Most of us associate caravanning with summer vacation trips to warm corners of Europe. However, we do not have to give up the sense of freedom and independence that traveling in camping cars gives us when the weather is unfavorable. On the contrary - in regions such as Austria, Italy and France, as temperatures drop, camping sites and specially prepared parking lots at ski slopes, chosen by winter caravanning enthusiasts, fill up. However, to enjoy the benefits of traveling in a camper, you need to properly prepare it for winter conditions. We tell you what to remember when going on a winter trip in a camper!

Winter caravanning - what to remember, how to prepare?

The waters of the Baltic Sea cover numerous islands - both large and tiny, also uninhabited. Ignoring man-made boundaries, the waves blissfully break off the shores of different countries. Several of these islands belong to Denmark, and you can say something interesting about each of them. It is worth remembering that this beautiful country of all islands has over 440. When planning a vacation in Denmark in terms of active recreation, it is worth considering a trip to the Danish islands. However, it does not necessarily have to be Amager or Zealand, where Copenhagen is located. Nor does it have to be Bornholm, where you can visit sights, windsurf, ride horses, rock climbing, and admire butterflies in the large tropical butterfly park greenhouse on the outskirts of Nexø. An ideal place for a vacation can be, for example, the third largest Danish island, Lolland , connected by a motorway tunnel and bridges to another - Falster . Both attract golfers. They tempt with six beautifully situated courses, moreover, one, 18-hole course, also has the neighboring island, Møn. The main attraction of the latter, however, is not the golf course, but the limestone cliff, Møns Klint, which along with the other cliff, Stevns Klint (Zealand), is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Those for whom a vacation without exploring the traces of the past is not a vacation, will be satisfied with a stay in this part of Denmark - a lot of sightseeing awaits them, including a walk around Halskov Vænge on Falster Island, a unique opportunity to see the oldest and at the same time the best preserved chamber graves in Denmark.

We have written more than once about modular equipment for camping vehicles. However, in the case of the Happier Camper trailer, modularity takes on a completely new meaning. In this case, we can actually build the interior with ready-made "blocks". From the outside, HC1 looks like a perfectly restored trailer from several decades ago. You have to look closely to notice that retro style has been combined here with modernity. The fact that we are not dealing with an old trailer is evidenced by large, openable, multi-part windows , wide side doors, or a large, telescopically raised rear hatch.

The Mobilvetta brand is little known with us, and when we hear about it, it is usually related to the most luxurious, fully integrated models, such as the K-Yacht . Although they are the best showcase of the brand, it is worth noting that Italians also offer semi-integrated campers - both with alcoves and with a low roof. Mobilvetta motorhomes belong to this group of vehicles, for which the appearance is a very big advantage. Already on the outside, attention is drawn to carefully crafted details , and after a short visit inside, a good first impression has a chance to turn into a perfect one.

Salzburger Land is a land situated between East Tyrol, Carinthia, Styria and Upper Austria, named after its salt deposits. Its landscapes consist mainly of mountain peaks, caves, forests, gorges and waterfalls as well as beautiful, crystal clear mountain lakes. Thousands of tourists visit the Salzburger Land (Salzburger Land) at any time of the year. In winter, skiers besiege the routes of Europa Sportregion and other resorts, and in spring and summer, until late autumn, the routes are filled with crowds of visitors. They come to the Land with their whole families to travel through it on foot and by bike. No wonder - it is beautiful and rich in attractions, it is tempting. It is especially liked by lovers of two wheels, on which kilometers of routes await, including the wonderful route in the footsteps of Mozart, stretching 450 km from Salzburg, where the famous composer lived, to Zell am See, which attracts vacationers with the surface of the lake.

Customers expect something special from top manufacturers of motorhomes and caravans. Bürstner clearly felt the pressure and decided to show that he can anticipate and respond to upcoming trends . It is a pity that the Harmony model is a concept model, so it is not possible to buy this motorhome at the moment. Some sources claim that the launch of the Harmony model - premiered at the September fair in Düsseldorf - depends on customer feedback. If the motorhome is met with great interest, it will go into production. Other sources suggest, in turn, that in this form the vehicle will not be available for purchase, but the elements used in it can be used in new Bürstner models.

The Pays de la Loire is a region in western France made up of five departments: Loire Atlantic, Maine-et-Loire, Mayenne, Sarthe and the Vendee. Among the attractions that await tourists there are magnificent castles, monasteries, small villages and a beautiful coast divided into dozens of picturesque beaches. When you add excellent regional cuisine and wine from countless vineyards to this, we get a recipe for the holiday of a lifetime. The capital of the Loire-Atlantic department is Nantes . It is situated on the river, 50 km from the Atlantic Ocean. Although it is the sixth most populous center in France, we will not encounter crowds or noise there. In the past, Nantes was closely associated with the sea. Unfortunately, not always for glorious reasons - until the 19th century it was one of the largest European ports sending ships full of slaves from Africa to America. You can explore the topic by visiting the Memorial for the Abolition of Slavery. Even though two centuries ago the city was an important industrial center, it has not lost its charm. In 2013, it was awarded the title of the Green Capital of Europe .

Weinsberg is one of the many brands in the portfolio of the Knaus Tabbert group. The customers' interest in motorhomes and caravans of this brand is primarily influenced by the favorable - compared to competitors - prices of these vehicles. To simplify things, Weinsberg has a bit of a relationship with Knaus as Skoda is with Volkswagen. The brands belonging to the same concern have access to the same technical knowledge, but are intended for completely different customers. In order not to be groundless, let's take a look at the prices.

West Balaton is an attractive region for tourists, thanks to not only (but mainly) the beautiful lake, which is the largest water reservoir in Central Europe. Mud Lake, as it is called Balaton, each year attracts crowds of holidaymakers who want to enjoy all the attractions that are associated with a stay by the water. For Poles living in the south of the country, it is closer to the "Hungarian sea" than to ours, the Baltic Sea. At the same time, Lake Balaton is relatively close to the border with Croatia and Slovenia, so it is easy to get the impression that we are almost in the south of Europe. A little more and we will be welcomed by the Mediterranean Sea.

Birds and people love Lake Balaton!

LMC - a German manufacturer of motorhomes and caravans, decided to surprise its customers for the new season, and at the same time cause a little stress on its numerous competitors. In 2017, the popular Breezer Lift model will be offered fully equipped as standard. How do you get your customers' attention when the competition is so fierce? LMC has more and more strong arguments. The basic one is the fact that currently all caravans and campers of this brand are marked with the Long Life Technology symbol. Behind this name is a modern, although more and more commonly used construction, from which wooden elements have been eliminated and laminates were used, including GRP . On the other hand, polystyrene was replaced with polystyrene foam ( XPS ). As a result, we get a vehicle with good insulation, and at the same time resistant to moisture and hail.
