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.

If you're interested in a motorhome that looks great, turn your eyes to Italy. Fortunately, the Italian S-Yacht is distinguished not only by its design, but also by many practical solutions. Mobilvetta S-Yacht among motorhomes may indeed be like a yacht among boats. The fully integrated body with a streamlined yet slightly aggressive front looks very modern and invites you to look inside. This, however, does not disappoint either. You can immediately see that good materials have been used to finish this vehicle. And what is important, this motorhome does not look as if it was composed of standard, separately purchased elements. The S-Yacht gives the impression that every detail has been designed specifically for this particular car.

Hong Kong appears to many as a huge city full of skyscrapers and lights. And rightly so, because it is a sleepless metropolis, like a gigantic anthill pulsating with the inexhaustible energy of millions of lives. Although it belongs to the People's Republic of China, it still looks like a separate state nestled between the sea and the southern border of the Middle Kingdom. The crowded streets smell like dried fish and incense, and the crowd overflows with them like another element of nature. The variety of views surprises tourists right after leaving the airport. The modernity of the skyscrapers contrasts with the lush greenery covering the surrounding hills, and the hustle and bustle of the street - with the tranquility of nature. The city itself is spread over the mainland and smaller and larger islands, of which the two main ones are named: Hong Kong and Lantau . As you might guess, the former is a business center full of futuristic buildings, expensive hotels and upscale restaurants, while the latter attracts with majestic statues in honor of the Buddha - including the iconic bronze prophet statue. On Lantau we can also find beautiful temples intricately integrated into the landscape of greenery growing on the hills.

We have more and more devices that we think are essential. In the motorhome or caravan, we want to have a refrigerator, coffee machine, TV, computer, and fashionable LED lighting that will brighten every corner of the vehicle. But where to get electricity?. Standard on-board batteries are usually sufficient if we frequently change places of residence. Worse, if we plan a longer stop, away from electricity sources. When preparing for such situations, it is worth considering installing roof solar panels.

Poles are taking over not only the Internet. For the sixteenth time, they start the ski season much earlier than the rest of the skiing and snowboarding fans - already in November. On November 9-16, 2013, a great event will take place on the Austrian Hintertux glacier, The Polish Pow (d) er Week . In the Zillertal valley, in one of the most popular ski regions of the country, thousands of Poles who love snow and fun will meet. Hintertux is the only year-round glacier in Austria. For years, it has been attracting winter sports enthusiasts, and each year there are more and more of our countrymen among these crowds. The Polish Pow (d) er Week is a huge, grand event with Polish-speaking staff, evening concerts of Polish bands (Kobranocka and Manchester) and several days of snow madness with Polish instructors. The inhabitants of the country on the Vistula will not only be the first to have a chance to test their capabilities on the slopes of Hintertux , but also be the first to test ski equipment for the 2013/2014 season. Among the brands that you will be able to see are, among others Salomon, Rossignol, K2 and Blizzard.

Driving on a highway or expressway is nothing easier, right? However, it is worth remembering about certain rules, especially if we do not deal with expressways on a daily basis, and we travel in a camper or a car with an attached trailer. It may be difficult to enter the motorway itself. On the so-called the acceleration lane should be accelerated to reach the speed at which we will easily enter the traffic. Some drivers, however, move so slowly that they have to stop at the end of the lane and wait for cars in the left-hand lane to pass. Therefore, if you are entering a motorway or an expressway behind another vehicle, be prepared to brake. Otherwise, you may run into the back of a slower car.

The American vision of camping may differ a bit from what we are used to. The field conditions can be luxurious, as we will see when we board the Fleetwood Excursion model with the 2014 symbol (indicating the next year). Actually, we do not have to get into this model specifically. All Fleetwood vehicles look similar, and the Excursion is one of the cheaper A-class motorhomes. This one was equipped with a 3-liter diesel engine and costs about PLN 180,000 in the basic version. dollars. But whoever has more cents in their purse, can opt for the Providence model (literally: "providence") for over 328 thousand. dollars, with an engine power of 450 hp.

The works of human hands can be practical, prosaic and painfully devoid of poetry. They can also delight, provoke a sharp dilation of the pupils and the opening of the mouth. If a product of the human mind was sent into space to delight representatives of other civilizations, these would probably be the most famous compositions of classical music. Perhaps these collections would also include paintings by the master of da Vinci - who knows, maybe "they" would solve the mystery of the mysterious smile of Mona Lisa?.

When we think about Thailand, we imagine either richly decorated temples or paradise islands and islets scattered among crystal clear waters. Both visions are correct, but today we will focus on the latter. More specifically, on the archipelago consisting of several dozen islands, which - despite the constantly growing popularity, and hence the crowds - still have quiet and peaceful places to offer. We are talking about Ko Lanta , an archipelago of 52 beautiful islands in the Andaman Sea. They tempt tourists with clean beaches and forests growing in deeper regions.

Evan is a completely new look at motorhomes. While working on this model, Dethleffs decided to abandon the accepted rules and completely rethink the concept of a motorhome. The fact that this is a completely different motorhome is evidenced even by the fact that its description cannot be found on the Dethfless brand website. Evan has his own website, and the relationship between the German manufacturer and his new brand is not exposed. All this to emphasize that Evan was not created to meet the expectations of camping enthusiasts. This vehicle is to appeal to those who have not seen a place for themselves in the camping world so far.

Motorhome owners don't have to worry about not being able to take more things on vacation. However, the situation is different for those who are planning a camping trip or are left with packing into a suitcase. There is always not enough space for stuffing all the necessary things, which usually causes our backpack to burst at the seams, crackle disturbingly and we are terrified by the very thought of taking anything out of it. So maybe some clever female tricks will be helpful?. There are legends about the capacity of women's handbags. We will find there not only a toiletry bag, keys or perfume, but also a set of wrenches or a jar of pickled cucumbers (documented fact). How do women do that from the depths of their little handbags they can get so many things - and still carry it all? These questions will probably remain rhetorical forever.
