Snow, frost and aromatic mulled wine under the open sky? Baked sausages, cotton candy and Christmas trees decorated with baubles? We will meet them in every major city, at Christmas Markets. We can spend the pre-Christmas time devoting ourselves to Advent reflection or visiting Christmas markets scattered all over Europe like stars in the sky. In every big city you will find at least a few of them, and each of them spreads around not only the aromas of meals served outdoors, but also of aromatic mulled wine. Above all, it offers a wonderful atmosphere of the upcoming holidays each day.

Thanks to Christmas markets, winter in the city does not have to be boring, and December time does not have to be filled only with waiting for Christmas Eve. You can feel the holiday atmosphere much earlier. Many people are irritated by the quick exchange of candles for Christmas trees and baubles, which takes place in supermarkets practically in front of our eyes. As soon as November takes the place of October, the shops can hear the lively notes of Christmas hits, and the closer to the second half of December, the more often we hear Christmas carols instead of famous songs. However, there is something that subtly introduces a festive mood, not in the interiors of shopping malls, but in the open air. These are Christmas fairs organized each year in many Polish cities.

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 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.
