Caravanning tourism in Poland is constantly developing, but still remains in a niche. This state of affairs is largely due to the high prices of caravans and motorhomes. A well-equipped trailer costs similar to the value of an average passenger car. In turn, for a new motorhome you have to pay an average of over PLN 100,000. PLN, which remains a barrier for many buyers. Therefore, the market for used vehicles is booming, both at home and abroad.

Caretta caravans are an interesting alternative to the more typical types of caravans. Models of the "teardrops" are the most popular in the United States, while in our country they are a kind of exotic, and even a novelty. It is even more worth looking at the most popular version of the Caretta caravan - the 1500 model. We have already described the Caretta Off Road model, recommended primarily to owners of off-road vehicles. However, we do not have to have an off-road vehicle or SUV to decide on a trailer from the Turkish company Basoglu Caravan . Recall - this company has been producing caravans since 1976 , so we are dealing here with a very experienced company.

Total independence related to traveling in a motorhome is not the cheapest pleasure. The costs of a holiday trip can easily match those incurred in the case of a trip booked in the office. Proponents of caravanning agree, however, that none of the ways of moving can match the freedom of traveling at home on wheels. What expenses do people starting their motorhome adventure have to take into account?. Of course, the costs of renting a motorhome do not apply to those caravanning enthusiasts who decide to buy a new or used vehicle. The full comfort of driving your own vehicle is usually around 20,000-50,000 in the case of used models and from 200,000 in the case of buying a new motorhome. Other fans of free travel can take advantage of the offer of motorhome rental companies. Rental prices vary depending on the season. For example, for renting a Pilote Foxy Van 630J motorhome, we will pay from PLN 340 per night in the low season to PLN 490 in the high season. The daily cost of renting the luxurious Pilote G740GJ Emotion model ranges from PLN 500 to PLN 850. Owners of motorhome rental companies agree - the interest in caravanning is growing, so you should decide to book a motorhome for safety at least a month before the planned trip. This advance notice is especially important in the high season, which lasts from May to the end of September.

The greenest and most picturesque island of the Croatian Kvarner Archipelago is Lošinj, and its largest city is Mali Lošinj, which attracts tourists with beautiful monuments, sandy beaches and the unique landscape of a bay surrounded by islands. In the old days, the island of Lošinj was connected to the neighboring island of Cres to form Apsyrtides , the largest island in the Adriatic Sea. The islands, however, were separated by the Illyrians in 1600 BC. Currently, these islands are connected by an 11-meter swing bridge , located in the village of Osor.

When in 2016 I had the honor of sitting in the Motor Show Awards chapter and presenting the award to Jacek Jaskot (chief designer and constructor of the Globe-Traveler brand) for the Voyager XS motorhome model, I knew this car only from the fair and from conversations with users. Nevertheless, I awarded the award not only because of the high quality and applied solutions, but also for the work that Jacek put into creating a Polish brand, now more and more recognizable and appreciated throughout Europe.

Venice is famous primarily for its unique urban development. In addition, this amazing city is connected by canals with beautiful islands, lying in the area of the Venetian Lagoon. This amazing reservoir is over 80 km long and stretches along the picturesque coast of Veneta. The Venetian Lagoon began to form in the 17th century BC in a swampy environment where the first human settlements appeared. The islands lie in the northeastern part of Italy , between the mainland and the Adriatic Sea. The Venetian Lagoon stretches between two rivers: Sile and Brenta. For millennia, this place was formed by great alpine rivers - Piave, Sile, Brenta and Adige, depositing on the seabed masses of silt and sand brought from the mountains.
