Traveling in motorhomes or trailers tempts you with a sense of freedom and freedom of movement. They allow you to take a bicycle or scooter on your dream vacation, which you can use to explore the picturesque surroundings of mountains, lakes and forests. Before setting off on a trip, it is worth considering the method of transporting equipment that will allow you to spend your time actively while on the trip. Campervan owners can put their bicycles in the luggage compartment. However, dedicated external transport systems seem to be a much more convenient solution. Additional racks not only save valuable space inside the vehicle, but also ensure full safety of the transported equipment and all road users. There are numerous transport solutions on the market, including racks mounted on the drawbar, hook, vehicle wall and more. Which of them should you choose?

Drawbar racks

One of the most popular solutions are drawbar racks attached to the front of the caravan. Although they are not the cheapest, they allow you to transport up to 4 bicycles, which will be appreciated by those who enjoy family trips. Their advantage is also simple and quick installation. Before purchasing, it is worth checking whether a given rack can be mounted on a specific drawbar of our trailer. The camping accessories store's offer includes models of the well-known and proven Thule brand, adapted to regular and short A-shaped bicycle frames.

Hook racks

Another solution for passenger car owners are hitch-mounted racks. Tilting models of this type of rack allow you to transport 2 or 3 bikes and enable easy access to the rack without removing the bikes. However, the disadvantage of such mounting is that visibility behind the vehicle is limited. When purchasing, it is important to choose towbar racks equipped with light boards or with the option of mounting them.

Wall racks

Ladder or platform racks mounted on the wall allow for permanent mounting of 2 to 4 bicycles on the back wall of a camper or caravan. They are cheaper than racks mounted on a hook and are particularly easy to fit to most camping cars. Their solidity is ensured by a metal structure with special brackets and belts. However, we must bear in mind the limited load capacity of this type of racks.

Scooter racks

Fans of riding scooters or small motorcycles can take them on holiday thanks to special racks in the form of a platform, usually mounted to the chassis. The solution is made of a strong structure, ensuring comfortable use, high durability, full functionality and easy assembly and disassembly.

There are many dog and cat lovers among motorhome owners. Some of them, when planning their dream vacation, do not want to or cannot leave the pet at home and therefore decide to take it with them on vacation. However, we must be aware that, especially on long journeys, he must travel in the right conditions. The same applies to the campsite - choose one that is pet-friendly. How to make sure that holidays are not a pain for our four-legged friend or for us?. Camping accessories currently available on the market allow you to transport animals not only in comfortable but also safe conditions. An excellent option are, above all, all kinds of transporters , which we can buy for several dozen zlotys, depending on the size of our pet. For small dogs and cats, it's a good idea to buy a foldable transporter that can only be set up while driving. The offer of camping accessories stores includes both metal and fabric models. After purchasing the transporter, place it properly in the vehicle. On the one hand, it should be stably positioned between fixed elements of the motorhome 's equipment, and on the other hand, it should provide the animal with constant access to fresh air. Larger dogs should be transported in closed transporters in the form of a "cage". Due to their large size, the installation of such models is usually carried out inside the vehicle.
