Every year, caravanning is becoming more and more popular, also in Poland. More and more people are buying branded tourist equipment for long vacation trips. Most of us choose travel destinations known for years in the west, and especially in the south of Europe. Many amateurs of caravanning have already got bored of enjoying the charms of the azure coast, Croatian pebble beaches and other attractions. Hungry for stronger impressions and new, unknown territories, they decide to visit Eastern Europe and the outskirts of Asia.

Gone are the days when camping was associated with a tent set up far from civilization and the proverbial dream on pine cones. With a place where you could not count on comfort, but only queues for toilets and the conditions prevailing in them. Modern campsites are often villages of many hectares with full facilities - not only accommodation, but also catering and sanitary facilities, and a rich offer of entertainment. The largest and most famous ones are located right next to the main attractions of the resort, thanks to which they provide guests with quick and easy access to them.

Vevey is a pretty town on the shores of Lake Geneva, the largest lake in Western Europe. Its location among the picturesque scenery of alpine peaks is due to the fact that tourists from all over the continent eagerly visit them.

The fork in the water, on the other hand, is an original sculpture, surprising tourists visiting Swiss Vevey. The subject of cinematography has been associated with a characteristic point of the city for a reason, because Vevey is famous for its film festival - comedy, not drama.

A few months before the start of the season, many caravanning enthusiasts face a dilemma: buy a powerful motorhome like Knaus Sky and Plus (investing over 60-70 thousand euros), which will meet our requirements (more beds), or decide on a different solution. Every year, more and more people choose a smaller motorhome, which can easily pull a caravan or a tow truck with a small car. By choosing a small camper - Knaus Sky Wave - and a basic Knaus Sport caravan (as a set) we will save not only a large part of the budget. We will also gain much more usable space and a large number of possible configurations of our holiday "camp". The aforementioned size of the camper will easily cope with towing a trailer , as well as taking equipment and the entire crew on board. What's more - if we don't need more accommodation for the time being, we can successfully go on a trip with a camper alone .

The streets of Granada are narrow, the houses are close together, which makes it easy to get lost. It is not without reason that the name of the city refers to the pomegranate - a fruit in which the seeds form a tight collection, huddled together like a close-knit family. Granada's main street is crowded and noisy. It does not differ much from other large streets in other cities in Spain or other countries - it is full of fast food bars and designer boutiques. However, it is enough to enter the tangle of side streets to discover the charm of this place. They create an atmospheric labyrinth in which the eye comes across beautiful tenement houses and charming squares.

The fashion for mobile homes has been growing continuously for several decades both in Western Europe and in Poland. Caravanning enthusiasts have at their disposal a huge market offer that suits practically everyone. Many people reach for integrated or semi-integrated campers, providing more than enough space for four or six people. Nevertheless - during the vacation trip, we will successfully "fit" into a much smaller - more mobile - vehicle built on a small delivery vehicle. One of the most interesting products of modest size is the Westfalia Club Joker . The history of the model dates back to the 1970s , when the Volkswagen Transporter , adapted to small tourism, with just such a name, appeared. The current version is based on the latest incarnation of the popular Transporter.

It has been known for a long time that the implementation of caravanning passion is also associated with other issues than charming trips around the country or Europe. Before we set out to achieve our goal, many decisions await us, which will have a significant impact on the entire life of the equipment. Regardless of whether we are going to buy a brand new motorhome or a second-hand motorhome, we must seriously consider at least one issue. Choosing a drive unit should be one of the most important things for us before making a purchase. An improperly selected engine can be a source of many unforeseen difficulties , discomfort, as well as unnecessary operating expenses . To avoid the aforementioned unpleasantness, we should be aware of our needs and expectations regarding new equipment. Our travel plans for the coming seasons are of great importance. When planning only trips to lowland regions with four or five people on board, we can successfully stop at the basic engine versions. 1.9-2.3 l diesel constructions generate about 120 KM , which turns out to be quite enough value for a small camper . Crossing the lowlands will not cause any problems. What's more - we will be able to enjoy the low consumption of diesel fuel .
