drive, it offers many practical features: high maneuverability in a small footprint on the road, very good visibility, ergonomic seats and easy access to and from the luggage compartment, easy loading thanks to the low door edge and large cargo space capacity . The e-Co-Motion concept offers maximum space in a minimal footprint. With a length of only 4.55 m (width: 1.90 m, height: 1.96 m), the cargo space of this studio model is a maximum of 4.6 m3 and a load capacity of 800 kg. Such good values were achieved thanks to the clear division of the body structure into the lower part, necessary for driving, including the drive, battery and transmission located under the floor, and the upper part - intended for the load. Such a division has become the basis for the maximum use of space and the use of various types of buildings, corresponding to the wishes of customers. The customer decides whether it should be a driver's cabin with a built-in load box, a body intended for the transport of people, a low-floor box or a thermal insulation body.

The Italian brand Rimor's catamarano can be combined with two different cars. It can be based on both the Ford Transit and Renault Master models. The bodywork itself, however, is very similar in both vehicles and has been designed so as to allow the whole family to stay overnight in a small space - not necessarily in the most popular variant "two adults with two children". A catamarano is by definition a low-budget vehicle - if you can even say that about a motorhome. However, we will not meet here with a huge amount of space or with luxurious equipment. The manufacturer's goal was to create a popular vehicle that could be afforded not only by a wealthy family.
