- Travel Trends for 2022
It's that time of year again, when we all reset and start planning for another twelve months. We don't know about you, but we are ready for new adventures that are not within four walls! After two years of uncertainty in tourism, there is now some positivity and a certain buzz about the return to travel and what it will look like in the future. From vacationing locally to working on the road, we explore the travel trends we hope to see in 2022. Social (media) distance Spent more time on your phone during lockdown than sharing? Don't worry, we've all done it. After spending more time indoors than usual over the past two years, social media platforms have quickly become our new best friends. While social media isn't going anywhere anytime soon, you definitely should. Digital Detoxes, Unplug Vacations, Disconnect Day Trips… whatever change you make, vacations where you truly disconnect from technology are going to be even more popular next year. The best part is that you don't have to pay through the roof for fancy retreats. Jump in your car or RV, go out into the wilderness, and enjoy not having a WIFI connection. spending time in nature This brings us nicely on train number two, spending more time in nature. We're not sure if it's because we've been indoors for too long or our simple love of the outdoors – but vacations that involve the natural world and outdoor activities like hiking, biking, or swimming will top the list. many. This could include wellness trips where you do yoga alongside the sunrise, or hiking vacations where you experience real physical exertion. We also predict that more people will be adding nature events to their travel lists than ever before to see some of nature's best. We tend to marvel at things that remind us of the power of nature, whether it's the northern lights, huge waterfalls, or unique landscapes. After the last two years, we are ready to be enchanted again!

- Renting, buying or sharing a caravan?
Renting is the first step to buying a #caravan. The main advantage of renting is that you can thoroughly test your dream model while on vacation. This means that there is no risk that the chosen floor plan will not be suitable after purchase. Depending on the model and season, the cost per rental day is between 40 and 80 Euros. If you want to rent a camper for the first time, you should check out our camper rental tips beforehand. Sharing of camping vehicles, especially camping buses and minibuses, is very fashionable. However, caravans are also offered for rent by private individuals on sharing portals on the Internet. But be careful: if you rent a caravan from a private person, you must make sure that he too is registered and insured as a rental car! Buying a camper van: new or used? If you have decided to buy a new camper van, you should review the point-to-point sales agreement with the dealer. Does the contract include everything the seller promised verbally? For example, if extras or promised additional services are missing, they must be included in the contract. Buying caravans at fairs - this is also possible. But be careful: Not every so-called trade show bargain is truly one – especially if you have to travel a few hundred kilometers to the dealer in the event of a complaint. In addition, wrong decisions are often made under time pressure - so it's better to think a little more and sleep again for a night. Many campers also choose to purchase a used camper van. Buying from a motorhome dealer is the safer option here as the seller must be legally liable for material defects for one year. Buying second hand privately is always risky and is not recommended for motorhome beginners without proper experience. Buying used - a cheap entry? Shows what to look for when buying a used caravan . Properly insure the caravan Partially or fully covered, covered and deductible - which motorhome insurance is right? Anyone who takes a close look at the topic of motorhome insurance can save a lot of money - in case of damage they have problems. There are agents and brokers on the market that specialize in recreational vehicle insurance. These often offer cheaper rates than traditional motor insurance companies. Important: RV insurance only covers the amount covered in the policy. So check the contract carefully and don't save it in the wrong place. In the article Which insurance is correct? We show you everything you need to consider when choosing insurance. Camping accessories: You should take this equipment with you. If you want to have a camping holiday, you need a lot of equipment besides the caravan. Not only for living in the trailer, but also for use at the campsite. If you don't think twice about packing, you'll be frustrated if essential caravan accessories are missing after you arrive at your resort. In general, the following applies: The storage space and possible load in the caravan are limited. Therefore, the packing list should be well thought through and unnecessary weight should be avoided. But some things are only necessary for a camping holiday. The following camping accessories must be brought with you on vacation. Important camping accessories camping furniture When camping, a lot happens outside - so camping chairs and a camping table are a must. If you want to cook outside or in an awning, you also need a portable (folding or collapsible) camp kitchen. gas bottle The gas cylinder would be uncomfortable without it, because it is also an essential caravan accessory. Gas is used not only for cooking, but also for heating and heating water. In addition, modern absorption refrigerators automatically switch to gas operation in the absence of electricity. Grill and camping stove If you want to grill and cook outside, you need a grill and a camping stove. Of course, besides kitchen utensils, camping dishes and cutlery are also part of the equipment. Cable drum and CEE adapter cable Cable reels with CEE plugs are mandatory at campsites. As a precaution, a CEE adapter cable must also be on board if no CEE connection is available. toilet additive In order for the cassette toilet to function logically in the caravan, an additive (liquid, powder or tablet) is required that prevents the deterioration of stool and thus reduces odour. water hose / jerry can A water hose is required to supply fresh water to the caravan . If the campground does not have a direct water connection to the site, only central water intake points, a can or a standard watering can will provide valuable services. Additional mirror Additional mirrors in the towing vehicle are not usually mandatory for a caravan combination, but are required in most cases as the driver must be able to see the traffic behind.
