As every year, we come back to the topic of overcharging the motorhome. The boom in the vehicle sales market also causes the growing interest of road services, which are starting to enforce penalties for not adjusting the weight to the motorhomes written in the documents. Yes, ladies and gentlemen. You can see us on the roads. And on a scale that just a few years ago no one would have been able to predict. The regulations in force in the EU and in Poland regarding the possibility of using vehicles with a maximum permissible weight of up to 3.5 tons for a category "B" driving license are one reason.

What is bikepacking? This is traveling for lovers of two-wheelers in the style of "fast and light", that is, fast and light! Bikepacking combines the satisfaction of riding a lightly packed bike with the possibility of visiting new places. Thanks to specially selected bags, we pack minimal but necessary luggage, thanks to which the bike is not overloaded, still remains maneuverable, and we can go on a multi-day trip through forests, mountain trails and other areas. Although bikepacking was born in the USA and its beginning was long-distance mountain races , today it is very popular all over the world, constituting a completely new type of cycling tourism. So it's time to arm your bike with the right bags and go on tour! What to take for a longer trip?.

Bikepacking - we arm the bike and on the road!

A Pole can ... And indeed, often the ingenuity and resourcefulness of our countrymen fill us with pride and optimism. However, not this time, as our today's hero showed a unique imagination (or rather the lack of it), as well as a lack of respect for the law (including the laws of physics).

The result was as surprising as it was difficult to comprehend. The weight indication stopped at 6.7 tons, while the DMC of the vehicle recorded in the registration certificate was (and how!) 3500 kg.

I fondly remember the times when, as a boy, I observed scenes of neighbors helping to set up the trailer at every campsite. Whenever there was a problem, after disconnecting the tow truck, a neighbor (or several) appeared almost immediately and the problem was "under control" in a blink of an eye. Everyone helped by pushing, pulling and positioning as much as they could. Such manifestations of human kindness united and built bonds and belonging to the group centered around this beautiful hobby.

The history of the Rapido group began in 1948, when the carpenter - artist Constant ROUSSEAU decided to start his own business in Châtillon-sur-Colmont. His first workshop was in a room of an ordinary residential building, and his main activity was the production of individual furniture. Soon the number of employees increased to 15 people. In 1958, Constant built the first foldable caravan for himself and his family. This project turned out to be decisive for the future of the company and set the path for further development in the 1960s. Its inventor was awarded many times for the construction of the caravan, and already in 1961, after returning from vacation in Italy, Rousseau gave his "child" the name - RAPIDO .

To prevent deterioration of the battery, it is recommended to fully charge it before storing it for a long time. A battery is not a passive material like metal or plastic - it contains chemical compounds that constantly react between them, even when the battery is not in use. Natural battery degradation can be prevented or significantly slowed down with proper maintenance. A little boost is better than no charge, but there are a few ways to make it more efficient. Marine & Leisure batteries should not be completely discharged. Full discharge shortens their life and reduces capacity. To avoid this, the batteries should be recharged whenever the open circuit voltage drops below 12.5 V.
