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.

Camping with children

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.

Matrix is by definition the best of Adria's semi-integrated motorhomes. Only fully integrated models are above, and below five more economical motorhomes. A spacious interior, comfortable sleeping places, L-shaped kitchens and good equipment - these are, according to the manufacturer, the characteristic features of all models from the Matrix series. It should be noted that the Matrix is not the same as the Matrix. There are three different series in the Matrix family - Matrix Axess, Matrix (just like that) and the largest - Matrix Supreme.

If you were to conduct a survey after the holidays and ask a certain number of people the question "How do you care for your tent?", A large percentage of respondents would say (perhaps even with a shrug) that they do not care at all. The tent was brought back from vacation and tossed into a corner where it will be waiting for the next opportunity to leave. At the same time, it will be decaying, gaining moisture and slowly becoming useless - which we will discover only during the preparations for the trip. Meanwhile, it takes very little effort to keep it safe from mold and a musty smell. Well-groomed will repay the owners with the possibility of long use (and this does not only apply to expensive, branded products).

How to care for a tent?

While at the campsite, you don't have to plunge into darkness. At the same time, you don't have to worry that electricity consumption will ruin your budget. The solution is LED lighting. LED bulbs consume up to 90% less energy than halogen lighting. They are long-lasting, do not heat up and can run on batteries for a long time. These advantages make LED lighting ideal for motorhomes and caravans. They can be placed in various places, illuminating almost every corner of the vehicle without fear that electricity bills will be a threat to our wallets or that the electricity supplies on board will run out quickly.

Żywiec is often associated with a golden drink in a bottle or can. Not without reason - it is here that one of the largest breweries in the country is located and Birofilia, the largest beer festival in Poland, is organized. During the event, you can visit the brewery and the adjacent museum, as well as see a beer brewing and malt-roasting demonstration. Festival participants can also admire folklore shows and listen to concerts of music bands. Brewing contests and games take place on the stock exchange stage, which you can take a closer look at. Viewers have a unique opportunity not only to see all these attractions, but also to taste beers from distant corners of the world.

How about visiting places that few people know about, and even fewer had a chance to see them with their own eyes? See truly lunar landscapes - raw, naked spaces that look untouched by human hands. For lovers of a blaze of colors and lush vegetation of warm countries, the vision of such a trip is not necessarily attractive. However, for those who like to get to know new things, a metaphorical walk on the moon will be an unforgettable experience. Poles can stay on the island without the need for a visa - all you need is a passport or a new ID card.
