The risk of staying overnight in a motorhome or caravan is particularly high if we decide to use an unguarded place. In this way, we endanger not only our property, but also our health and, in extreme cases, our lives. A number of anti-burglary security measures and caution will help to minimize the risk of organizing night stops in dangerous areas, to say the least. The basic division of security systems is to distinguish them into mechanical and electronic security. Mechanical security is the basic type of device that protects the trailer against falling into the wrong hands. Anti-theft locks and wedges are popularly used, which prevent the trailer from moving freely. Companies specializing in the production of this type of equipment include LAS, Venus and AL-KO. The cost of buying a blockade does not exceed PLN 200 and in a large number of cases discourages the thief from committing theft. However, it is not a reliable system, besides, it is necessary to dismantle the set frequently and then reinstall it.

A toilet in a camper or caravan is now a standard that you could only dream about in the past. It is a certain luxury that distinguishes this type of vehicle from other recreational vehicles. Undoubtedly, having a toilet in the car is highly appreciated and contributes to the high comfort of traveling. What types of toilets are there in a recreational vehicle? A vacuum toilet is a novelty on the market. Dometic specializes in its production. This device uses vacuum cleaning of the shells with grinding the impurities, even before they reach the faeces tank. An additional advantage increasing the comfort of use is the ability to adjust the height of the shell. Another advantage of this type of toilet is the fact that you do not need to use chemicals to eliminate unpleasant odors. The toilet is powered by 12 V. In most cases, however, toilets are used that need chemicals, hence the name - chemical toilets, but beware, chemistry cannot be used in every model. These are mainly types of toilets that do not have their own separate flushing water tank. Chemical toilets are devices made of two parts separated by a latch. We are talking about the lower part, in which impurities accumulate, and the upper part, which is a shell with a lid and often a water tank for flushing such a toilet.

Adventure, a sense of freedom and independence, this is what attracts caravanners. Trips to remote, preferably uninhabited places are usually the destination of such vacation trips in a motorhome. However, when traveling in such a vehicle, we are not always self-sufficient and sometimes it is extremely difficult to obtain the independence so desired in this case. What are we talking about? First of all, that when we go to places completely remote from civilization, we are deprived of a power source, which could make the vacation not too successful. We then wonder if the battery of our vehicle will meet the demand for electricity needed to operate the electrical devices on the board of our motorhome or caravan. A good and properly selected battery is the basis for a safe and long journey. The comfort of our travel depends primarily on him.

A typical motorhome has a high and wide superstructure, which distinguishes it from "ordinary" vans and delivery vans. This is not the case with Hymera Car, however. From the outside, the car does not differ much from the usual Fiat Ducato Maxi Van. It is 599 cm long, 208 cm wide and 255 cm high. The manufacturer, wanting to create a camping car on such a basis, had to face a real problem to accommodate all the necessary furniture and equipment in a relatively small area. Indeed, in this model, every inch of space has been used. The effect is that although the vehicle is quite cramped, it still contains everything that is necessary for distant and relatively comfortable journeys.
