Soon it is time for the campers' "New Year's Eve" - the big fair Elmia Husvagn Husbil 2016. We'll be there to showcase our blog, while also blogging and reporting intensively on the fair. Maybe we'll even see you there?
We report from the fair
This year, the Elmia fair has been extended by one day and will take place from 7 to 11 September, outside the Jönköping. The fair will of course feature lots of new motorhomes, caravans and accessories. In addition, campsites, destinations, associations and all sorts of consumer goods (from cloudberry jam and embroidery machines to model railways and garage doors) will be represented on the stands.
We'll be there all day to "live blog" - even more "here and now" blogging, with more frequent updates than usual. We will write about new products and publish short interviews with interesting people we meet. Among other things, we may report on:
- Smove - The exciting new motorhome from Niesmann+Bischoff which we have written about before
- Sealander - Caravan or houseboat ... or maybe both at the same time?
- Oktoberfest - Beer in real pails, bratwurst, sauerkraut and Tyrolean music each evening
- Elmia Grill - Top barbecue tips from chef Peter G Nilsson
Are you coming to Elmia too? Give us a shout if you see us or look for us - we will have a small standing table in Lobby South.
Alexandra says:
Yes, I will be there! But only on Saturday and Sunday. We have also booked the barbecue buffet on Saturday. It will be so much fun! Already when I was camping in Australia in 2008, my mate and I started dreaming about going to this fair but it hasn't happened. ?

Now I will be a little sentimental.I miss a whole year of reading when you made your European trip in 2015. Especially when you laid out your trip's trip with colour.To the point I think you should start a new topic in your blog all we get problems with faults in the car & house part especially when it comes to Fiat (I myself have told you that you had faults in the egr valve or throttle.There is a large forum in the motorhome world that writes about problems & solutions just a j ... Mass besserwisser . Peter good pictures with the taillight connector not difficult to change but you just have to remove a lot of stuff first. Last but not least good pictures of the water leak in the toilet Regards Roland Lindskog.

Villa Freja says:
Oh yes, we should really go there, we who dream of a caravan and by extension also a motorhome. So heavenly wonderful.

Ama de casa says:
No, I don't think I'll see you. I'm even further away than usual... 😉.
Fixed motorhome and caravan? I think tenters are a bit bullied here, right? 😀
It will be interesting to follow from afar 🙂

Not coming, but you are there so I can borrow your eyes! 🙂

Roland Lindskog, thank you very much for your comment! Thanks also for the feedback! Glad to hear that you like the pictures and explanations when we had problems with the car. We immediately start thinking. Maybe we can collect all this stuff in some specific place or similar.
Villa Freja, absolutely! This is the biggest and best motorhome and caravan fair in Sweden.
Ama de casa, haha that's probably true. Maybe there are tents at Vildmarksmässan instead? 😉
Wake up, we are reporting! 🙂

Hi, we will be there for the entire duration of the fair, one hour of which involves some work in the Burstner stand on Thursday between 12.00 - 13.00. Hope to see you there!

We roll in on Thursday evening and stand in area 1. Wouldn't it be nice to see you!

BP says:
Hope you are more satisfied with what Jököping has to offer than what you met at Nolia. Elmia could at least arrange a small standing table for you:-)
Will follow you as usual from afar.
PS. I myself have exhibited at Elmia many years ago - excavators and wheel loaders etc. Great fun. Jönköping is Sweden's Bible belt and I remember laughing my head off when we discovered a bottle of wine with a "jusus cork" on it at Systembolaget:-)))) DS

Mum C says:
Nope, we don't meet because we're not motorhome owners.
02 September 2016 - 22:52
admin says:
The motorhome Helge, it would be great to see you! Will see if we can remember to come to that stand right then 😉 Feel free to look for us otherwise at our little table in the lobby! It will say "FREEDOMtravel" 🙂
Cross and Cross, then we must of course be seen! 🙂
BP, well it feels much more organised here, so we hope so! And fun that you follow of course! And haha, fun to hear about your experiences from Elmia and Jönköping! 🙂
Mum C, we have many readers who don't have a motorhome too, we'll see what else we can find to report on 😉 Nice of you to stop by!

Nothing for us, of course, who have neither one nor the other. But still fun to check via your blog what happens and happens and what you see. Have a good time!
