The huge popularity of caravanning in Western Europe is also becoming more and more popular in Poland. Unfortunately, the only obstacle for many people is the high cost of buying their own equipment . Of course, the easiest way to pursue your caravanning passion is to rent a camper during your vacation. Paying a few hundred - several thousand zlotys, we get a fully operational and ready-to-go vehicle. However, for the masses of caravanning enthusiasts, this option is not an option. The prices of new motorhomes are not low, secondary market vehicles are much more affordable. In the case of campers, it is not worth relying only on the Polish market, a much larger selection - sometimes also better prices - can be found in other countries of the community. Undoubtedly, the most popular destination for camper trips are Germany, France, Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands . Few people consider Great Britain , where the realities are completely different due to the left-hand price movement .

We import a camper from the UK - does it make economic sense?

The appearance of the new Seat Leon ST reveals that new times are coming for C-segment cars. The clear striving for compact solutions and combining the functionality of various body types and fashionable sports design clearly indicates fresh trends in the automotive industry. Estate cars have so far been classified as practical cars, comfortable primarily for families, but not distinguished by aesthetic reasons. The Seat Leon ST changes that view. The body structure and overall design are reminiscent of sports cars. The contoured steering wheel and low-set seats refer to them in the cockpit. The Spanish manufacturer focused on a modern look, which is due to the clean, geometric lines of the body and LED lighting, available in the Style and FR versions. The standard of the Volkswagen concern, to which the Seat brand belongs, is to equip all available power units with direct fuel injection and turbocharging. Customers can choose from gasoline drives with capacities: 1.2 l, 1.4 l and 1.8 l and two variants of diesel engines - 1.6 l and 2.0 l.

Although many people mainly associate it with the former seat of the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order and the capital of the Teutonic Order, Malbork is not only a historic center visited during school trips. Few people know that after World War II there were almost no historic buildings in Malbork's Old Town, because bricks from systematically demolished houses were used to rebuild Warsaw. It can therefore be said ironically that if someone does not have the opportunity or time to go to Malbork, he can visit it in the capital. In addition to its turbulent past, the city has many stories to tell about other, more enjoyable moments and places. Today, it is a dynamically developing cultural and tourist center, where we will spend time with our family having fun.

Carado is, in a sense, Hymer for the people, i.e. a motorhome for customers looking for the best value for money. But the lower price doesn't come out of nowhere. In this case, the manufacturer did not want to save on equipment, so he had to keep the traditional, cheaper design. Carado T 339 is one of the many variants of the semi-integrated motorhome based - of course - on the Fiat Ducato. The distinguishing feature of this version is the length of 699 cm and the double bed in the "king size" size . At a price that in Germany is less than 40 thousand. euro , we can buy quite a large motorhome with a comfortable bed.

Can the vacation of a lifetime be spent only in big and noisy resorts? Not at all. A good example of this are small towns in the vicinity of the Italian Pescara. They confirm that small is beautiful and at the same time has a lot to offer. Abruzzo is not only Pescara, Teramo or Chieti. It is a picturesque part of Italy, attracting tourists both with the number of seaside resorts and winter sports centers. It is a region where olives, vines, potatoes and grains are grown, and from the meadows you can hear cows roaring and sheep bleating. Where anglers like to spend their holidays. Where in the landscape - like a bead in an exquisitely embroidered fabric - this is where a tiny, peaceful village is woven into the landscape, unhurriedly existing among the valleys. Which of them should I write about, which I should devote a few words to? Each one deserves attention, if not stopping during the trip to one of the seaside resorts, then at least slowing down while driving.

Francavilla al Mare, meaning small is beautiful

For some, houses with a soul are only wooden houses. Their interiors are saturated with the scent of boards and resin, they can tell many stories, woven sometimes creaking in the ceiling and log walls. Those who would like to hear their stories, especially the "talkative" houses, will find houses in the open-air museum. Szymbark is located in the Pomeranian Voivodeship, in the heart of the Kashubian Landscape Park. It is located near Kościerzyna, in the most attractive part of Kashubian Switzerland - at the foot of Wieżyca. In the Szymbark forest there is the Center for Education and Promotion of the Region , an open-air museum. Tourists visiting it can not only see the old buildings, but also learn about the culture, traditions and customs of the former inhabitants of the region.

In the segment of partially integrated motorhomes, the flagship proposition in the category up to 3.5 tons of GVM is the Globe4 model. Its successor will make its debut at Caravan Salon 2015. Dethleffs produced the first motorhome in 1983. It was a pioneer in the development of both alcove and semi-integrated camper vans at one time. It is also the first German motorhome manufacturer to use a Fiat Ducato chassis with cabin. Now is the time to improve well-proven residential solutions. Motorhomes with aerodynamically profiled bodies have been enjoying growing popularity for years. They are usually several dozen centimeters lower than those in which an additional bedroom is hidden by a large alcove above the factory roof of the car, which makes the latter unrivaled when it comes to the number of sleeping places. The dilemma of choosing a family "house on wheels" has been simplified due to an interesting innovation. A few years ago, the bed lowered from the roof lining caused a sensation among motorhome users. Today, almost every company has in its production program vehicles in which we create a comfortable bedroom with one hand movement (optional electric drives that raise and lower the bed frame). This solution also determined the popularity of the Globe4 model, which since 2009 has been built in two basic specifications for the interior layout - for two travelers and families of 4. Now the successor of this model will debut.

According to many fuel-conscious drivers, there is no other, more cost-effective source of motive power than a diesel engine . Supporters of self-ignition engines recall the high efficiency of diesel engines, much higher than in gasoline units. An additional advantage of most diesels is low fuel consumption and high power and torque . That is why almost all campers and vans available on the market are equipped with diesel engines. On the other side of the barricade there are supporters of simple gasoline engines . In fact, they do not have a lot of power or torque . Their biggest advantage is their simple structure, which enables a relatively cheap conversion to run on more than twice cheaper LPG . Thanks to the attractive price of gas, LPG is an extremely popular fuel, especially in Poland, Turkey and Italy .
