Presented during a press conference last week, the Chausson X550 follows a completely new path. It also becomes a symbol of the newly emerging segment. The combination of a semi-integrated frame and a sheet metal frame is intended to provide the greatest possible comfort and space typical of traditional campers with the agility and mobility of small delivery vehicles . From the outside, the vehicle is 599 cm long, 275 cm high and only 210 cm wide. In terms of the sense of space inside, it is not inferior to traditional campers - but more on that in a moment.

From now on, in Lower Saxony, overnight stays in motorhomes and other vehicles in public spaces for tourism purposes are prohibited. Campsites and parking spaces subject to a long-term rental agreement are excluded from the ban. German internet users and caravanning enthusiasts, embraced in their everyday life by a wave of far-reaching restrictions, do not mince words before Christmas. Returning to "normality" is a spontaneously articulated desire, just like in our case. However, there will also be words of support for the legislator and criticism for those who disregard the restrictions. The prevailing comments try to emphasize the seriousness of the situation, the new strains of the virus and the important aspect of showing social solidarity. Giving up the luxury of using a motorhome would be one of the manifestations of such solidarity.

When thinking about how to decorate their car, more and more people decide to change or refresh the paintwork or add decorative elements to the car's body (e.g. stickers). These are relatively inexpensive and aesthetic solutions that allow you to give your car a second life, thus increasing its attractiveness. It is no different in the case of motorhomes or caravans, which on the road are a natural extension of the driver's home and his friends or family. In such cases, it may be a good solution to replace the wheels, the core of which will be durable alloy wheels. Contrary to popular belief, motorhome alloy wheels are not that difficult to access, and their installation can also improve the performance of the car. Check what to consider when choosing aluminum rims for a motorhome and see how they can positively affect the vehicle's performance.

Apart from the legal obligation applicable in many countries and possible liability for damages, let us first and foremost ensure the safety of ourselves and our loved ones while driving . Let's not let the onslaught of winter, snow and low temperatures take away the joy of caravanning . Due to the pandemic , a year-round camper is now the norm and must cope with even the most difficult conditions. However, let us bear in mind the fact that the weight of our vehicles in practice is usually at least 3.5 tons. In percentage terms, the largest part of this mass falls on the rear of the vehicle, i.e. the body. Most often, front-wheel drive, heavy cars have difficulty coping on surfaces with reduced traction properties. This makes it all the more important to choose the right tires adapted to the weather conditions and the specific nature of the vehicle.

The new concept of Adria is groundbreaking in many respects - especially in terms of design. The Slovenian manufacturer set itself the task of creating a mobile home with the functionality of a caravan . The result of work on this project are three systems introduced to the market with the markings 704HP, 754DP and 904HP. The marketing message shows that the manufacturer himself would not like to attach a specific patch to his designs. On the one hand, it emphasizes space, comfort and benefits for customers looking for a holiday home on wheels. We can take this house out of the season without any problems from the parking place. On the other hand, Adria Astella will be an excellent and comfortable partner in holiday travels to the farthest corners. The designers also focused on the aerodynamics of the structure and proven AL-KO solutions that increase the safety and comfort of travel.

Modern caravans , and especially campers, are mostly immediately equipped with appropriate heating systems . However, if you need to make the right heating purchase yourself, you will need some information. Heating devices should be adapted to both the way the motorhome is used and its size. The principle is simple - the smallest stoves are enough for small caravans, while the largest ones should be installed in large caravans and motorhomes. And so, among the most popular gas stoves on the market by the German company Truma , the smallest will be the S2200 model. It uses 30 to 280 grams of propane-butane gas per hour and produces a rated heat output of 1,850 W.

When planning a vacation in Istria , we can imagine crystal clear water, sun overhead and green vegetation in the background. Kilometers of beaches with the Blue Flag status and a huge accommodation base are the main but not the only advantages of the region. Every year, thousands of people spend their holidays in Istria , but not all plan just blissful relaxation on a blanket or a deckchair. Tourists are also attracted by the rich history, even richer fauna and flora as well as extensive infrastructure aimed especially at families with children. Many of these people visit the vicinity of Pula and, by the way, go on a trip to the Brijuni National Park (Brijuni Islands). Find out what they are tempted by the archipelago of 14 islands, of which the two largest, Veli Brijun and Mali Brijun, are available to visitors.

Italy's tourist infrastructure is among the best in the world. Hundreds of huge complexes and smaller recreation centers are only a fraction of the varied accommodation offer. Everyone will find something for themselves here, from a range of small campsites, larger family resorts and huge self-sufficient resorts. It is not without reason that a number of facilities located in Italy have four- and five-star status. The amenities and comfort they offer to guests attract those tourists who love relaxation in the bosom of nature, but do not intend to give up the comforts of a hotel. Which campsites are worth paying special attention to when planning a holiday in Italy?.

The best five-star campsites in Italy

South Tyrol is a mysterious and somewhat demanding land. The omnipresent mountains (and not just any mountains - the Eastern Alps are the most beautiful in all of Europe) and unpredictable weather make a holiday in this region always an amazing event. A stay here recharges your batteries and at the same time teaches you that you need to be well prepared before hitting the trails. What delights tourists as much as the majesty of the mountain peaks is the lush greenery of the forests. No wonder, after all, these areas are considered the greenest in all of Italy. Vacationers are attracted by kilometers of hiking and skiing trails, wonderful colorful towns and delicious local cuisine. We highly recommend you to come to Trento and stay at one of the campsites. If you require comfortable conditions, you will love Caravan Park Sexten - a campsite and hotel with a swimming pool .
