The main task of the new, electromechanical AL-KO Trailer Control ATC system is to control and improve driving conditions, as a rather heavy set consisting of a car and a caravan or cargo trailer. ATC is fairly simple, yet ingenious, as it constantly monitors the stability of your vehicle, preventing it from shedding or snaking. The system constantly monitors the driving conditions of the trailer on the road. When it detects increasing transverse oscillations of the trailer, it gently brakes the combination you are driving. You may have to deal with quite dangerous situations on the road when the trailer comes into contact with strong wind that causes swaying or wet road surface, when it is not difficult to tilt a massive trailer. You may have to deal with similarly undesirable reactions of the vehicle when passing an obstacle. The automatic anti-skid system ATC registers any undesirable, and at the same time incorrect tilting of the trailer, preventing it from throwing. It starts immediately and gently brakes the guided set - taking care of your and other road users' safety.

There are very few Polish serious motoring events. Undoubtedly, the largest of them is the Motor Show, organized for many years in Poznań, where many world brands present their novelties and products. In addition to a dozen or so interesting Polish premieres, we will also be able to admire the entire hall intended for extraordinary projects, reconstructions - in a word, tuning at the highest level at your fingertips. It is also worth mentioning hall no. 3, which will be occupied by producers (and exhibitors) related to caravanning.

Things will be happening again in Poznań!

A campsite is an ideal place for a holiday with children - games under the supervision of animators, a swimming pool , and often even an aqua park , and plenty of peers to have fun with. No wonder kids love it. “Does anyone know a proven campsite for children 4 and 8 years old? I am interested in some cheap bungalows or houses by the sea , it would be good to have a swimming pool. What are the costs? 2-week stay, can anyone recommend anything?”. “We are going camping for the first time with our children (daughter 4 years old and son 1 year and 3 months old). We will be grateful for any valuable tips.".

Where to vacation abroad? Of course for camping!

Caravanning markets in North America and Europe are very different from each other. Completely different customer expectations and different travel conditions contribute to the shape of the offers of leading manufacturers. In the old continent, campers that provide at least sufficient usable space are the most popular. Basic models, built on the basis of delivery plates, constitute a small part of the total sales. Customers eagerly reach for more extensive integrated motorhomes . We can find such equipment in the catalog of every European manufacturer. For example, the German company Knaus offers us the Van I model . The shapely shape of this motorhome in no place resembles the popular delivery car ( Fiat Ducato ), from which the supporting frame, mechanics and chassis are derived. The large-area windshield attracts attention, as it not only improves visibility while driving - when parked, it perfectly illuminates the interior, making family meetings more enjoyable. Unfortunately - it is positioned almost completely vertically, thus it is exposed to stone impact , which often forces the owner to replace it.

Knaus Van I - more space

Zaanse Schans can be called the Netherlands in a nutshell. We will see there not only the buildings of Dutch communities from the 18th and 19th centuries, but also a chocolate and cheese factory and workshops - still operating, just like windmills and shops.

The motorhome market is full of products tailored to the various expectations and financial possibilities of customers. After all, not every caravanning enthusiast needs a camper with an alcove, full-size bathroom or a separate seating area. For some customers (with lower requirements and a more modest budget), the manufacturers have provided compact motorhomes, built on the basis of classic vans. One of the models available on the market is the Westfalia Columbus . For most of us , the German manufacturer is mostly known for a truly tourist variation on the Volkswagen Transporter , created for active tourism. As it turns out - the brand's portfolio is much wider. Columbus, like most motorhomes similar to it, was built with the use of Fiat Ducato . From the outside of a small motorhome, it is distinguished from a standard delivery vehicle by unique stickers, vents, numerous tinted and tilt side windows , as well as a retractable step .

Westfalia Columbus - a smart choice

We are pleased to inform you that on March 16, 2015, at the headquarters of the District Board of the Polish Motor Association in Katowice, a mutual cooperation agreement was signed between the Main Caravanning Commission and the CampRest portal.

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.

How to prepare a motorhome and yourself for a trip to secluded areas

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.

A camping holiday without your own trailer

Undoubtedly, one of the best ways to get acquainted with the current offer of caravanning equipment and camping manufacturers - in Poland and not only - are trade fairs. Every year, right after the world-famous motor show in Geneva, their Polish counterpart is held - the Motor Show in Poznań. The native event begins on April 9 with a press day, and on the following days, 10-12.04, the exhibition halls are made available to a wider audience. Among the hundreds of exhibitors, the part occupied by caravanning companies - including the Camprest.com stand - deserves special attention.

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. "Knife in the Water" is a film made in the 1960s, which today belongs to the canon of Polish cinema. 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. It cannot be otherwise, since the great mute comedy star lived here.
