From the first day of their arrival, huge queues formed for photos and direct conversations. There was also an opportunity to discuss with vanlifers on the Main Stage, where meetings with individual creators and very interesting debates took place. Certainly, anyone planning to start their adventure with this type of traveling could seek the opinion of active travelers. Pavilion 4 is also a Retro zone with as many as 30 vehicles. Among the vehicles, there were many gems from years ago, thanks to which it was possible to learn how caravanning has changed over the years. Traditionally, the zone was organized by the Camper Majstry Group.

For the third time, the Caravans Salon fair was accompanied by the Przystanek_targi caravanning rally.

Camping grounds are an extremely important element of camping in campers and trailers.
