Some beginnings of caravanning are derived from Gypsy caravans. It was the Roma who spent most of their lives traveling for years, putting all their belongings in carts, which often served as homes. These cars were more and more perfected, e.g. stoves were installed in them ... However, it would be difficult to conclude that the Gypsies traveled for recreational purposes. The first trailer , which was supposed to serve primarily the pleasure of its owner, was built in 1880 in Great Britain. The 5-5 meter horse-drawn camping car was constructed by the Bristol Carriage Company, offering representatives of the upper classes a new form of recreation .

Doesn't it look nice? Integra Line, a fully integrated motorhome from the German company Eura Mobil. It is worth taking a closer look at it. The base will not surprise us. The Integra Line motorhome is a Fiat Ducato, as standard with a 130 HP engine with a permissible total weight of 3.5 tons. However, the power can be increased to 180 HP and the weight to 4,250 kg. From the outside, however, we will not see any traces of Fiat in Integra, and our attention should not escape the body structure. They are made of CFRP composites , i.e. materials reinforced with carbon fiber. This increases the stiffness and strength of the body. The walls do not contain wooden elements.

For those who have everything, but would like even more, the German company Most Mobile Specials in cooperation with the camping company Eura Mobil has prepared the Futuria Sport + Spa model. Most specializes in the production of futuristic-looking special-purpose trucks, e.g. for business and promotional purposes. However, the offer also includes a model that should be of particular interest to enthusiasts of active leisure - of course, those whose wallets enable life without any compromises. The Futuria Sport + Spa model is hardly a motorhome in the classic sense, but this monster with an aerodynamic front end, equipped with a 200 HP engine, has a lot to offer enthusiasts of long journeys. In this case, no compromises means a large garage that can easily accommodate a sports car , a living room, two bedrooms and a terrace over the entire surface of the trailer.

Futuria motorhome - more than a luxury

There is always not enough space in a caravan or motorhome! Therefore, it is worth considering whether the next furniture that seems necessary could not be replaced with something light and taking up little space. Your trailer is missing a table? Do you need a bigger one, because the children have grown up and they won't all fit on one table top? Or maybe you are interested in the possibility of eating a meal in the open air? If so, think about a folding table. Some models are height-adjustable and have a weather-resistant top. After detaching or folding the legs, the table can be conveniently hidden in a place where it will not take up too much space.

It can also be comfortable in front of the trailer

Among the Eriba caravans, the Nova Light model is in the middle of the pack. This caravan isn't the biggest, it's not the most luxurious, but it's not the cheapest either. Perhaps it is a good compromise in terms of price and comfort. Compact on the outside - comfortable inside, this is how the German manufacturer advertises this caravan. Despite the fact that Nova Light is approx. 6 meters long, each of the four versions has four beds. The internal height is 1.98 m , which means that most people will not have to bend down when cooking, for example. The width is 2.12 m. Due to the permissible total weight of 1,200 kg (it can be increased for an additional fee, up to 1,500 kg), even a small passenger car can pull the trailer.

Eriba Nova Light - common sense above all

Will there be at least one woman whose eyes will not shine on the slogan "sale", and after hearing "promotion" will not speed up her heart rate? In order not to sound too stereotypical, she will definitely be found, but the average woman will start to breathe faster at the sound of these words. Especially when he finds out about the existence of the city of endless sales - Designer Outlet located in Roermond, the Netherlands. It is closed for only two days: on Christmas Eve and on New Year's Day. During the remaining days, it is more or less crowded with customers coming from all over Europe, which can be seen in the car registrations in the parking lots in front of the gate to the boutique paradise.

Not only for women - the Roermond sales

If you want to see how much Europe differs from America, take a look at this car. What is quite average compared to other camping vehicles from the United States would be quite a shock, e.g. on a Polish camping field ... The manufacturer, Thor Motor Coach , claims that the ACE EVO is a compromise between an A-class motorhome (i.e. a motorhome the size of a small bus) and a C-class (an extended van). This compromise is 8-10 meters long (depending on the version) and somehow it does not suit us in any way to combine it with, for example, a camping Fiat Ducato. But this is America - there the words "standard" and "compromise" clearly have a different meaning than in our country.

This time our destination is the Millau Viaduct on the Tarn River , which is one of the greatest achievements of world engineering and a great tourist attraction in France. It is located on the A75 motorway from Paris to Montpellier and towards Spain. Preparations for its creation took several years, but interestingly, the entire structure was erected in just three. The investment cost EUR 400 million. Most of the structural elements were created on land and then slipped over prepared places. For this purpose, 64 hydraulic cylinders were used, which moved the spans at the rate of 9 meters per hour for many days. 206,000 square meters were also used to build the bridge. tons of cement, and the weight of steel used in the construction is 36 thousand. tonnes, which is five times the amount used to build the Eiffel Tower.
