Our Caravaning Page

Our style to camp

On the one hand you can talk hours about what the best style of camping is, which caravan or tent will be the best or which equipment you should have. On the other side I think everybody should get his own experiances and find out what he likes regarding caravaning equipment and what is comfortable for himself and maybe for his family too. Our family do camping since a long time, in the begin with an old rebuilt VW-Bully, the childrens used a tent to this time. Since nearly twenty years we use an own caravan. With our caravan and with caravan parks we got a lot of experiances which we will partly share here.

Starting at this page we will show you which equipment we have, on the following pages we will show you some pics of the places we joined.

Our equipment

Cars

Since April 2019 our main car for carrying our caravan is a Skoda Kodiaq. With this we are very happy and rialized that even our second car, our Lada 4x4, is able to carry our caravan, even the bigger car give us much more comfortability.

Caravan

Knaus Südwind TKF 550
  -> for our family still good, even with some experiance something could be better.

Tents

Fritz Berger partly Pretent "Zermatt"
  -> We decided to sell our big pretent because it needs always to much time to built it and when the weather is nice we like better to sit outside. For bad weather or winter we stay inside and this tent give us enough place to store our things and protect the entrance from wind and weather.
   
  Sunshade
   
  -> Since few years we have a shade plane, which we can zip in easily. It allow us to sit outside on sunny days and protect the caravan front a bit from sun as well.
   
  Quechua Air Seconds 4.1
   
  -> Few years we bought this tent for give us extra sleeping places. In 2022 we used it first time at a caravan park at the baltic sea and we was very happy. In combination with the Decathlon trade mark camping beds it give one or two persons a comfortable sleeping place.

Others

For us one of the important buys was an extra ref. This is specially in summer a big help if you have to keep fruits, vegetables or drinks. On the other hand with a child and the equipment you have to bring with a baby, there is often to less space to bring a extra ref. Good too is the beach vehicle we bought and which you can use for transporting canous, beach equipment or the dirty water tank.

 

Current plans

Since spring 2021 we decided to place our caravan at Campingplatz Kreuzberg in Oberwildflecken, Rhön, Germany.
