Are you going on a journey with a trailer, but you don't have much experience driving a set of vehicles? Read on to what you should pay attention to!. Regardless of whether you intend to tow a caravan or a cargo car with your passenger car, the rules will be the same. First of all, you should check whether the given trailer model can be connected to the car. And it is not only about technical issues such as the presence of a tow bar , but also about legal compliance. In Poland, there are regulations according to which, if a car + trailer combination exceeds the permissible total weight of 3.5 tons, it is treated as a truck, so it must have ViaToll - a device that calculates and collects tolls for driving on Polish roads. It is worth knowing that ViaToll is valid not only on motorways and expressways, but also on many sections of national routes. The full list can be found here: http://www.viatoll.pl/pl/pojazdy-ciezkie/siec-drog .

First time with a trailer

Bogatynia is a typical example of places in the style of "you praise others, you do not know your own, you do not know what you have". The picturesque town is famous for its natural resources, Carbonalia and the festival of lies. The atmospheric wooden houses add to its charm. Recently, it was the fourth anniversary of the flood that caused unimaginable damage in Bogatynia. Almost 1,200 families were injured there. Today the city is booming. Although most associate it with a lignite mine, it is a charming resort with a lot to offer to tourists. Especially thanks to its location - it is located in a place where the borders of three countries meet: Poland, the Czech Republic and Germany.

The subject of this article does not lose its relevance, coming back like a boomerang every vacation, holiday or long weekends. Writing about it is difficult because the theses presented in the text should interest the most those who are interested little or not at all. When we talk about organizing a holiday trip, guardians of dogs, cats, guinea pigs or other pets are divided into those who know everything about it and do not know anything - and they do not mind. The latter, when planning their vacation, take care of what is important to them, i.e. where they will go, how much they will spend and how much fun they will have. The organization of care for a pet left at home is not so important that they devote too much time to it. As a result, the holiday period is filled with information about more abandoned animals year after year. And the problem can be solved so easily ...

Leave without a pet, i.e. a babysitter needed immediately

Manufacturers reveal more models for 2015. Currently, light structures using glass fibers are becoming a standard and other manufacturers include them in their offer. The Fiat Ducato will remain the base for most motorhomes next year, but now in a refreshed version. What's most important in the new Advantage is the new design that uses glass fibers. Due to the fact that the walls are made of XPS, aluminum and polyurethane foam, and the floor and roof are made of GRP , the new Advantage should be more durable and resistant to moisture.

Vrsar, a beautiful Croatian resort, is located in the vicinity of the largest naturist center, amid hills and lush Mediterranean vegetation. Wide beaches and blue water attract tourists from distant corners of the continent as well as delicious cuisine. Vrsar is located approx. 9 km south of Poreč in western Istria. It has an exceptionally beautiful archipelago, which consists of 18 tiny uninhabited islets with Mediterranean fauna. Those interested can see them up close from a motorboat - they can be rented in the town itself, as well as pedal boats, sailboats and surfboards.

Adria has refreshed the range of Altea caravans. We will look at the smallest of the models in this series, which in Germany costs 15-17 thousand. euro. The smallest Altea, marked with the symbol PH 369, is a compromise proposition, especially worth recommending to a couple who dream of a new caravan, but cannot afford any "fancy" model. Users have only 462 cm of length at their disposal. Including the drawbar , the trailer measures 603 cm . And it just has to be a bit tight at that length, even if there are two people traveling in the caravan. However, the small size also has advantages. The vehicle weighs 1049 kg, which is enough to be towed even by a light car with low power.

We get up in the morning and realize that the long-awaited moment is coming! Departure to Norway. While we started "planning" the entire trip, fundraising, etc. about six months earlier, something always fell out, disturbed and effectively prevented one hundred percent from planning a trip from A to Z ... which made our trip a huge spontaneous trip :) Hmm, spontaneity? It's our style! Until the last minute, we did not even know the exact date of departure, we booked the ferry several hours before departure, the only thing we knew was the direction of travel. The session at the university, which started quite early for us, the instructor exams, late-night studies and bachelor's exams effectively prevented us from devoting ourselves to a blissful in-depth reading about the attractions and curiosities that Scandinavia hides before us. Our standard day, about a month and a half before departure, looked like this: breakfast -> university -> work -> study until 2:00 am, and Bartek still had to find a moment to bury at Tripciak so that he could safely and without any problems drive along the entire route and complete the new interior development.

Can an original-looking, small caravan be practical and comfortable at the same time? Adria argues that yes. The Action model from the outside is distinguished by its appearance, but it can also surprise you on the inside. Adria Action is an interesting proposition for those who are bored with typical caravans, sometimes difficult to distinguish from each other. The protruding "rump" at the back or the teardrop shape of the windows with tinted glass are the characteristic distinguishing features of this model. However, it is often the case that the original appearance has to be repaired by suffering inconvenience caused by subordinating practical features to design.

For those who would first associate Regensburg in Spain or Portugal, the task may be facilitated by its second name - Regensburg. And it is immediately clear that this is about Germany, specifically about Bavaria. Regensburg is especially tempting with its wonderful old town. It has been under observation protection for 70 years, and its priceless monuments are carefully restored. To think that a decade earlier it was planned to demolish them and build new blocks in this place ... Today it seems barbaric that anyone could think of it.

The German company La Strada specializes in the construction of the so-called motorhome-vans. Currently, it offers three models, one of which is based on the Fiat Ducato and two on the Mercedes Sprinter. The cheapest option in La Strada's offer is the Avanti model range. There are as many as 6 basic variants, each of which is based on the Fiat Ducato. This is a fairly standard proposition. The distinguishing features of the Avanti series are, however, some characteristic details, such as interestingly stylized sofa headrests , bold color variants of the upholstery and a large selection of furniture fronts. There are, for example, interiors in silver and red colors . The motorhome is equipped with, among others in 70-liter tanks for fresh water and sewage.

Summer is a time of high-profile festivals where you can have a great time, meet a lot of people and, unfortunately, sometimes get robbed. Is there any way to avoid this?. Sunrise has passed, the OFF Festival has passed, the dust has fallen after Woodstock, just like after Opener. There are still a few large events ahead of us, for which thousands of people from all over the country will come to tents. Crowds, a nice aura, evenings in front of the stage, and the days spent sleeping at night madness. There is an atmosphere of having fun together in the air - is there anything that might spoil it? Unfortunately yes. Even in the most positive crowd there will be at least one person who came to the festival to steal.
