Traveling on your own is a great experience, giving great opportunities to the independent tourist. Unfortunately, there is also this "dark side of the force" - the problem of theft. The topic of robbing caravans and motorhomes has been known for a long time and must be taken into account during every trip. Before setting out to explore the area, take all precautionary measures not to find our mobile home stripped to its feet when you return. Not to mention the empty parking space where our vehicle used to stand.

The Ketterer company has been operating since 1990. From the beginning of its activity, the German manufacturer has specialized in the same - in the production of vehicles for ... horse transport. It's just that these are not ordinary trailers. Ketterer targets its customers with class and… money. The basic offer of the company are vehicles that are used to transport people and horses at the same time. In fact, you can take the entire stables with you on a trip, because part of the car with a place for animals can accommodate up to 7. The passenger cabin is of course completely separated from the "stable", and what we find in the showroom can be considered a luxury without any doubts. .

In the online bookstore of the Rudy Smok Publishing House , for several weeks now, you can buy the book “Kudłacze w travel. Italy for three collies ”by Anna Wyrzykowska and Mikołaj Wyrzykowski. They are members of a nice family that visited Italy last year in a camper, accompanied by a flock of energetic Scottish Sheepdogs.

One TV in the trailer is not enough? Australians will add two more, and a washing machine and dryer. The entire family of Elite caravans consists of several dozen models. However, there are three basic series, although it must be admitted that there is a lot of variety within each of them. Elite , as the name suggests, wants to produce elite (read - luxury) caravans. Luxury, however, has many names, so the offer includes both the diamond series, which includes trailers with very rich equipment, a family series with bunk beds, as well as the most original series of off-road trailers in this set.

There are many warm, sunny weekends ahead of us. When we do not know where to go for a quick trip, or when we cannot afford a longer vacation, it will be a great idea to travel to Hungary, to the nice town of Tokaj. Not everyone knows where it lies, but everyone knows the famous white dessert wine made of dried grapes. The visit does not necessarily have to be short, but the journey itself should not take much time, unless someone wants to come from Gdańsk. For example, from Krynica Morska we will reach our destination in three hours with a hook, from Kraków - in five. Along the way, you can make a few stops in interesting places and thus make your trip more enjoyable (and most importantly extend).

European motorhomes are often very similar to each other. Americans, meanwhile, have a completely different view of caravanning, as exemplified by the Forester of the Forest River brand. A typical American truck with the engine well in front of the windshield, in the camper version? Yes, that's what Forester is. Its basis is - to choose from - a Chevrolet or Ford model specially prepared for the bodywork. A total of 19 versions are available. In the case of Chevrolet, the length can be from 7.4 m to even 9.5 m. However, this is still not much compared to the Ford, which can be up to 9.8 m long (the shortest version measures 7.3 m).

Going camping with children is a topic that has been discussed many times. But it cannot be denied that you can never have too much knowledge and you can always absorb a few more tips on the subject. And also ask a few questions to dispel any doubts - especially when the person asking the question is the organizer of a trip during which the youngest participants are under the care of the traveler. Before you set out, it's wise to do some research on a few issues that may concern you. To find out about them, you can thoroughly search the Internet and call or send an e-mail to the owners of the campsite you are interested in.

A caravan or a motorhome, as they are very small houses on wheels, have their drawbacks. The more troublesome may include imperfections in ventilation systems and difficulties in keeping clean ... When many people stay in a recreational vehicle for a long time, but also in many other situations, an additional device for replacing used air with fresh air would be useful. One such device is Dometic Breathe Easy . This device can be helpful not only to introduce some fresh air into the vehicle. Removing cigarette smoke or cooking odors are obvious uses. Last but not least, Breathe Easy removes mold spores .

How about a bike ride along the shoreline of one of the most beautiful rivers in Europe - the Danube? Why not, especially when we can choose any part of the route or ride the entire route with a lot of free time and even greater fitness. The Danube Cycle Route is one of the most popular in Europe, but its relatively short section between the German capital of Passau and the capital of Austria is of the greatest interest. The route goes along less frequented roads and winds on one side of the river, sometimes on the other side of the river (it is crossed both by bridges and thanks to ferries). You can start it in the beautiful baroque Schärding, approx. 16 km from Passau. The destination may also be elsewhere - not in Vienna or in Hainburg. Along the way, picturesque landscapes and a few stops in charming places await us.

Security can mean many different things, but there is a way for them. Escaping gas, burglary or children's play may be less risky with the right accessories. An alarm in a motorhome or caravan is a security feature that everyone knows. However, the motorhome can also be secured in other ways. A robbery may include, for example, spraying narcotic gas in the vehicle. But gas can also escape from a gas cylinder or a leaking system. A good gas detector should recognize any type of hazardous substance in the air.

Different faces of security

When visiting Italy, apart from spending the night at campsites and special parking lots, caravanning enthusiasts can still take advantage of the possibility of an overnight stay on an Italian farm. And it's absolutely free. All you need to do is become a member of the Fattore Amico association - a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting cooperation between motorhome owners and Italian agricultural producers. The only requirement that the former must meet is a payment of 35 euros per year . Thanks to this, they receive an ID card, a special identification sticker for a motorhome and a catalog with a list of farms where they can stay. The latter, in turn, gain advertising and more customers for their products. Both motorhome owners and local producers enjoy this collaboration with great pleasure.

According to statistics, the French are less likely to suffer from cardiovascular diseases. As they say, they owe it to a glass of wine consumed every day with dinner. Specifically, a glass of red wine, which is high in antioxidants and substances that protect the body against atherosclerosis and blood clots. Red wine is so nutrient-rich because it is made from the whole fruit, not just the juice. And where can we drink the most exquisite wine with a deep, saturated red color? Especially in the wine country, France, and especially in Burgundy, a region where grapevine plantations stretch for miles, from Lyon to Dijon, and the landscape is made up of small farms and small vineyards. You can explore these vast and lush green areas on several different routes. The most convenient option of transport is your own motorhome, because, as you know, traveling through the vineyards involves tasting, and these, in turn, will not allow us to make long trips.
