In the previous episodes of this series, I looked at the offers for used motorhomes at prices up to 15,000 and up to 35,000. zloty. Unfortunately, although gems can be found in these price ranges, they are rare. So maybe I will find something after increasing the budget to 50,000. zloty?. The first word that comes to mind is "job"! I am disappointed that, having such a decent sum, I have to watch offers such as Mercedes-Benz Hymer Mobil from ... 1981! Sure, the vehicle looks well maintained, but 36,000. PLN, however, is too high a price, as long as I want to have a car to drive, and not present it to my friends as a museum exhibit.

Under this strange and difficult to pronounce name there is a mysterious building imbued with the scent of resin and wood. It is a monumental temple where a person not only suddenly feels weak and tiny, but also a place where we forget about the world behind the door. Paradoxically, this enclave of magic and peace is located in the immediate vicinity of the city with a reputation as a center of debauchery, a destination for tourists interested in seeking paid love. We are talking about the Thai resort of Pattaya, located 120 km from the capital of the country, on the Gulf of Thailand, and the temple is Prasat Satchatham, the Sanctuary of Truth.

How to create an original product? Combine the two, not yet far apart. The American company Moby1 produces teardrop trailers with off-road properties. Ashley Grimes, the founder of Moby1, has been a lover of beautiful design for years. He especially liked the teardrop trailers. So he began to study the construction of teardrop-shaped trailers and finally ventured out to implement his own project. He used the fact that he knew both carpentry and construction, as well as studied history of art and industrial design.

Although there are more and more people for whom spending a winter vacation in a motorhome at a campsite is nothing strange, so many people still associate a tent in December with experiences reserved only for mountaineers. Because how to sleep in a sleeping bag when the temperature is below zero outside? How to pitch a tent when it's snowing up to your knees? And finally - why, when you can sleep comfortably in a guesthouse?. There is no doubt that this is not an adventure for everyone. Citing the example of mountaineers is most appropriate. Most often, we set up a tent in the snow after traveling many kilometers of mountain routes. To be able to afford it, you need not only to have the appropriate equipment, but also to be in shape. Mountain hiking will tire everyone. You do not need to remind anyone about warm, thick clothes and shoes, nor about the need for good orientation in the field. On the route, snowshoes or cross-country skis will be very useful, thanks to which it will be easier for us to traverse the trails.

I have already written about the fact that we have little chance of finding a motorhome for up to 15,000. in good condition. That's why I decided to raise the rate and look for something for a price of around 30,000. zloty. The first thing that catches my attention is the Chrysler Grand Voyager Camper . The name can be misleading, however, as there is no question of a car that can be a house on wheels. The main difference between an ordinary Voyager and a Camper is the presence of a retractable roof in the latter, which can act as a tent on the upper floor.

One of the most popular and certainly the most luxurious Italian resorts is Cortina d'Ampezzo. It is located in the province of Belluno, in the Veneto region, and due to its location in the heart of the Dolomites , it is called the winter capital of Italy. The center is located in a valley surrounded by high peaks, thanks to which tourists visiting it have the opportunity to enjoy delicious views. There are also atmospheric hotels built at the beginning of the last century, numerous restaurants and shops await guests. It is worth knowing that the resort is a car-free center.

Can we buy a camper for up to PLN 15,000? zloty? It turns out that yes, although it certainly will not be a vehicle of the first youth. If we want to buy a car for camping, we can use advertising portals such as Allegro and Otomoto. We can also contact companies specializing in renting and selling campers. However, such offers for 20-year-old and older vehicles are rare in companies. It's different on advertising websites. For PLN 5,980 I find a strange car from... 1978 ! It has been described as a "Hymer-Eriba Bedford Vauxhal Blitz" and looks like a caravan with a driver's cabin (see article: Hymer Eriba-Touring ). Unfortunately, both the outside and the inside seem a bit worn out. I am not convinced by the assurance that the condition is good, the engine can be powered by petrol and gas, and the car is equipped with a kitchen, refrigerator and shower.

The Niseko Resort routes await avid skiers on the Japanese island of Hokkaido. It is said that on the local routes there is the lightest, fluffy snow in the world, which is largely due to the regular blowing of strong Siberian wind on the slopes. The ski season lasts from December to May, with an average of 590 cm of snowfall each year . The town itself is very easy to get to from all nearby resorts, which is another incentive for anyone who would like to test their skiing skills in an exotic country.

The Turks picked up on the returning fashion for teardrops. But what they do with these (and not only these) caravans may surprise many caravanning enthusiasts. Turkish teardrops are sold in Europe under the name Turtle, but in Turkey they are called Caretta and are available in a much richer number of versions. Civil versions of Basoglu Caretta trailers are marked as 1200 and 1500 and are the main export product of the manufacturer. The 1200 model weighs 375 kg and is 3853 mm long. The galvanized chassis and Al-Ko suspension are to guarantee quality. The trailer has accommodation for two people, a set of cabinets, radio, ventilation, alarm. You can also install a refrigerator, a small LCD TV and a DVD player.

Holidays in an exotic country are associated with a lot of memories, and sometimes also with unpleasant experiences. It is not so bad when we leave them behind when we leave a given place, however, sometimes the consequences of a successful vacation make themselves felt after a few weeks, manifesting themselves with fever and other ailments. The first threat is a tropical parasitic disease known as malaria . Flu-like symptoms may appear even a few months after you return from vacation. They cannot be underestimated, especially if on vacation we slept in a room without air conditioning, no mosquito nets, and we did not use mosquito repellent. Insects do not like air movement, so when looking for a place to stay, we should think about savings and, however, pay extra for air conditioning.

There is a place where history intertwines with culture, winding a thin ribbon of smoke up towards the sky. The smoke comes from a pipe in which opium is smoked - a product that once made the area famous. What is this place all about? For the Golden Triangle, a mountainous region where the borders of three countries meet: Burma, Laos and Thailand. In addition, the Chinese province of Yunnan is several dozen kilometers from this place. In the Golden Triangle, the definition of a country is not very strict, the boundaries between cultures are blurred and no one is really interested in what nationality is written in the passport. Life goes on slowly, focusing on the unhurried functioning of the coexisting clans. Day after day, week after week, year after year. They have their own rites and beliefs, their own identity and culture.

A caravan and a motorhome are very practical vehicles. Not only ordinary caravanning enthusiasts find out about it, but also politicians and celebrities. Madonna, George Clooney, Kanye West - these are just a few of the names of the stars who use powerful motorhomes (or rather buses) and tractor-trailer Quixote trailers (sometimes tandems). This is due not only to the celebrity "whim", but often also from the needs. The stars spend many hours on the road, and in the luxuriously equipped caravans they can not only relax. Usually, they also include wardrobes and makeup rooms, and sometimes even offices.
