Travelling in a camper van – experience the adventure of a lifetime

As Hans Christian Andersen said ‘The one who travels, lives twice’. We definitely agree with this. Traveling educates, changes, allows you to get to know distant cultures, folklore, traditions. For many, they are the meaning and essence of life. It is worth going beyond your immediate surroundings and seeing how beautiful Poland, Europe, and other parts of the world are.

Some people choose to travel by plane – no doubt the fastest way to get to a distant part of the world, but too limiting for some. Some people want to soak up as much as they can from their travels and have the freedom to get into every nook and cranny of an area on their own. Some people choose to fly into a particular country and rent a car on site, while others prefer to pack the family into an RV and experience a beautiful adventure without limitations. Travelling in a camper van allows both a more in-depth travel experience – seeing the entire road – as well as frequent stops in different parts of a country, which is not possible when flying by plane. In addition – travelling in a camper van allows you to take much more luggage with you, which can be particularly important for some. A camper van is the ideal choice for families with children, those who love active travel, as well as digital nomads who combine sightseeing with remote work. Travelling in a camper van offers unlimited possibilities. It’s a home on wheels in which we can have all the essentials.

Before you set off on your journey …

Before you pack up and get into your RV, it’s essential to plan your route. Consider how much time you want to spend on the trip and what you want to see during the trip. Once you have planned your route, remember to book a spot at the campsites. During peak season, popular campsites may not have places to enter without booking in advance. It is a good idea to plan ahead. Also make sure the campsite has space for your type of camper and check the reviews to avoid unpleasant surprises. When planning your route, also check the location of places that allow overnight stops – these may be some petrol stations or shops. It is a good idea to have these points on your route in case you do not reach your destination in time. When planning your route, also consider the capacity of your battery, as well as the possibility of fetching clean water and disposing of rubbish at the campsites concerned.

Carefully consider what you will need and create a list of things to take with you

When going on a camping trip, think carefully about what you absolutely must take with you. As well as clothes, food and personal hygiene items, don’t forget an extension cord, power adaptors, levelling pads and wedges, or a canister or drinking water jug. It is also essential to remember your first aid kit, the medicines you take on a daily basis, as well as the essentials you need in case of a sudden pain or cold. And don’t forget chargers for all your electrical devices, a toolkit, torch or GPS. Before you leave – especially the first one – sit down and carefully go over what you need. Remember that this is not an all-inclusive holiday and many more things may come in handy.
