Here is the Iveco Daily in a version you hardly see every day. For the Dethleffs brand, the Premium Liner model is a showcase - so important that it comes off a separate production line, different from other motorhomes. Technically, we are dealing with a modernized Iveco Daily 70 C17 with a 3-liter JTD engine with 170 HP. But you have to pay much more for it than for a van. Dethleffs offers a camping version of this vehicle with prices from 177,900 euros (in Germany). In return, we get a car that does not resemble its prototype at all - it resembles a neat bus rather than a delivery car. This association can be confirmed by the presence of large, externally accessible compartments located between two layers of the floor. A large garage , however, should dispel doubts - such a facility is typical for premium motorhomes.

Choose the largest and most crowded ski resort or take advantage of the offer of his smaller friend? In the case of the Italian resort of Marilleva, the decision is easy - it is a guarantee of a dream vacation. The largest ski resorts attract with a diverse offer. Like modern housing estates, they provide visitors with everything they need. The interest in the most famous resorts is so great that in the high season they are mercilessly crowded. To be able to count on a place in the hotel, reservations must be made several weeks in advance. However, you can do it differently - focus your attention on a smaller center, hugging the giant. Staying in it will guarantee us easy access to the main attractions of the region, and at the same time will allow you to avoid the crowds.

Terock is a motorhome based on the T5 Rockston model. The German company Terra-Camper , which loves to remake Volkswagen, showed what can be done from a seemingly boring van. The basis of Terock can be Volkswagen T5 in any configuration. The engine can range from 83 to 180 HP, and the drive may only be on the front wheels, or on all of them. Versions with both 5-speed and 6-speed gearbox are used. The longest models can measure up to 5,292 mm, and the wheelbase can be extended up to 3,400 mm . The idea of Terock (as well as other Terra-Camper models) is based on a modular construction. Thanks to this, in the middle of the car we will find something like blocks. All of them are made of aluminum, which means that they do not overload the vehicle. And this is especially important in this case, because with an unladen weight of 2,850 kg and a permissible gross weight of 3,200 kg , passengers only have 350 kg to use .

There are places where you can relax like nowhere else. There are no crowds, noisy discos and no traffic jams. One of such places is Montmorillon, the Book Town in France. In the era of smartphones, tablets, computer games, which more and more people play passionately while driving a tram or bus, it is less and less common to find someone who reads an ordinary paper book. Some even make the bold thesis that hardly anyone reads them today. However, this thesis is not so much bold as it is untrue - there are still many lovers of literature on paper. Maybe you just see less of them on a daily basis.

Celtic Rambler is the most expensive caravan in the offer of the British brand Fifth Wheel . If you dream about a huge trailer that can be attached to e.g. a pickup truck, you couldn't have found a better place!. Let's start with the disadvantage. You cannot pull this trailer with a Fiat Seicento or even a Volkswagen Golf. The minimum will be a strong pickup, because the Celtic Rambler caravan weighs 3,200 kg. When fully loaded - 1,100 kg - we will achieve the permissible total weight of 4,300 kg . And if so, then a B-category driving license is not enough and you have to add Viatoll (road tolls) when traveling in Poland.

Driving for many hours at night is always a challenge for the body. It is also a big responsibility for the driver, especially if it is taking family or friends. But what to do when, despite fatigue, you have to keep going?. Drowsiness behind the wheel can get us at different times. In addition to not sleeping, the reason may also be high outside temperature or too much heating in the car. It is also natural to weaken concentration after a heavy meal, especially in the afternoon. However, the most difficult thing to be vigilant is around 4 a.m. - this is the most critical time when it is difficult to control the body's natural reflexes.

Ways to get tired behind the wheel

A sea of flowers in summer, fluffy snow in winter and alpine views - this is the Alpbachtal, a valley where time stands still. We find here the Thinkers' Village, the Congress Center, freeride areas and kilometers of routes. Perfect snow conditions, a network of modern lifts and an extensive tourist infrastructure - these are the advantages of practically every ski resort located in the Austrian Alps. Although some of them are similar to each other like twin sisters, it does not mean that they have nothing to tempt tourists with. On the contrary. A great example is the Alpbachtal ski area , where Alpbach shines like a pearl, a charming village situated on a rocky ledge above the valley.

Volkswagen Ogórek, Samba, Transporter, Bus, Kombi, Bulik, Hippie Van, T1 / T2 or even Camper - this car was called variously in various regions of the world and in various variants, but everywhere it aroused above-average interest and sympathy. After 67 years, its production ends. Not everyone knows that a car called in Poland (because of its shape) a cucumber is still being produced. But even in Brazil, where it still rolls off the assembly line, this iconic car is coming to an end. As usual, success is the result of many coincidences. It all started with the Volkswagen Beetle, and later with its delivery version. On the basis of the enlarged "people's car" with a reinforced floor, a version of the bus was also prepared, called Samba.

Polish MPs are preparing a bill that will force drivers to use appropriate tires in winter. For now, it is a voluntary matter. But when going abroad, we should check what regulations apply in a given country. If we only drive on Polish roads, for now the decision rests with us - drivers. Current regulations require that a tire - whether summer, winter or all-season - must have a tread of at least 1.6 mm. However, in winter conditions this is definitely not enough. Specialists recommend using tires with a minimum tread in winter. 3.5mm.

When and in which country do you need to change your tires?

In the heart of Thailand, approximately 80 km north of the capital, Bangkok, is the country's historic center, Ayutthaya. In the past it was a powerful Thai commercial and cultural center, today it is a somewhat forgotten but undoubtedly noteworthy place. The city was the capital of Thai people for 417 years. When getting to know the province with the same name, it is also worth tasting the local specialties. One of them is Roti Sai Mai, an Asian cotton candy wrapped in thin pancakes. Another culinary curiosity is a dessert made of sesame, sugar, beans and rice, which can be bought in portions - it is available in most stores.
