Caravanning has never been the cheapest form of spending free time on vacation, nevertheless, for many of us, complete independence and unlimited freedom is worth any price. Regardless of whether we buy a brand new camper, a trailer or equipment from the secondary market - sooner or later we may experience a failure of the interior equipment. Unfortunately - very often a damaged refrigerator, air conditioner or other devices are not worth repairing in any way. As reality shows, the costs of possible resuscitation may exceed the price of the new equipment - with the warranty, of course.

Where does Pippi Longstocking, the strongest girl in the world, live? Where is the chair a few meters high? Where do the Bullerby kids play? All the answers can be found in Astrid Lindgren's World, in Vimmerby.

For caravanning enthusiasts, only cars with practical bodies are important. Sedans, small hatchbacks or coupes do not exist. SUVs and station wagons , which have been popular recently, are different. Especially mid-range estate cars show more than sufficient suitability and functionality. In addition to the VW Passat and similar designs, the Citroen C5 deserves our attention - its several advantages are not available to anyone else in the D segment. Despite several years on the market ( it has been available since 2008 ), the C5 still counts in the fight for the client. The conservative silhouette enriched with the latest technology can still be enjoyed. Subtle and balanced accessories create an aesthetic whole, almost elegant.

Croatia offers many vacation spots along the jagged coast, one of which is Premantura, in the south of Istria. Lovers of nature and peaceful sunbathing love it. It tempts with the amazing color of the water and the charm of rocky coves.

What if you could spend a picnic wandering along the river valley? Walk for hours among gentle hills and murmuring streams, climbing to the next viewpoints? Why not run away from the busy reality straight to the landscape park?

May weekend on the Czarna Hańcza trail

Although it is still cold outside and the sun is only shyly sticking out the nose from behind the clouds, thirsty for camper experiences and encouraged by nice weather, we went for our first weekend with a camper this season. Of course, as usual on the day of departure, the so far beautiful weather had turned bad, but what could be done - we took warmer clothes, stocked ourselves up with water for tea and left Kalisz right after work. Right behind Odolanów, in the small town of Sośnie, there is a unique Moja Wola manor house. Currently falling into disrepair, it is an extraordinary architectural structure whose façade is covered with ... bark. It looks worse and worse every year, so it's worth seeing it before it completely falls apart. We parked at the renovated Stanica Harcerska and then, through a beautifully wooded park, we reached the manor house. The facility is closed (which is a pity, because the inside is also nice), but it is accessible to visitors from the outside.

A few months ago, we wrote about the great importance of the automotive fair, especially for people who are currently looking for a motorhome, caravan or all kinds of caravanning / tourist equipment . Even long hours of comparing the offers of individual companies on the Internet will not bring a similar result to the visual assessment of each of the models we are interested in. The choice of the perfect equipment for us could be helped by a visit to the Motor Show in Poznań - where it was possible to check, configure and finally order a specific model in a few hours. We could also buy or at least choose the right accessories in the caravanning hall (furniture, dishes and many more).

Száraz or édes? Fehér or vörös? Dry, sweet, white or red? The Valley of the Beautiful Lady invites for a picnic not only lovers of Bacchus drink - everyone is welcome in this picturesque corner in the north of Hungary.

Every year, hundreds of caravanning enthusiasts face a difficult choice between a camper and a caravan. When deciding to tow our mobile holiday home, we can take advantage of the offer of the German manufacturer. The Hobby company has been systematically developing its model line for several decades. In the manufacturer's catalog from across the Oder river, the Premium model is quite interesting, as, according to many users, it also meets all the expectations of a family of four. At first glance, Hobby Premium stands out from other competing caravans. Modern design combined with sophisticated attention to detail make up an interesting whole. The white body is diversified with oblong, tinted windows and stickers. The rear lights are made in LED technology, which only makes the appearance of the trailer more attractive. Designers also took care of the aesthetics of the front part - instead of in a separate box, gas cylinders are installed in a lockable compartment.

The BusEkipa crew are three students from Radom. Anna Białek, Maciej Piechociński and Jakub Pięta were connected not only by the city they come from, but also - or perhaps most of all - by a passion for travel. Last year, our heroes traveled by bus to 9 countries of Western Europe. Despite the student budget and many difficult moments, they remember the month-long trip as the best vacation of their lives. Their shared experiences became a great motivation for them to continue - in 2015 BusEkipa sets out to conquer the Balkans.

The May weekend in 2015 is not very long, which does not mean that we have to spend it at home. At a distance of about 245 km from Cieszyn, there is the charming Czech city of Břeclav, which is worth visiting at that time. Brzecław is a great place for a picnic - sounds like an advertisement? A visit to it is an excellent idea, if only because it is called the gate to the Lednice-Valtice area, entered on the UNESCO list. During the trip, you can get acquainted with the cultural landscape abounding in unique places. They are not simply relics of the past, but architectural gems. The area is so attractive that it fully deserves a separate story.

From the caravanner's point of view, passenger cars from classic segments do not look too appealing. Even a compact or medium-class estate car will not meet the holiday expectations of many of us. What's more - the purchase of each of them is associated with spending about PLN 100,000 . By investing half of this amount, we can take advantage of the wide offer of another segment. The kombivan market has been growing steadily for over a decade, along with the Fiat Doblo, VW Caddy, Renault Kangoo and Peugeot Partner , customers are also attracted by their much cheaper replacement. Dacia Dokker (produced since 2012), like other models of the Romanian brand, conquers the market with the help of a very attractive price and proven Renault technology . It is worth adding that Dokker, like Lodgy, use the Renault Kangoo platform .
