There are about a thousand possibilities for the interior layout of a motorhome. Every motorhomer requires something different. Just like in an apartment or a house, everyone arranges their furniture differently. In a motorhome, however, you can't move it around. What motorhome you buy, that's what you'll have until you...
Motorhomes are pretty expensive fun. Not even mentioning that most motorhomes are actually expensive Fiats. The lockers are like kinderwave, just don't touch anything so it doesn't fall off. Of course there are some quality brands, but they cost about 2x as much as the kindervac ones. We'll talk about...
Hiring a motorhome is, in my opinion, the cheapest way to find out if motorhoming is for you and what kind of motorhome to actually buy. Probably every motorhome owner I know has had at least one motorhome. Not because the previous one didn't work, but because something didn't suit...

A motorhome is like a hut on wheels. Inside it has shelving, cupboards with hangers and a relatively spacious fridge. The first motorhome we had was a six-metre Knaus semi-integrator, which had a pretty decent sized garage in addition to a million cupboards. The garage, that's a big storage room...
Buying a passenger car is a piece of cake. You choose your favourite model, colour and you're done. All passenger cars usually have 5 seats and a trunk. They differ only in size and subtly in optional equipment. The price of a motorhome or camper van is probably the first...
I recommend the motorhome show to everyone. In one place you have the opportunity to see, try and compare all the brands available in Europe.

What you need in such a motorhome is quite individual. Because a motorhome holiday doesn't mean you'll be hanging out, or sitting on chairs in front of the motorhome, or setting up a tent. We all have different habits and that's fine. You just have to figure out what your...
I'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...
Today's modern motorhomes are designed for year-round operation. Most manufacturers offer a so-called winter package for their models. This is an additional package that ensures comfortable and safe motorhoming even in temperatures well below freezing. We use our motorhome all year round. With Knaus we were in the Alps for...
Currently, all motorhomes sold in Europe today are classified as special M1 motorhome-type vehicles, regardless of their weight, length, height or width.

A motorhome gas cooker or stove works in a similar way to a gas cooker in the home. Ignition is either automatic by pressing a knob or, in some older models, by using a lighter. When the stove is burning, the vent or one of the windows must be open...