- Guide to buying a caravan
Demand for #camp vacations is exploding. Traveling by caravan – whether for rent or with your own caravan – is very popular.

And if you want to know more, you will find additional information in later articles. typology From the sparsely equipped compact caravan, to the two-seater caravan for travel, to family caravans with bunk beds for children and luxury caravans with every imaginable comfort, to sports caravans for the active sports enthusiast and tented caravans for those especially close to nature: the different types of caravans are initially confusing for beginners. it could be. There are such caravans compact caravan Caravans with a trunk length of less than four meters are among the compact caravans. They are light, have good driving characteristics and can usually be towed by less powerful towing vehicles. However, due to their compact size, they offer little space and storage space inside. two seater caravan The two seater caravan is the classic touring Caravan with two permanent piers and above a certain level of comfort. It offers a generous amount of space and often lots of storage. The sitting area can often be converted to accommodate more beds. family caravan Family caravans offer plenty of play space and bunk beds for children . They are mostly equipped for children and have enough storage space for toys and entertainment equipment. As they are usually relatively large and heavy, a powerful towing vehicle is usually required. luxury caravan Luxury caravans combine sophisticated, complete equipment with exceptional design and prestige. They offer quality materials and high-quality craftsmanship, but are relatively heavy and expensive to purchase. sports caravan Campers with large sports or recreational equipment need a lot of space - that's what custom sports caravans offer. These are models with a wide tailgate or a large tailgate. Once installed, living in it is often no longer possible, or only to a very limited extent. tent caravan Tent caravans are an inexpensive alternative to traditional caravans. They bridge the gap between classic home tents and caravans, they are available in many versions and sizes. Tent caravans are also suitable for smaller towing vehicles as they are light and handy. It is relatively noisy as the walls are made of fabric. this is a trailer Onboard electronics Without the mains, nothing will work in the caravan - not only because of the lighting suitable for StVZO, but also on board there is an advanced system of power consumers, sockets and lighting. If you want to stand independently or have an electric maneuver drive, you also need a built-in battery. Windows, doors, sashes, skylights The windows in the caravan can often be opened or slid, while roller blinds or pleated blinds provide blackout and pest protection. The door is split in one piece or diagonally in the middle and includes an integrated step in the Coupé entrance. Wings on the side wall provide access to storage space under beds or sofa chests, skylights let in bright and fresh air. kitchen The kitchen block, which brings together all the activities related to eating, has become a comfort element in the trailer. There is a gas hob (usually three burners), a sink with faucet, a refrigerator with a freezer compartment (sometimes facing the kitchen), and several upper and lower cabinets. bath Putting on makeup, brushing teeth or doing a small job – the bathroom in the trailer is more important than ever. Although every campground has at least one laundry room, bathrooms have grown significantly in recent years. The spectrum ranges from the mini wet room with folding sink to the large bathroom with separate shower. beds Depending on the floor plan, a caravan has single beds, double beds, longitudinal double beds (French beds), queen beds with entrances from both sides, and bunk beds for children. For nearly a decade, pull-out beds, originally from caravan construction, have also found their way into caravans. Heating, tanks A gas-fired recirculating air heater is usually built into the caravan. The heat is supplied to several outlet openings via a system of tubes. Gas hot water heating systems are less common. Almost every caravan has a fresh water tank. There are mobile or permanently installed tanks for wastewater. sitting area Depending on the floor plan, the caravan has a round seating group (U-shaped), a side seating group (dinette) or a longitudinal seating group. The desk is either freestanding or hung from a wall rail. Often times the sofa can also be converted, creating additional sleeping areas in the caravan. storage space There is storage space for camping gear and luggage in the upper, lower and wardrobes, under beds and desks. In family settlements with bunk beds at the back, the lower bed can often be folded up, creating a garage for bicycles or larger sports equipment. gas The gas system is used to supply consumers such as a stove, heating or refrigerator. The gas bottles required for this - usually two eleven-kilogram bottles - are inside the gas bottle chest. Some caravans also have an external gas outlet that can be used to power the grill. The right towing vehicle If you want to tow a trailer, you need a suitable towing vehicle. One of the most important criteria when choosing is the towing capacity . For example, if you want to tow a caravan with a gross vehicle weight of 1,600 kilograms, you