Glossary for campers

  • Semi-integrated: Motorhome built on a lorry chassis, where the original cabin is retained. In some cases, however, it is modified, for example with insulation and specialised cab seats.
  • Fricamping: Setting up in the open air, but without violating rules and regulations. Can be in a clearing in the forest, by a lake or any other place that appeals at the moment.
  • Entry-level model: Caravans and motorhomes aimed at first-time buyers, usually with more basic equipment and lower prices.
  • Control panelThere are controls for many, sometimes all, of the carriage's functions in one place. May look different in different makes.
  • Quick Stop: Offered by some campsites, and located directly adjacent to them. You can arrive no earlier than 21.00 and leave no later than 09.00.
  • Service weight: Motor homes: weight of the vehicle without load but with driver (75 kg) and filled fuel tank, LPG filled to 90 per cent and electric cable (5 kg).
  • Overhang: The distance between the centre of the rear axle and the ball centre of the drawbar. Too much overhang can cause instability, short overhang gives more stable road behaviour.
