You don't have to be afraid of large motorhomes! We found out about it during the trip from Krakow through Bieszczady, Krosno, Sandomierz and ending in Bielsko-Biała. We traveled in a motorhome Carthago Chic C-Line 5.9 XL with a length of 840 cm. We usually test motorhomes with a gross vehicle weight of up to 3.5 tons - such vehicles are the most popular in Poland, because in order to move them, a category B driving license is enough. However, there are problems with small motorhomes. Manufacturers are trying to fit in the "mythical" range of up to 3.5 tons, which makes the car approach this value even without luggage and passengers. It is easy to tow it then - just a few bikes and a few passengers who have a diet just ahead of them, and it may turn out that the motorhome will not pass the weight test.

RAPIDO is another motorhome manufacturer that, on the wave of caravanning popularity, has prepared a lot of new products for the 2021 season. A completely new series of vehicles marked with the letter "C", a new look, both inside and outside, redesigned each room and, last but not least , modern camper vans that are simply pretty. Only this and so much. There are so many changes in the RAPIDO brand that the press package prepared for journalists has as many as 25 A4 pages. In short, it will be something to write about. Let's start with, for example, a new series of compact, semi-integrated motorhomes. They were named with the letter "C". They surprise with the available space inside, which is influenced by the usable width in the middle - up to 2.17 m. Designers also added a new panoramic window "SKYVIEW", which significantly influenced the design of the entire vehicle. It is curved, made of strong glass, which additionally protects the interior from harmful UV rays. Heat loss? Not in this case. Another thought was done by installing an additional TRUMA heating duct directed at SKYVIEW.

New series, new vans, new Rapido for the 2021 season

Holidays are a time of carefreeness and fun, at least until something happens. This "something" could be a sprained leg, a sudden illness or the need to seek dental help abroad. The financial consequences of such unpleasant surprises will not allow us to forget about our vacation for a long time. When preparing for a longer camper trip, we usually make a list of things to take, pack the necessary clothes, medicines and food. We designate the route and choose the places we would like to visit along the way. Vacation is a pleasant, long-awaited time of the year. Few people think about the dangers that may arise while resting. However, it is worth being pessimistic for a while, because it allows you to protect yourself against the unpleasant effects of various events.

Austria is one of Europe's favorite countries to satisfy your appetite for mountain adventures. The view itself offers unforgettable moments, tempting you with its peaks, regardless of the season. The mountainous terrain, forests and meadows allow for incredible contact with nature, which is undoubtedly their great advantage. However, being away from the towering concrete and glass buildings, observation is not enough. Peaceful hikes along alpine paths, high-mountain climbs to the Großglockner peak, or a walk through the Glockner gorge are a pleasant duty for every tourist. Ski lovers will also have plenty of attractions on winter days on one of the nearby slopes.

A camper or trailer is a serious expense. Therefore, it is worth taking care of them, starting with insurance . And it turns out that there are virtually no policies dedicated to caravanners on the Polish market. In fact, most popular comparison websites do not even include this type of cars in their calculators. Many insurance agents or brokers, when asked about the offer of insurance for motorhomes , throw up their hands helplessly, admitting that, unfortunately, they are not specialists in this industry. They offer standard products that do not fit perfectly.

Corsica is a real pearl of the French Mediterranean. Called the Island of Beauty (Île de Beauté), it also delights with its natural landscapes and surprises with its wild, inaccessible nature, so different from the well-known Greek or Croatian islands. Breathtaking travelers visiting the region are taken away by charming capes, beautiful beaches, magnificent mountains, nature reserves and picturesque cities, towns and villages where it is worth getting lost during a camper trip. Note - while admiring the island, watch out for cows, sheep and goats lying on the roads. And of course, get acquainted with the history of the island related to Napoleon and the corsairs, as well as try the best Corsican cuisine.

Two days in Arco di Trento, in the Garda Trentino area? It may not be much, but with good organization it is enough to experience the wonderful atmosphere of a city located a bit from Lake Garda. The biggest attraction is undoubtedly the famous castle towering over the village, popular especially among painters and poets. Art Nouveau villas, elegant gardens and buildings all catch the eye as a living trace of the former Habsburg Empire. As there is a specific microclimate here, Arco has always had a reputation as a health resort for people suffering from respiratory diseases. It was also a favorite place of the then aristocracy, especially representatives of the aforementioned dynasty, who liked to come here to improve their health. The mild climate and moderate temperatures made it worth visiting even in winter.

2 days in Arco, occasion, memory of the Habsburg Empire

This year, caravanning is undergoing a real siege. Both caravans and motorhomes sell like the proverbial "hot cakes". Most dealerships in Poland seem to be empty. So what to do if we would like to buy our own "house on wheels" this summer? It is enough to go to the Elcamp RV showroom in Krakow, which still can boast of several caravans and motorhomes available "on the spot". Caravans are the most popular in Poland. Many more are sold than motorhomes. An interesting proposition, therefore, is Adria Adora 673 PK, which has a total of 7 sleeping places . It is 735 cm long (without the drawbar) and 260 cm high, and its GVM is 2 tons. About 300 kilograms are left for the additional weight after full retrofitting. The manufacturer, the Slovenian brand Adria, provides a seven-year warranty on tightness. This is very important because Adora is fully prepared for use also in winter. On board we find solid insulation and efficient Truma Combi heating in the latest version 6E. In addition, there is an oven, a stove, a Bluetooth sound system and a TV holder.
