When a car is driven with a heavy load, often bordering on the maximum allowed by a given manufacturer, the suspension must meet special challenges. Taking this into account, well-known manufacturers such as Goldschmitt, Drive Rite, or VB offer exceptionally strong air suspensions, which are intended especially for campers and special vehicles (including ambulances and fire brigade vehicles). The range of vehicles that have to move under heavy loads is - contrary to appearances - not small. The problem applies not only to tourist vehicles, but also to mobile shops and offices, tankers, and technical support vehicles. Such cars often work in various conditions - for example, one day they have to cover a very long distance at a relatively high speed, on another day they travel on holes, potholes or even dirt roads. With such vehicles in mind, Elcamp from Krakow installs high-class air suspensions.

The central part of the country, where Tuscany is located, is considered one of the most beautiful regions of Italy. Characteristic for this region are green, beautiful hills famous for vineyards and olive groves. It is in the Tuscan sun that the best grapes and olives ripen, the taste and aroma of which can be found in the local fine wines and excellent oils known all over the world. Tuscany is one of the oldest wine regions in the world. The Etruscans developed agriculture and viticulture in these areas. Then the local land was adapted by the Greeks who came here with their own seedlings. These areas were also under the rule of the Romans, who built a network of roads enabling trade with other regions and countries.

Oil and wine - the essence of Tuscany

The southwestern part of Italian Tuscany is occupied by the Maremma coastal plain. Its originally swampy area, stretching from the Tyrrhenian Sea to the Montalcino hills, was transformed into an agricultural region as a result of drainage works carried out in the 20th century.

The Maremma region is a charming and diverse landscape, with a 130-kilometer coastline with beaches, pine forests, stone shores and numerous coves that serve as tourist marinas .

We present the advantages and disadvantages as well as the costs of the available solutions. The group of motorhome enthusiasts is growing every year. No wonder - traveling at home on wheels is associated with freedom and tranquility, which we are increasingly looking for in a busy life. A good solution for beginner caravanners and for people who plan single trips in the season may be renting a motorhome in the rental shop. On the one hand, it will allow us to test ourselves in a new situation and make a decision to continue traveling with a motorhome in the future. On the other hand, it will help to avoid difficulties related to wintering the car, its servicing or third party liability insurance. The advantage of renting a motorhome is the relatively low price, especially compared to buying your own car, even a used one. However, it should be taken into account that rental costs vary depending on the season. For example, for renting a 4-person Bavaria I740G Allure or Pilote G740GJ Emotion at a CarGO rental! in the low season we will pay PLN 500. High, that is from May to the end of September - PLN 850 per night.