should look for a vehicle with a trailer load of at least 1.8 tons. Then there are still reserves in terms of stability, power and performance. In trailer operation, the cooling system, the brakes and the clutch are also heavily stressed in the case of a manual switch. Therefore, these components should be designed accordingly. Also, the question arises: petrol, diesel or an alternative drive? In trailer operation, torque is particularly important at low engine speeds - and diesel has a clear advantage here. But a powerful (turbo) petrol engine with a particulate filter can also be an alternative – especially in times of diesel driving bans and diesel exhaust scandals. Alternative drives such as hybrid or natural gas powered vehicles have so far played a secondary role due to their low trailer loads and range or perforated gas station networks. However, other points are decisive for suitability as a towing vehicle. For example, a small rear overhang provides greater driving stability in the trailer. Because the small distance between the connecting ball and the contact area of the rear wheels creates a short lever. This means that trailer movements have less impact on the towing vehicle. Also, the longest possible wheelbase makes the car more stable. Detachable, rotatable or - significantly cheaper - rigid trailer hitch is a matter of taste.

- Travelling with your family during COVID-19
Tips and advice for protecting your family when you’re away from home. #Travelling is a part of life for families across the globe – be it for necessity or recreation. But the COVID-19 pandemic is not over, and travel continues to be risky and complicated in many parts of the world. If you and your loved ones need to travel, here are some tips to consider to help you do so more safely. Is it okay to travel during the COVID-19 pandemic? All travel comes with some risk of getting or spreading COVID-19. Before you travel, check if COVID-19 is spreading in your local area and in any of the places you are going. Do not travel if you or your family are sick, have any symptoms of COVID-19 or have been around someone with COVID-19 in the past 14 days. Unvaccinated family members who are at higher risk for severe illness (older family members, those with underlying medical conditions) should consider postponing all travel until they are fully vaccinated. Also consider postponing for the time being any visits to unvaccinated family members or friends who are more likely to get very ill from COVID-19. Is it safe to travel after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine? Travel, like any activity that involves coming into contact with other people from different households, is not risk-free even after full vaccination against COVID-19. The good news is that having the required number of doses and giving time for the vaccines to take effect significantly reduces your risk of becoming seriously ill and spreading the virus to others. For two-dose COVID-19 vaccines, the protection provided is only partial after the first dose, and time is needed – typically 2 weeks – after the second dose before you are considered to be fully protected. For a one-dose vaccine, maximum protection against COVID-19 begins a few weeks after receiving your shot. It is important to remember that that no vaccine provides 100 per cent protection against COVID-19, so check local guidance at your destination and the COVID-19 transmission and vaccination rates to inform the level of precautions you should take. > What safety precautions should we take while travelling? > What you need to know before, during and after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine I’ve recovered from COVID-19. Do I still need to get vaccinated before traveling? It is recommended that people who have previously been infected by COVID-19 are still vaccinated, whether travelling or not. The majority of people who are infected produce some antibodies and immune cells that can fight off infection, but the immune response varies significantly and it is unclear how long this protection lasts. In people who were only mildly ill, the immune protection that can prevent a second infection may decline within a few months. Remember, getting vaccinated isn’t just about protecting yourself – you’re protecting those around you, too. How should we prepare to travel together as a family? If you do choose to travel, check for any travel restrictions, stay-at-home orders, quarantining and testing requirements in your local area, and all places you’re planning to visit (check websites of Ministries of Health, Ministries of Foreign Affairs and local health authorities). Keep in mind, these policies may change with little advance notice and your travel plans may be disrupted. Also carefully check the travel requirements of your airline carrier. If you or your family are exposed to a person infected with COVID-19 during your trip, you may be isolated or quarantined and your return may be delayed. Some healthcare systems are overwhelmed and there may be limited access to adequate medical care in affected areas if you or your family become ill or are injured during the trip. It’s worth reviewing your health or travel insurance to check #COVID-19 related coverage and any limitations. Check ahead what options are available at your destination for transport, food and accommodation. Remember that some businesses and services may be