Thanks to having their own motorhome, travel enthusiasts gain great independence. They decide where they will spend the night on a given day, which route they will go, and time is not something they have to follow. Traveling with a motorhome is practically not limited by any border - neither land nor sea. The latter can be easily overcome today thanks to ferries. However, not everyone knows about it, and some of those who do think ferry fees are too much of an expense. In addition, there is a requirement to meet all standards that allow the vehicle to be transported through water. Some are discouraged by this, and wrongly so. By resigning from ferries , they deprive themselves of the possibility of reaching interesting places much faster than by land (sometimes leading around a longer route) and much cheaper. After calculating the costs, it is often possible to come to the conclusion that this transport option allows us to save both time and money. It is also the only situation when we travel while sleeping, i.e. rest before starting the actual trip.

In a comparison made by the Dutch magazine "Camping, Cars & Caravans", costing approx. 10 thousand. The Weinsberg trailer euro turned out to be the test winner. The editors of the magazine, testing the low-budget caravans, appreciated the CaraOne 420 QD model by Weinsberg. The testers noted, among others for comfortable beds, good-quality furniture, a well-presented living room, and some storage solutions. The tested model was the second - counting from the cheapest - model in the Weinsberg collection. The 400 LK version cost 1,000 euros less. However, there are a total of 8 versions of trailers to choose from.

Weinsberg Cara One - the trailer was appreciated

The violets finally bloomed in Poland. They scattered in the grass as densely as the accompanying modest daisies. Beautiful magnolias also bloomed, delighting the eyes and noses of people passing by, not to mention the lush yellow forsythia. If, despite this, flora lovers feel unsatisfied, they can nourish all their senses with a visit to a place that fully deserves the term "flower kingdom". Where is this mysterious place? Nobody should be surprised by the answer: in the Netherlands, the country of tulips. The sea of flowers that awaits us stretches out in Lisse, a town about 35 km from Amsterdam.

From sights to flowers - a trip to Lisse

The most famous Scottish Shepherd in the world, Lassie, traveled hundreds of kilometers longing for his beloved master. Nowadays, collies travel the world together with their owners and a camper. And this is certainly what the shaggy family of a family passionate about traveling - the Wyrzykowskis - do.

It was an instant decision. I learned that a long column of the most beautiful, expensive, fastest, and in general the best cars taking part in the annual Gumball 3000 race will pass through Krakow, so I could not miss it. Except that the word “lightning fast”, which turned out to be there, had nothing to do with the existing reality. First things first. We were driving from the south side of the city and things started to get interesting in the vicinity of Rondo Matecznego. The closer we got to our destination, the more our tram lingered. On the way, we passed a few vehicles heading for Vienna, so our irritation grew. Finally we got off at ul. St. Lawrence and we saw the crowd, what am I saying, a street literally sealed with people. I decided that I would not give up ("What? I'm not pushing in ?!") and armed with a camera, I started to struggle through the jungle, but I missed machetes. Although no, the connection between the machete and Krakow has been badly associated lately, so maybe let's skip it.

Sunny, hot summer ... When we wait for it, it seems like a dream come true. But when it comes, we often want nothing more than a little cool. If you don't want caravanning to feel like a sauna on wheels, think about air conditioning in advance. When choosing the right air conditioner, you should consider the length of your motorhome or caravan. A longer vehicle will require a more efficient device. If you opt for a rooftop air conditioner, you can choose a unit that is integrated with the sunroof.

Amusement parks are places where everyone can feel like a child again. Huge rollercoasters, trains, Ferris wheels, gondolas - in short, everything related to pleasure. Not only children have great fun in an amusement park, and no one should feel stupid if they want to go there as a participant in the madness and not as a serious adult. The undisputed leader of amusement parks on the old continent is Disneyland near Paris, advertised as a place every child dreams of. Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park are the most visited amusement parks in Europe and among the most visited parks in the world. They offer guests several lands where you can meet the heroes of childhood fairy tales - including: Fantasyland with Sleeping Beauty's castle and Adventureland with motifs from Pirates of the Caribbean and Robinson Crusoe. Both parks, together with the surrounding hotels and Disney Village, form a gigantic recreation and recreation complex. Fairies, princesses, a happily smiling Mickey Mouse or Winnie the Pooh with a jug of honey - we will meet everyone here. It may be too sweet for some, but after all, it is a world of fairy tales and magic.

On internet forums we can find a lot of information on how to cope with camping, especially when we go camping for the first time. We can read that caravanning people are friendly, helpful, helpful and willing to share their knowledge with younger tourists. This is all true, but there is also the flip side of the coin - the over- interest and over-helpfulness that we may encounter (and likely to encounter). As a well-known saying goes, you can also pet a cat. First of all, it is worth learning a lot of diplomacy. Even if you have a planned travel plan, you have read everything you could read about it and checked every piece of information thoroughly, there will be people who know better and will necessarily want to pass this knowledge on to you. Remember - you are younger (not necessarily your age, it's about internship), so you definitely don't know each other. In situations like these, it's best to nod and say thanks for your good advice. Both sides will be happy and you will do your own thing anyway.

How to survive at the campsite?

There are different ideas for advertising campaigns. Specialists in attracting the interest and attention of the wider community compete in inventing neat slogans, intriguing posters and engaging movies. The latest ad of Małopolska is extremely original because it moves on four wheels. At the end of May, a promotional campaign was launched (literally and figuratively), in which the main character is a motorhome. And not just any - a cruise vehicle embellished with red corals, a symbol of Lesser Poland , was sent on a route leading through several European countries.

A van where you can eat, but also sleep and rest - in 2003, the German carpenter, Hubert Voller, began to implement this vision. This is how VanEssa was born, the name of which comes from the combination of the words "van" and "essen" (to eat). As an active vacationer, Voller knew that most motorhomes and caravans are only used for a few weeks of the year. They are not needed for the rest of the time. What if it was possible to easily equip an ordinary passenger car with the necessary tourist equipment? This would solve many problems. It would take a moment to put in the appropriate furniture, which would allow frequent spontaneous trips without the need to purchase or rent a second car or trailer.

When visiting a given country, we pay attention not only to the beauty of the landscape and the customs of its inhabitants. We enjoy local dishes and get to know new tastes, enriching ourselves with new experiences. Italian cuisine is particularly diverse, so during our stay in Italy, we will have the opportunity to deepen our culinary knowledge at an exceptionally high level.

Sanitary considerations are one of the factors that may discourage you from enjoying the campsite's charms. Fortunately, nowadays, equipping motorhomes and caravans with a toilet is standard, and in the absence of such an element, its purchase is not a problem. A portable toilet can simply make life easier in the world and it probably does not need to be convinced. The problem can only be choosing the right model. The toilet must fit in the part intended for the bathroom, and if we replace the old sanitary facilities with new ones, it should also fit the installation used. If you want to replace the old model with a new one, but of the same brand, it shouldn't be a problem. The most famous producers make sure that their equipment (both new and old) is "compatible" with each other.
