It's getting closer! On 15-18 February it is time for the Caravan Stockholm 2018 fair at Kistamässan in Stockholm. We will both lecture and stand on a stand during the fair, and now we can present a little more about the programme. Hope you want to come and meet us!?
Table of contents
FREEDOMtravel lectures
We will be giving two talks at Caravan Stockholm, talking about some of our favourite countries to travel with a motorhome. Both lectures are about half an hour long and take place on the stage at Destinationstorget. Don't miss this!
- Friday 16 February 12:30-13:00 pm - Travelling by motorhome in France and Croatia
- Saturday 17 February 12:30-13:30 pm - Travelling by motorhome in Poland and the Czech Republic
More exciting events
No, we're not the only ones "entertaining" at Caravan Stockholm 2018. The programme will be updated regularly, but there are already a number of exciting events listed. You can get inspired by the Vildmarksvägen (Thursday), particularly attractive roads in Sweden (Friday) and the Via Baltica (Sunday). In addition, you can join our blog colleagues Lisa Fahlåker and Annika Myhre making live recordings with Travelling podcast (Thursday).
You can get practical information on laws and regulations via the Swedish Transport Agency (Friday and Saturday) and you can ask any questions you want to the Motorhome School (Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday). And of course there will be entertainment! This year, comedian Tobias Persson (Friday) and Lotta Engberg (Saturday) will be there.
Exhibitors and news
The great thing about a trade fair is that there are lots of exhibitors. There are motorhome manufacturers, accessory sellers, ferries, camping companies, destinations, motorhome and caravan magazines and various others. Other new features at the fair include:
- Destination Square - with travel inspiration from travellers and experts on stage and on the stand. This is also where we will talk about France, Croatia, Poland and the Czech Republic!
- Milky Way - Together with Svea Husbilar they have organised a place where you can be photographed against a nice caravan wall, with a VIP feeling. Also present is Nordic Husbilar, which specialises in developing motorhomes for our northern climate.
- Mercedes Marco Polo - This motorhome is marketed as "the motorhome that doesn't get noticed" or as "the car that happens to be a motorhome on the inside". Interesting!
See you at Caravan stockholm 2018?
We will not only be at the fair when we give lectures. No, we will have a stand in the fair during all days. Of course, we cannot promise to be there every second, but we will try to be there as much as possible.
We will be at the Destination Square during all days of the fair with travel information and hopefully both scrolling pictures and a fun competition. Above all, we hope to meet and talk to the following people you! Are you planning to come?
Kenneth Risberg says:
Yes, it will be nice to have a fair again. Have booked Friday and Saturday this time.
Will be fun to take part of your trip in Poland and the Czech Republic and also to look around at other exhibitors, you can get some tips on a little of everything and maybe make some purchases.

Lars Permeln says:
Of course, I will also be at this year's fair. Do not think I have missed any. motorhome fair in Kista. We have no plans to change our motorhome, I think it is nice to check out news, experience the atmosphere, meet friends and acquaintances. I will be there on Friday.

Absolutely! Have already clicked home tickets. Thanks for "warning" about Lotta Engberg on Saturday, then I know we skip that day;-)
Missed you last year, let's see if I'm luckier this time.
Mercan was really nice, talk about "compact camping".
17 January 2018 - 16:19
Helena says:
Haha, so good that we "warned" then ... 😉 Now we absolutely must be seen!!!! 🙂

Across the board says:
We have not planned it but it will probably be Elmia in the autumn instead. But if we get really hungry, we can just dart away - we have accommodation in Södertälje 😀.
17 January 2018 - 16:44
Helena says:
You can't do everything, but if you change your mind, it would be nice to see you! 🙂

If we do, we'll let you know!

Ditte says:
If I had been at home, it might have been a trip. But now I'm not, so...
Wishing you good luck.
17 January 2018 - 18:32
Helena says:
Will you be in Spain then Ditte? Or somewhere else entirely?

Good luck to you! We save all our resources for Elmia Husbil. Who knows, you might be lecturing then too?
17 January 2018 - 19:22
Helena says:
Elmia is a great fair! It is not certain that we have the opportunity to come there, but of course it would be fun!

Britt-Marie Lundgren says:
When you wrote about the fair a while ago, we planned a trip to Stockholm, but somehow it seems that plans are made to be changed. Now it will be Asia Spa in Varberg with the daughters that weekend and Stockholm weekends in January and March. Otherwise, your lecture on Croatia would have attracted when we get there in May.
We have Elmia close by, so there is usually a trip there.

Helena says:
Spa in Varberg also sounds nice! 🙂 Great that you are going to Croatia!

What fun Ulrika, hope to see you! 🙂

Seija Viitamäki-carlsson says:
We are coming on Friday. We go to Provence already in May. Last year's inspiration was Albania and Macedonia. We went there in September-October. And that trip was wonderful. Thank you very much for that.
18 January 2018 - 8:55
Helena says:
How nice that you come on Friday Seija! Provence sounds wonderful!

Mr Leif Andersson says:
Why can't Svea Husbilar participate?
11 February 2018 - 14:44
Helena says:
This is not something we know anything about or have anything to do with Leif. We will lecture and have a stand, but do not know what applies to other exhibitors.
