Rapido, as a brand aspiring to become a premium manufacturer, has been delighting with its modern design, top-notch constructions and... refined furniture style for many years. The latter aspect is "cut" like a diamond in each subsequent collection. Minimalist, elegant and, despite the vehicles' South European origin, truly "Scandinavian" design and modernity are impressive. In the Luceo color combination, bright, matte fronts with a wood texture and contrasting elements in black (e.g. table edges, panels behind the cookers) combined with a well-thought-out play of lights clearly show that quality is not spared here. Of course, instead of the Luceo composition, customers (except the Distinction series) can choose the classic and unflaggingly popular Nacarat composition at no extra charge.

Caravanning is more popular in Poland than you might think. Proof? Just look around, browse through forums about tourism, camping and caravanning, and get interested in these more formal sections of auto clubs and stand-alone clubs. How many active caravanning enthusiasts are there in Poland? It is difficult to define it precisely, but a few pieces of information may help in visualizing the scale of the phenomenon.

Caravanning clubs - what for and for whom?

Manufacturers from the premium segment specializing in really large vehicles for demanding customers for several years are increasingly reaching for more pieces of the caravanning &quot;cake&quot; (read the market), also trying to hit the tastes (and wallets) of fans of motorhomes in the weight category up to 3.5 tons. 3 years ago Frankia presented her first half-integrated design, which was to fight bravely in this weight class - Neo (because it was the name that was given to this model series) turned out to be a bull&#39;s eye.

Frankia Neo now also as an integrated up to 3.5 tons!

On September 10, the Bonham auction house will exhibit the oldest known motorhome in the world. The base car for this wonder is the Ford Model T - the specimen has been widened and reinforced by Baico, and Dunton of Reading (known for the production of high-quality caravans) is responsible for the body and interior. The vehicle was commissioned by the Bentall family - founders and owners of the British chain of department stores of the same name. It is believed that the vehicle was sold in the 1920s, and then the fate of it is lost. It was eventually found in Shepperton and restored in the 1970s by Leo Smith with the help of his friend Robin Tanner - an extremely talented carpenter.

&quot;My house is my fortress&quot; - even if we are talking about our second house (the one on wheels), we always try to feel safe and not have to worry about random events. For this purpose, we choose safe parking spaces, we purchase additional AC insurance for unexpected circumstances. Often we do not even want to imagine that our gems could become the object of interest ... to amateurs of someone else&#39;s property. While preparing for this article, I tried to find out about the theft data from caravans in Europe. It is difficult to find precise statistics, but the lead is the United Kingdom, where a total of hundreds of them are lost each year (distributor of tracking devices for vehicles - Moving Intelligence maintains that it is up to 4,000 items a year, but does not support this data with officially confirmed reports, e.g. police). Last year, our western neighbors had several dozen motorhomes and caravans. However, comparing the year-on-year phenomenon, taking into account the increased demand for recreational vehicles, accessibility problems and horrendous prices, it is not difficult to predict that this scourge could grow stronger. Information from motorhome / caravan owners about the loss of a beloved vehicle appears on social media forums at least once a week. The mere awareness of the disappearance of our second home is a traumatic experience, and the chances of recovery as everyone knows ...

Often, in the articles we publish, we talk about the resale value of specific brands and models. We also analyze the purchase prices and compare them with other models. Seemingly very similar structures can be divided by the price gap, and often 10-year-old structures reach prices of new ones - similar at first glance. Today we will deal with the price differences. Why? If you are just entering the world of motorhomes and caravans and planning to buy your first vehicle, it is worth knowing the most important differences as well as facts and myths about the most important &quot;price-generating&quot; factors. This knowledge will also help you understand the market and prepare for the purchase properly.
