Traveling in a motorhome can be a real pleasure. However, we should not forget about the observance of basic safety rules. After all, we don't want reckless behavior to spoil our trip!. Safe driving is not only about acting, it is also about refraining from performing certain activities. What kind?. Remember that you should not transport loose, unsecured items in the motorhome. This applies to bottles, cans and packaging in the refrigerator, cookware, cutlery and any other items. Pots should be arranged in cupboards so that they do not move and do not make noise while driving. The same applies to cutlery, plates, glasses, etc. It is best to wrap them with paper, and knives, forks and spoons with, for example, bubble wrap. This way you will save yourself annoying noises while traveling.

Every camper and caravan enthusiast is just waiting for the slogan "the end of the coronavirus epidemic". Let's be positive and think about proper preparation for the upcoming summer caravanning season today. The Elcamp Group online store operates continuously and fulfills all orders on an ongoing basis. The current situation not only in our industry, but in the entire global economy, in short, is not impressive. However, we are optimistic and look forward to the coming months with hope, dreaming of near and far journeys.

The epidemic will end. Get ready for the caravanning season

Imagine a camper whose basic equipment allows you to simply get in, start the engine and set off on a multi-month journey. Without the need to equip it with any additional devices. Imagine a luxurious camper commonly called a "Liner", but still in a compact size, not resembling a huge cruise bus. This is the PLATIN model produced in the German FRANKIA factory. I had the opportunity to test this camper for 3 weeks with my family at the turn of 2019/2020. We drove this camper about 2,500 km on highways and very winding and steep mountain passes, we traveled around large cities and villages, and we spent wonderful Christmas and New Year's Eve in this camper.

Northern Italy tempts tourists with the landscapes of the Alps, as well as Venice, known for its romantic canals with gondolas. In some areas, time seems to stand still, and this is how it attracts visitors from all over the world. But even the most attractive points on the "must see" list can tire (especially since they are on the list of thousands of other people who came there at the same time), so many people at the end of the day only dream about rest . They want to find accommodation and gain strength before their next trips. Waiting for them include Camping Sabbiadoro .

Is traveling with a child possible? Sure! Is it possible to go camping with a child? Of course, at least some things are definitely changing. Below are some points that we paid attention to during recent years of traveling with children. I would also like to draw attention to what has NOT changed. Traveling with small children does not mean that a camping trip will be more expensive. Many campsites will not charge a single penny for children under 2 years of age. They will charge much less for those up to 6 years of age. Travel costs remain unchanged, indeed! Even going to a restaurant doesn't cost much because children usually eat off our plate.

The French brand of Pilote motorhomes has been operating on the European market since exactly 1978. This is enough time to be able to describe your products as extremely refined. Time, however, inexorably passes, customer expectations are changing, so Pilote follows these changes. Day salons in a "face-to-face" arrangement, new models or an upgrade of the current standard are only a part of all planned activities for the 2020 season. It is not a novelty (the solution was introduced in 2019), but it was so warmly received by customers that it is also continued in the 2020 season. It is a face-to-face living room, which can be found in vehicles with the "FC" series.

What do we need at home first? Toilets. The same is true for a motorhome or caravan. It is a certain indicator of independence in travel. But how to operate the toilet in the motorhome?. Of course, when possible, it is best to use the sanitary facilities at campsites, parking lots and other places, and keep the "home" restroom for special occasions. However, there is nothing to cheat, even the rarely used toilet will have to be emptied one day. Chemical toilets are made of two parts, separated by a latch. In the lower part, impurities accumulate, and the upper part is a shell with a cover and (most often) a water tank for flushing the toilet.

The vast majority of new motorhomes are sold in Poland "by company", that is, to put it simply, such vehicles are bought by entrepreneurs, owners of small and large enterprises. What if the motorhome was used at every possible opportunity? Create a mobile office out of it? Do not look at the offer of hotels or apartments? Let's not forget about the safety of such work and travel, which is especially important today, during the coronavirus epidemic. Currently, in our country it is forbidden to conduct activities related to short-term (less than one month) rental of premises. We are talking about cabins at campsites, apartments, hotels. The ban affects not only tourists, but also all those who have to travel around the country for business reasons.

We often underestimate what we have just "behind the fence". So maybe it's time to check out the offer of campsites in Poland? More and more cool resorts are being built here, and regardless of whether you choose to stay in a house or a tent, in a camper or caravan - camping is a great place to spend a family holiday! In this article, we share information about how much it costs to rent both a camping house and a plot of land on which you can put your tent, trailer or camper.

Although over 70% of the Karkonosze area belongs to our southern neighbors, on the Polish side there are several wonderful attractions that the Czechs can envy us.

There is the City Toy Museum, water parks and an all-year-round ice rink. There is also a rope park, a toboggan run in summer, and ski runs and lifts in winter, so enthusiasts of active leisure will also be pleased to relax at the foot of the Giant Mountains . Apart from Śnieżka, the highest peak in the Karkonosze Mountains, you can climb Kopa or Smogornia and climb the surrounding rocks (including Raven Rocks, Pilgrims, Słonecznik). A moment of attention should also be given to the Wild Waterfall, located near the lower cableway station to Kopa. It is the dam that was built at the beginning of the 20th century to subdue the Łomnica river, a river that has repeatedly shown what it can do when its dammed waters gain speed.
