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.

A motorhome for a large family

Aerodynamic, modern shape, high-class furniture and additional solutions improving functionality - these are certainly important advantages of the Astella Glam Edition caravan by Adria. But the most important thing is its luxurious style and splendor evoking associations with a yacht, by no means the cheapest one. How about a TV set hidden in the table top, which only gently slides out of it when needed? How about a spacious bathroom with a separate, glass shower enclosure? Or maybe you are interested in a microwave oven, cleverly hidden behind a door integrated with the refrigerator?.

Astella - a trailer in a glamor style

Carado Delight series trailers can be considered the German equivalent of the Polish Niewiadow - their advantage is certainly neither the design nor the equipment. However, they win with the competition in terms of price. Carado's Delight models are offered in Germany from 9,200 euros. Such a price for a new caravan seems to be a really bargain, even if we compare it with the cost of purchasing another model of the same brand - Carado Caravans already cost at least PLN 14,000. euro. For this price, we cannot count on "cool" equipment, but this trailer can be an alternative for those who are thinking between buying a new and used trailer.

How big does a motorhome have to be so that it is not cramped? According to Mario Marchi, owner and designer at Marchio Mobile, such a vehicle should be 12 meters long and 4 meters high. Its weight, due to the large amount of electronics and precious materials, is approx. 20 tons. Although the futuristic shapes give the impression that the vehicle was created very recently, the base of the car is the Colani model - a concept truck tractor presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in ... 1977! It must be admitted that this vehicle has not aged at all - it still looks more than modern.

EleMMent - there are no compromises

Globetrotter XL is one of the largest models released by Dethleffs - an experienced manufacturer of caravans and motorhomes. Size XL obliges, which is why the largest vehicle in this series is 862 cm long (the smallest 792 cm). The width of each XL model is 233 cm. The car is not tall - it measures 293 cm. Both the front and other walls of the vehicle have been completely redesigned, so even a trained eye will not notice that the car was based on the Fiat Ducato structure. To find out, you have to look inside the driver's cockpit or under the hood.

Light and practical like a tent, comfortable like a motorhome - on such assumptions the unusual Cricket caravan (that is, literally translating Świerszcz) was based. It all started in 1972. It was then that Carrett Finney, a little boy from Philadelphia, wrote in a letter to St. Nicholas that he would like to receive a boat for Christmas. Unfortunately, his wish did not come true. Even so, Carrett did not stop dreaming. His fascination with small rooms, in which one could live, led him to ... NASA. It was there in 1999 that Finney became one of the designers responsible for "interior design" in spacecraft. The constructors' goal was to design the most functional living space in the smallest possible room.

The whole concept can be considered both extremely innovative and bizarre. The trailer is not large and at first glance does not reveal its capabilities, but it will certainly find its amateurs.

Or maybe ... a bicycle with a caravan?

The APE 50 model, branded by the Italian scooter manufacturer Piaggio, is a small tricycle with a small motor. Although it looks like a miniature truck, it doesn't even have a typical steering wheel, but one that seems appropriate for bicycles. The two-stroke engine with a capacity of 50 cc in many countries allows you to drive such a vehicle even without a driving license. Perhaps this is the reason why the APE 50 is so popular, for example, in Asia. It can carry more goods than a bicycle, is much more comfortable than a bicycle and provides a roof over your head. But to base the campervan design on such a structure?.

A camping vision not only for singles

Over the years, the Bedouins have grown significantly, and their equipment has been expanded and modernized. However, they were always a little bigger and better equipped than the basic models. It was the good reputation that they enjoyed that prevented the manufacturer from replacing the name Bedouin with any other to this day. The Bedouin family currently has as many as 13 models in various sizes and different interior design. Their prices range from EUR 18,999 for the 450 FL model (649 cm long, 3 beds) to EUR 29,499 for the 740 RFK model (942 cm, 6 beds). As you can see, both in terms of prices and sizes, the gap between individual Bedouins is huge.

Bedouin family from Germany

Niewiadów SA is not only a Polish trailer manufacturer. Recently, he is also a manufacturer of Romer motorhomes. Let's see if they can be a serious alternative to camping vehicles from Western manufacturers. It cannot be denied that the greatest advantage of Romer is its… price. 200 thousand PLN for a motorhome built on the Fiat Ducato Maxi platform, equipped with a 3-liter engine with 160 hp is relatively little. Especially if we look at the rich equipment. Niewiadów can also boast an extensive service network - about 30 authorized points in Poland will help keep the motorhome in good condition.

Polish motorhome with rich equipment

Sterckeman offers three models of trailers in 25 basic configurations. Interestingly, the largest selection will be in the case of the simple and light Starlett model (13 varieties), the more expensive Alize model comes in 9 varieties, and the most luxurious Espace model only in three. Don't let the name fool you - Sterkeman is a French company with a 60-year tradition. It has its sales points all over Western Europe. In Poland, this brand does not have an authorized dealer yet, which is a pity, because its offer is worth attention.

Sterckeman - one brand, three classes

The T5 family of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is made up of many different versions equipped with powerful and fuel-efficient common rail diesel engines. The optional BlueMotion Technology package, which includes the Start-Stop system, brake energy recovery (recuperation), rolling resistance-optimized tires and cruise control, reduces the fuel consumption of TDI engines by 0.5 liters per 100 km. The T5 series offer has been extended with the BMT package for the 2.0 TDI unit with 180 HP. The changes in the engine offer also apply to the Volkswagen Amarok, which has received a new base unit. The previous 90kW (122hp) engine has been replaced by a 103kW (140hp) unit, which provides improved performance while maintaining the same fuel consumption.
