What to take with you to the beach? It can be a blanket, an inflatable mattress, a surfboard and a Fiat 500L. But the latter must be in the beach version!. Unfortunately, the implementation of this plan will not be easy, as for now Fiat declares that the beach Fiat 500L is only a concept vehicle, prepared especially for the Vans US Open of Surfing surfing event. To see this car, you'd have to go to Huntington Beach soon, because the championship will end soon. Well, unless Fiat changes its mind and after the warm reception of this car by viewers and the media from around the world decides that the concept car is worth developing into a commercial form.

It is hard to imagine a caravanner who blithely goes on the road without securing their luggage beforehand. Already after the first trip, he would have found out that this was at least an unwise move. Badly fastened luggage not only requires cleaning up afterwards - it is also very dangerous. Regardless of whether we are going on vacation by car, camper or taking a trailer with us, we must secure both the luggage inside the vehicle and the luggage mounted on the roof before the trip. When it comes to the interior of the motorhome, an alcove is most often used as an additional luggage compartment. You can quickly stuff larger items such as a table or chairs in it. However, it should be borne in mind that improper (not very careful) fastening of such luggage may not only risk damaging the alcove with its windows, but also be dangerous for travel companions.

For automotive fans, Cordoba is the name of a car, and for architecture lovers, it is a Spanish resort with dozens of temples and mansions with beautiful gardens. The city of the largest mosque on the Iberian Peninsula invites everyone who loves the atmosphere of Andalusia. In the past, the capital of the Moorish state and Roman Spain, today Cordoba is a relatively small city. It is a real tourist pearl of Andalusia, although at first it may seem like a small provincial town, where life focuses around the main square and stops in narrow streets. And it must be admitted that the main square of the resort is decorated with a huge attraction that the entire province boasts - the Grand Mosque. Impressive in terms of size and number of decorations, the building known as La Mezquita is the most impressive mosque that has been built by the Arabs on the Iberian Peninsula.

Maneuvering a caravan while parking can be very troublesome, especially when there is little space left. In some situations, it would be best to make the trailer drive itself into the garage or park itself in the right place on the camping site... So far, no trailer will position itself completely on its own, but maneuvering the vehicle using a remote control also sounds interesting. There are systems, commonly called "movers", that allow a person standing next to the trailer to steer it by pressing appropriate buttons.

A camper powered by natural gas? This may be a very good solution, although there are still few stations in Poland where you can refuel with CNG. However, there is a way to do this too.

Called the pearl of the Mediterranean Sea, Sicily is one of the most charming and unique places for a dream vacation. By traveling through it and its nearby islands in a camper, you have a chance to see its true face, sometimes even untouched by civilization, which delights and leaves amazing memories. Sicily grew straight from the sea as a result of a volcanic eruption. Thanks to this, the terrain here is extremely interesting, and its individual parts are completely different from each other. In the north, high mountains look majestically into the azure sea, while in the south, vast beaches stretch for miles, washed by the cleanest water in the entire Mediterranean. The eastern part of Sicily is called Greek due to its numerous ancient ruins, while the western, Arabic part delights with its cultural mix and constant hustle and bustle. When starting your camper trip around this extraordinary island, it is worth dividing it into several stages. Be prepared that when you change location, you will feel as if you have just entered another country.
