To put it mildly, the past year has not been very kind to the tourism industry. Some facilities, however, took advantage of the stagnation to modernize. A perfect example is the Croatian camping Arena Grand Kažela , located in the Istrian County, in the municipality of Medulin. It awaits its guests with numerous new attractions. What does it offer tourists apart from its location in the southern part of the beautiful Istrian Peninsula or the proximity to the center of Medulin? Among other things, the fact that it has transformed into a year-round facility for caravanning fans. It also tempts with the longest swimming pool in Croatia and luxuriously furnished mobile homes , surrounded by lush greenery. And this is just the beginning of a large list of amenities for vacationers.

The segment of semi- integrated motorhomes is an important market for the Adria brand - both in terms of quantity and value. This is evidenced by the wide range of models and systems. The Slovenian manufacturer flawlessly recognizes the needs of the market and users. In each new model, we find changes and innovations that keep pace with the times. The Supreme 670 SL deserves special attention in the Matrix series. We had the opportunity to test a car with the same designation in 2018. Since then, however, the model has undergone many changes. Although the revolution is not visible from the front (the base is the proven Fiat Ducato ), the rear looks beautiful with modern LED lights, whose modern design at first glance refers to the latest trailers from the cult Astella series. The color scheme (so-called silver alu metallic) also stands out from most motorhomes. The vehicle is 290 cm high, 7485 mm long and has a total width of 2.3 m.

Probably everyone who drives a camper or caravan has experienced a power deficit on board. On the other hand, we are now accustomed to using many electrically powered devices on a daily basis. Therefore, it is hard for us to imagine their absence during shorter or longer camper trips. To receive electricity in our mobile home with a voltage of 230V, i.e. the same as in a home socket, we must connect the camper to the electricity network, e.g. at a campsite. Another way is to equip the camper with a voltage converter . One of the tasks of the converter is to change the 12V voltage (which we obtain directly from the battery) to 230V, which allows us to power devices such as laptops, mixers, drones, cameras, hair dryers, waffle irons, toasters, coffee machines, various types of chargers, etc.

In the era of more and more stringent exhaust emission standards and more and more common hybrid and purely electric drives, caravanning enthusiasts will face more and more challenges. Family cars and even popular SUVs receive standard-imposed units with cylinder capacities not exceeding 1.5 liters, often with insufficient power to tow caravans. Connecting additional ballast to a strictly electric vehicle in the form of a traditional trailer will dramatically reduce their range and may require multiple charging, even on short distances. This dilemma was taken to heart by the creators of the innovative trailer - Polydrops P17A , which (at least for now) is intended to relieve the electric tug and provide users with electric autonomy at a standstill.

Semi-integrated campers occupy an important place in our guide to choosing the right motorhome . They account for a large part of the sale of new cars in Poland. As it turns out, they can meet different needs, despite the very similar external appearance. We decided to use the example of two cars of the French manufacturer Pilote to compare motorhomes of this brand, almost identical from the outside - one for couples and small families ( P690GJ for 2-4 people) and one for a typical family (6-seater model P696S ).

The Fiat Ducato has been the leader in the motorhome market for many years. Why is it like that? How does the competition look like against it? Today we will take a closer look at the vehicles on the market. We will also describe the most important differences between them. It is hard to imagine that over a dozen or so years any vehicle undergoes only minor "lifting" changes. And yet the Fiat Ducato is a perfect example of this. The king of the motorhome market (as I think we can talk about it) has, on average, seized over 70% of this cake in recent years. However, apart from changing the shape of the headlamps and subtle modifications to the layout of the dashboard , engine replacement required by the EURO6d standard and a new gearbox, not much has happened here. The entire range of propulsion engines are units with a capacity of 2.3 liters, additionally subject to high excise duty.

Caravanning in Poland is experiencing a real boom, and a camping or motorhome-friendly place may turn out to be a profitable business.

Of course, it is difficult to present a ready-made recipe and consider the success of each place as repeatable. However, it is worth getting acquainted with the guide, co-created with an expert, who will help us highlight the topic.

The company ZIAD informed that in December last year it signed a new lease agreement for the area where the now defunct " Camping 99 near Dębowiec " was located. This place was especially popular with foreign tourists visiting Bielsko-Biała. The new tenant of the area turned out to be the owner of the restaurant operating on the campsite for several years. The land was leased after presenting the offer, which was more favorable for the company than the offer presented by the current tenant - said Grzegorz Jania, commercial director at ZIAD.

The camper market is experiencing a real explosion. Prices on the secondary market have skyrocketed, and factories can't keep up with orders for new vehicles. The product is therefore very scarce. In addition, when something interesting appears on the horizon, potential buyers literally "fight" to get the car they want. However, when looking for opportunities, it often happens that our vigilance is reduced. Since we are talking about camping vehicles related to our hobby and associated with pleasure, family and travel, we may not keep a sober mind in the purchasing process. Act impulsively, in a frenzy, often looking through rose-colored glasses. However, we must realize that this purchasing process is no different from purchasing a family car for everyday driving. In addition, we are talking about considerable amounts in these transactions.
