I’m sure you’ve noticed that I call everything a caravan. I quite like it that way, and I’m not going to lie, it’s easier for me that way. After all, there’s only one caravanning too. We don’t call this hobby RVing or motorhoming. So it makes no difference to me…

NEW POSTS FROM VANLIFE
I often come across the opinion that a van for camping without a campsite should be as secretive as possible. In my opinion and experience this is not necessary at all. If you park a big white van with basketball signs somewhere in the centre of Nice, you’re bound to…
View moreI take the converted van destined for the campsite as a more comfortable tent. The van does not need to have a sophisticated waste system for cooking, electric or gas system. In campgrounds, you can cook either in front of the van or in rooms designed for that purpose. California…
View moreIf you’ve never had a camper van or caravan, first find out what you actually need. I assume you’ve chosen the type of van best suited to you. However, you don’t know what you really need, what interior layout would be best for you and whether you actually need a…

San Daniele del Friuli is a village in the north-east of Italy. We visit it quite often, I would say every year. The reason is its quite good position close to the motorway from Austria to Italy. How far is San Daniele from the motorway + price for motorway toll…
View moreGrado is a small but pretty town north of Venice. When I’ve talked to other caravanners about it, most people don’t know it at all and have never been to Grado by caravan. Grado has a very nice little centre. There are boats parked right in the center, there is…
View moreWe have been to Florence twice. Once about ten years ago in the summer, when we were travelling around Europe by car. We slept in a campsite in Pisa and only went to Florence for a day trip. The last time we were in Florence was in the fall. I…
View moreTarifa is the southernmost point of continental Europe. It is only 32km to the port of Tangier in Morocco. Tarifa is a popular town where mainly windsurfers and kitesurfers travel. There is almost always a regular wind in Tarifa and the climate is pleasant all year round. We went to…
View moreI’d say like a regular vacation in a rented apartment. Depends what your habits are. Whether you make a habit of taking your whole pantry with you, or whether you prefer to sample local food. These are already priced quite reasonably in most countries (except the Nordic countries). It’s definitely…
View moreWhat you need in such a caravan is quite individual. Because a caravan holiday doesn’t mean you’ll be hanging out, or sitting on chairs in front of the caravan, or setting up a tent. We all have different habits and that’s fine. You just have to figure out what your…

January 22, 2022 I recommend the caravan show to everyone. In one place you have the opportunity to see, try and compare all the brands available in Europe. In addition to caravans, there are also manufacturers of accessories such as awnings, satellites or even manufacturers of equipment for campsites and caravan parks. How…

I definitely like the convenience of travelling and living in a caravan. No long 10 hour drives to be “on site” in the evening. We are on site…
View moreJanuary 18, 2022 The biggest crowd in the campsites is still during the high season. That’s why we mostly travel in the summer only locally around the surrounding area. If you don’t have school-age children, you’d better go caravanning in September. Everything will cost less, there will be less people everywhere and the…

However, I will try to mention the things you should definitely not forget before you go. Even if you do forget some of them, it’s not a problem to buy…
