The vast majority of Polish drivers value cars made by German and Japanese manufacturers above all else, considering the rest to be underdeveloped and problematic. For decades , Korean cars were considered the epitome of trash and lack of panache. Nevertheless, recently Hyundai and Kia are catching up very quickly for many years, a perfect example of which is the current offer of each brand. For us, the most interesting in the Hyundai model range is the compact SUV - the IX35 model . The Korean competitor of the Toyota RAV4 has been taking global markets by storm since 2010, finding a huge number of customers. The sophisticated lines of the body are diversified by prominent xenon headlamps as well as daytime and taillights made in LED technology . Designers also tried to incorporate the embossments running along the entire length of the car - the whole drawn in this way, contrary to appearances, looks extremely European.

The most famous caravan brands in Poland come from Germany, but the world does not end with our western neighbors. For example, in the Netherlands, Kip Caravan has been producing trailers for 80 years, which gives unlimited possibilities of personalizing its models. The Kip company was founded in 1934 and, as is often the case in this industry, it all started with one person - in this case Jan Kip - and a caravan built for private use. Later, there were orders for the purchase of trailers, followed by others, and in 1949 it was possible to speak of mass production . However, what is particularly interesting, according to the manufacturer, as much as 70% of the trailers produced so far are still in use!.

When we get to know Cascais better, we will easily discover what it has captivated by the Portuguese royal family. The resort is located right next to the Atlantic Ocean, near Lisbon - on one side it is tucked into the bay, and on the other side it is surrounded by the hills of the Sintra Mountains. Even at the end of the 19th century, Cascais was a typical fishing village, where life flowed lazily, focused on everyday fishing. Today it enjoys the reputation of an elegant holiday resort. Some people even describe it as snobbish, which can be explained by the large number of boutiques of famous designers located on the main promenade. And prices.

The May weekend is behind us, many of us have used campers, caravans and various tourist accessories for the first time this season. It is the quality of the holiday equipment that largely determines whether we will save a few days of vacation to successful ones. It would seem that finding the tourist equipment that meets our requirements will not take much time, what's more - it is a very simple task. Many people believe that it is enough to visit one of the popular supermarkets - additionally spending less on equipment. The problem, however, is that the tents or tourist furniture available in the aforementioned stores are of poor quality - the seams break easily, the material loses color surprisingly quickly, and the plastic elements of the furniture break under a slight load.

In ancient times, the island of Rab was popular with the Romans who built summer residences on it. Nowadays Croatian beauty does not complain about the lack of interest of tourists, especially families with children. According to various sources, the sun's rays illuminate Rab for almost 2,500 hours a year, so you can be sure of a wonderful aura during your vacation. The island is located in Croatia, in the Kvarner Bay. It is well connected with the mainland thanks to frequent ferries and catamarans. Ferries depart from Stinica (the village in front of Jablanac) and go to Mišnjak . The second option is to take the ferry between Rab and Krk (Valbiska - Lopar). The journey to Mišnjak takes place every 1-2 hours and takes about a quarter of an hour, while the second ferry leaves twice a day, reaching the destination in 1.5 hours.

There is no need to remind you about the advantages of caravanning. Independence, mobility - almost no restrictions . Nevertheless, this form of spending free time also has serious disadvantages. It is enough to mention the accompanying costs . Even a few days' rental of a motorhome will cost you a considerable amount of money. The purchase of used or new equipment is even more expensive - and this is just the beginning of the investment. Faced with the high service and maintenance costs that are required to keep a motorhome in good condition, many people are looking for savings . The problem, however, is the way we try to save. We very often decide to buy cheap spare parts of unknown origin and low quality . Equally miserable, even unfavorable results will be obtained if you delay in carrying out maintenance repairs or replacing worn components. Another serious sin for camper owners is carelessness . Instead of systematically taking care of the cleanliness and hygiene of the interior , as well as all systems that require it, they limit themselves to only superficial cleaning . Of course, buying high-quality chemicals intended for this purpose means a large expense - which is better to avoid.

What is not worth saving on when servicing a camper?

The Italian province of Terni delights with the beauty of its waterfalls and streams and the lush green forests. Its heart is the city of the same name, known as the birthplace of Saint Valentine. For some, the first association with the "city of lovers" will probably be Paris, for others Verona. Meanwhile, this is the name of the Italian town in the Umbria region of Terni. The capital of the province bearing the same name was famous, among other things, for the fact that the patron saint of lovers - Saint Valentine - comes from it.

The offer of producers of tourist equipment changes with each subsequent season. Companies introduce more and more interesting models, configurations and equipment options to their price lists. This does not mean, however, that the proposals that have been known for years go by the wayside. When browsing the catalog of one of the most popular German manufacturers - Hobby - the Siesta Alkoven model attracts attention, which is quite a reasonable proposition on the market. Not every caravanner has the same needs and expectations for a motorhome. Some of us are fine with a budget, fully integrated motorhome. Others need something more spacious. From the outside, Hobby Siesta Alkoven looks like any other motorhome of its class - the bodywork based on the Fiat Ducato chassis is enriched with interesting stickers . Powerful rear-view mirrors turn out to be very useful while driving, and the reversing sensors have also found a significant use. When choosing a motorhome with an extensive alcove, we must take into account the huge air resistance it generates, because they translate into diesel fuel consumption . Therefore, it is worth considering ordering one of the more powerful engines from the offer, because it will make driving much more pleasant.

Both those who want to recharge their batteries in nature and those who prefer to sit at a table over a glass of beer and spend time with friends will be satisfied with a trip to Jičín, Czech Republic. Kudowa-Zdrój is less than 75 km away. The days are getting longer, the weather is getting nicer, so we begin to timidly plan the first short trips - even for the weekend. There is no shortage of ideas, especially when we consider places located in beautiful surroundings, and at the same time providing entertainment for lovers of typically urban attractions. The Czech Jicin (Jičín) is a proposition worth considering when planning such a trip. It meets the criteria of a city with a wide range of cultural events and a center in a beautiful location. It is called the gate to the Bohemian Paradise.

When the family has more people than the parents and two children, trips can be problematic. How to organize such a vacation? Where to store your luggage? How to watch over three or four children? Wait a minute ... What if you decide to have a trailer with six berths?. Most popular caravans provide four sleeping places. There are also many options for couples without children - two sleeping places in the caravan allow you to relax without giving up free space. However, no matter how we advertise the advantages of caravans with a small number of beds, we will not convince families with children. A family of five or six is able to forgo many amenities in exchange for additional sleeping places .

Eriba Nova Family - for a large family

For a large group of drivers who are enthusiasts of caravanning, the most important element in a passenger car is safety . Undoubtedly, Volvo is a brand famous for its great concern for passive and active safety . The Swedish manufacturer has been operating under the tutelage of the Chinese owner for several years, which has in no way affected the quality of the cars it produces. The Volvo model range has grown considerably over the past few years, with the XC60 being the most popular model . This compact SUV also remains the most popular car in the premium segment in Poland.