fully or partially disrupted in affected areas, including public transport, shops and restaurants, as well as popular tourist attractions – so check for the latest information on changes to services and procedures. Additional considerations include: Before travelling , make sure you and your family are up to date with your routine vaccinations as recommended by your local health authorities, such as the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine, the seasonal flu vaccine, but also any other vaccines required at your destination such as the yellow fever vaccine. Make sure any family members taking medications bring enough to last for the entire trip. Try to avoid travel where physical distancing may be difficult for prolonged periods. Plan to avoid travelling at peak times and take routes that are less congested wherever possible. If using public transport, follow any local recommended precautions ( here are some key ones ). Try to limit your contact with frequently touched surfaces and wash or sanitize your hands frequently. Keep a row of seats between yourself and other travellers where possible. If travelling in a private vehicle, try to keep stops to a minimum by bringing sufficient food and drinks. During your trip, plan to avoid visiting crowded spaces, poorly ventilated enclosed spaces, as well as any social or mass gatherings such as concerts, events and parties. Plan to bring your own food and drinks where possible. What should we do if we plan to spend the night away from home? If you plan to stay at a hotel or other accommodation, check in advance what prevention measures they have in place: Are staff wearing masks at work and practicing physical distancing? Are extra precautions in place, such as plexiglass barriers at check-in, modified layouts or barriers to allow for physical distancing between all staff, guests and visitors in the lobby, elevators and common areas? Is there an appropriate ventilation system in place? Is the hotel implementing updated policies for cleaning and disinfection? When you arrive, disinfect any high touch surfaces in your room, including keys, doorknobs, remote controls, etc. If possible, open windows to help ventilate the room on your arrival. Consider requesting no cleaning or other room services to minimize the number of people outside your family in the room during your stay. > Read: COVID-19 cleaning tips What safety precautions should we take while travelling? While travelling, all parents and caregivers should take standard precautions for themselves and their children: Avoid crowded places, confined and enclosed spaces with poor ventilation Try to keep a physical distance of at least 1 metre from people in public Wear masks when in public places where COVID-19 is widespread and physical distancing is not possible > Read more on mask tips for families Wash your hands frequently using soap and water or an alcohol-based hand rub > Read more on handwashing Avoid touching your face (eyes, nose, mouth) Regularly clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces like phones, keys, doorknobs, light switches etc > Read more on COVID-19 cleaning tips If you decide to eat outside, consider the safest dining options. Eating outdoors or ordering take-out has less risk than eating indoors. Don’t forget to wash or sanitize your hands before eating. > Read more on staying safe outdoors Seek medical care early if you or your child has a fever, cough, difficulty breathing or other symptoms of COVID-19 What should we do when we return home? After you return home, follow recommendations or requirements from your national or local authorities, and continue to follow all the key precautions – including watching for any symptoms of COVID-19 and seeking medical advice if they develop.

- THE HISTORY OF THE CARAVAN BBQ
Cooking on the fire is not an idea born at the same time as grilling, its primitive roots go back 1.8 million years. Homo Erectus was actually the first humanoid to use primitive tools and fire to cook their own food, and we have testimonies coming to us from cave paintings of how our ancestors roasted meat in holes in cave walls. ground. For this reason, it can be said that barbecue developed in parallel with the history of humanity in a sense. BBQ or Barbacoa It's actually the same thing: the first word is derived from the second. Barbacoa is a Spanish term that was added to the dictionary in 1526 by the Spanish explorer Gonzalo Fernández De Oviedo y Valdés. In contrast, the root is probably derived from barabicu, used by the Arawak people of the Caribbean. At this point in our history, cooking meat had become a practice similar to what we know now: The first Europeans to travel through Central and South America noticed that local peoples roasted meat by skewering it with sticks or placing it on grills made of grates. Wood. It was also common to season meat with spices or wrap it in the leaves of aromatic herbs. modern barbecue The first device for grilling using charcoal seems to have been made in 1921 by Henry Ford on a drawing by Thomas Edison, two characters we know well for many inventions that make our lives more comfortable but perhaps never even dreamed of finding. Associated with the world of barbecue! Many countries around the world have gradually developed special grilling techniques with different names: just think of Argentine asado or Brazilian churrasco. cooking outdoors.
