The blue of Morocco's capital, Rabat, will delight anyone who visits this city. The bustling medina, stately mosques and beautiful sandy beaches attract thousands of tourists from all countries each year. All the paths are said to lead to Rome. Traveling through the next kilometers of Moroccan land, sooner or later we will reach the most important administrative city, i.e. Rabat. The capital of Morocco is situated right on the ocean, at the mouth of the Bou Regreg River. Despite having such an important function, it is neither the largest nor the most crowded city in the country. It is surprisingly clean and calm, there are not so many touts or hustle and bustle here. The police are diligently patrolling the streets, making sure that tourists can feel safe and fully enjoy their vacation in their beautiful country.

We present a video showing the process of building a Fiat Ducato chassis, used to build camping vehicles. The film was made in an Italian factory from the SEVEL group.

How are motorhome chassis based on Fiat Ducato made?

The Travel Style is the basic model from among the three available in the TEC offer. What distinguishes it from the outside is a round window, somewhat reminiscent of a ship's cabin, as well as a raised roof with walls made of fabric, mounted on request. The Travel Style caravan is made on the Al-Ko chassis. The front wall, rear wall and the roof are made of fiberglass , which should protect the vehicle against hail and other difficult weather conditions. Inside the vehicle, adequate air circulation is ensured by ventilated furniture - the air circulates through openings in sofas and cabinets. The manufacturer tried to use the surface of the trailer to the maximum, hence a large number of compartments (space for gas cylinders is located in the external compartment).

The cleanest air in Central Europe, snow from November to May and an intriguing past. The Czech ski resort of Pradziad attracts winter sports enthusiasts as well as adventurers. In the distant past, this area was notoriously known as a place of witch sabbaths.

Here you can find some of the best snow conditions in Moravia. In addition, the area is advertised as the place with the cleanest air in Central Europe , so we have a guaranteed healthy rest (regardless of whether it is active or passive).

If you are interested in buying a new motorhome, one of the cheaper options will be to choose a van, branded for tourist use. Such vehicles are offered by the German company Domo ReiseVan. Although there are many companies on the market that convert vans into campers, there are some features that distinguish the Domo brand. First of all, the manufacturer is not based on the currently most popular Fiat Ducato, but on the Mercedes Sprinter . Secondly, it uses many practical solutions that are not commonly used.

Converting a van into a motorhome seems to be a solution that may not be the easiest but cheaper than buying a ready-made motorhome. In addition, we get the opportunity to create such buildings as we dream of. However, making a camper from a "tin" is subject to regulations.

If skiing and snowing, it's not necessarily Switzerland or Austria. It may well be Slovakia and the center of Jasná Low Tatras. Modern lifts, beautiful slopes and the proximity of Tatralandia - that's it!. In the vicinity of Szczyrk, Żywiec and Žilina, there is a large ski resort - Jasná Low Tatras . It is the most popular and largest resort in Slovakia, and its routes stretch along the southern and northern slopes of Chopok Mountain, creating one large resort since 2007. We can find it at the end of the village of Demänovská Dolina, in the foothills of the Low Tatras. The ski season in Jasna usually starts at the beginning of December and lasts until the end of April.

The Knaus brand has recently been trying to show itself as an innovative company. This is evidenced by the Caravisio concept caravan, which was a sensation at the Dusseldorf fair, or the modular Deseo caravan. But Knaus also offers almost classic models, such as the Van TI motorhome. How does Knaus imagine its customers? The users of the Van TI model are to be couples of young people (or friends) who live in the city on a daily basis, but want to set off on an adventurous journey during the weekend or on vacation. They need a car that is not too big to be agile on the highway, winding city streets and not too expensive. Functionality is more important to them than appearance, although furniture and equipment should of course be of good quality.

After Marrakesh and Casablanca, Fez, one of the most famous cities in this exotic country, should also be on the list of must-see points for a trip around Morocco. It is here that the University of al-Karaouine (al-Qarawiyyin) is located, according to the Guinness Book of Records and UNESCO, the oldest university in the world. Also in this city you will find the world's largest medina, the sight of which will make you nystagmus and perhaps even claustrophobic. After returning to Poland, even the owner of a very cramped studio will look at his apartment differently, surprised by its spaciousness.

Fez - the heart of Morocco

During the stay at the campsite, sooner or later we will definitely want to have a barbecue or organize an atmospheric evening by the fire. While the former is not a major problem, and we will have the materials needed to prepare the grill with us, lighting a fire requires a bit more preparation. First of all, we cannot afford them everywhere. Besides, unskilful attempts to start a fire can end up burning out all the matches, finishing the gas in the lighter and severely straining our patience. Meanwhile, half of the success lies in good quality kindling, which we can make ourselves.

How to light a fire in a different way than usual?

Is this the end of rounded trailers? Knaus Deseo goes in the opposite direction. In this case, angular shapes look fresh and modern. But this is not the only innovation. Knaus Deseo is a trailer that is to set new design rules. It is supposed to be inexpensive (in Germany it costs from 7,888 euros), aimed rather at young people, and thanks to the modular structure, it will provide great possibilities for furnishing and arranging the interior. Knaus tries to convince with this model that convenient and modern solutions do not have to be expensive. The purchase of a new Deseo trailer is to be an alternative even to the purchase of a trailer that is several years old. In order for the new model to appeal to young people, an interesting design was taken care of. The interior is dominated by bright colors and rounded shapes of furniture . Elements that are supposed to give the impression of coziness, such as colorful upholstery, have been combined with modern, smooth surfaces of bathroom doors or openwork sides of a bunk bed.
