How much do you have to pay for a new motorhome? Everyone who starts to be interested in caravanning asks a similar question at some point. The differences in the prices of motorhomes of different brands are huge, but it is worth being aware that there is more to the higher price than "just" the brand and the manufacturer's reputation. I've been planning an article on this subject for a long time, but finally I was inspired to write it by a visit to the Caravan Salon 2017 in Düsseldorf . There, I could directly compare both the prices of the vehicles on display next to each other, as well as assess their "organoleptically" quality.

Caravan Salon 2017 is behind us - the fair in Düsseldorf, during which you could see almost the entire caravanning offer available on the German market. Although the number of motorhomes and accessories could make you dizzy, we managed to pick out a few trends that combined the proposals of various exhibitors. A year or two ago, while browsing catalogs and manufacturers' websites, you could notice a retreat from camper vans with an alcove. But vehicles that have an added recess for a mattress above the driver's cab are now making a comeback again, with the alcove itself changing its shape . Its front can be rounded, flattened, finely trimmed, which makes the alcove itself a distinguishing feature or even a decoration for a vehicle of a given brand.

In northern Italy, Lago di Garda is the country's largest lake. At the same time, it boasts the highest level of cleanliness - in this respect, no other Italian tank can match it. Thanks to its location in the picturesque and sunny mountains and the color of the water, reminiscent of the Adriatic Sea, it also wins beauty contests. Another of the many advantages of the region is the kindness and hospitality of local residents. The icing on the cake is a very friendly atmosphere, providing ideal conditions for holiday tourism. No wonder that, with so many advantages, no other Italian lake can compete with Lake Garda.

Campania is a south-west region of Italy, the capital of which is Naples, a city loved by some and underestimated by others. The panorama of this part of Italy is completed by the Tyrrhenian Sea, the majestic volcano Vesuvius and the Apennines. The campaign is eagerly visited by tourists hungry for sun, lovers of unusual monuments and gourmets looking for real pizza, mozzarella and grappa. The most interesting places in the region are Naples, Salerno and the beautiful islands. The campaign is famous for its unique flavors of regional cuisine . This is where we will find the unique aroma of real Neapolitan pizza and spaghetti, exquisite buffalo milk cheeses, ice cream with coffee and citrus, wine and grappa.

Last year, the biggest novelty of the Knaus brand was the Travelino caravan. This year, during the fair in Dusseldorf, the almost completely new Deseo caravan will be shown. From 2018, it will use its older brother's design solutions. It is hard to deny that the current version of Deseo is innovative. The uniqueness of this caravan was expressed both in the modern design, exceptionally angular form and functionality. It was one of the few tourist vehicles on the market, prepared both for the transport of goods and for temporary accommodation . These last features are the basic distinguishing feature of Deseo - also in the 2018 version.

Even if you are one of those who love the sun, there are surely times when there is too much happiness. When you feel that you are slowly turning into a crisp straight from the oven, the awning and the shading panel attached to it can help. It is in the production of the latter that a new Polish brand specializes in - HappySun.pl. A modern awning for a motorhome or caravan is usually a fabric canopy pulled out of the cassette, which allows you to create a barrier between the red-hot sky and our heads. Below, we can place chairs, a table and rest in the shade ...

Shading panels will protect against the sun

It has been known for a long time that the Silesian Voivodeship is not only mines and gray-tinted landscapes, yet common opinions still make the region uninteresting in terms of tourism. And wrongly - it may not have as many attractive places as, for example, Masuria or the Sudetes, but it is enough to spend even a few days in it to find out that it has its charm. What can we see interesting in Silesia? There are quite a few old towns in the province that are worth visiting. The historic part can be proud of, among others Częstochowa, Cieszyn, Pszczyna and Gliwice, as well as Rybnik, Żory and Bielsko-Biała. Those who like castles should visit Lubliniec, Będzin, Olsztyn near Częstochowa or Podzamcze near Ogrodzieniec. Supporters of sacred tourism will surely visit the Jasna Góra Monastery, but during a trip around Silesia , they can also visit the basilicas in Pszów and Piekary Śląskie or the sanctuary in Turza Śląska. People who love history and culture can follow the Wooden Architecture Trail , including over 90 historic buildings, ranging from chapels, through forester's lodges and taverns, to bell towers. While in Gliwice, tourists often direct their steps to the Piast Castle, as well as to ul. Tarnogórska, where there is a wooden broadcasting tower entered on the list of Historical Monuments - the Gliwice radio station . It is the tallest existing wooden structure in Europe and the tallest wooden broadcasting tower in the world (111 m).

Attractions of Silesia

Mountain enduro paths, forest trails, night city, camping. We checked, and in literally all conditions, how the new Fenix model BC21R works. I got the flashlight for testing on Wednesday - it was a good thing, because Wednesday is our "statutory" day for night enduro driving. The crew had an appointment, so I only confirmed my presence. Immediately, I thought - I will not have time to do the test while driving the enduro, because I will not have time to recharge the battery! It turned out that I was on time - full charging took only 2.5 hours , which is much shorter than in the heavy flashlights we use every day. This is the first big plus.

Based on your sentiments, you can create a pretty good business. Americans know this and very often use their passion to create something new, but aimed at people who want to feel the atmosphere of the old days. In the case of Relic trailers, the abandoned vision was combined with a fresh approach to the subject. The Relic trailer is a bit like a cross between a road cruiser and a boat or maybe a space capsule. The vehicle looks phenomenal and if it appeared, for example, in Hel, it would immediately become a sensation among tourists, and in the cucumber season it would probably be on the front pages of local newspapers. But even in the USA, where everything has already been seen, such a vehicle must arouse keen interest - especially since it is available in subdued colors.
