Motorhome is not just a vehicle, it is your home on wheels, giving you the freedom to travel and explore the world. If you're just starting to dream about owning a motorhome, but don't know where to start, this guide is for you.
How to choose a motorhome: Decide on the type
There are several main types of motorhomes on the market, each with its own advantages and features. Here's a quick description of each to help you choose a motorhome:
Kastenwagens : Compact and maneuverable, ideal for city trips and short trips. An excellent option for those looking for mobility and the ability to park in cities.
Trailers: If you have a tow vehicle, consider a motorhome trailer. This is a convenient solution if you want to be able to leave the living area in place and use the car separately.
Alcove motorhomes: They have an additional berth above the driver's cabin. Suitable for family travel, providing more space for sleep and relaxation.
Semi-integrals: These motorhomes are economical and offer spacious interiors. They are less bulky than alcove models and often have a more modern design.
Integrals: The most comfortable and luxurious motorhomes. The interior space is integrated into a single whole, which provides a high level of comfort and convenience.
