Electric bikes and caravans at Elmia Husvagn Husbil 2018

Advertisement

It's time to show caravans at Elmia Husvagn Husbil 2018. We usually write more about motorhomes than caravans, but we saw some caravans that stood out and that we would like to show. We'll also say a few words about the electric bikes we looked at and some conclusions from the whole fair. Were you there? What were your conclusions?

Conclusions from the Electricity Fair 2018

This year's big caravan and motorhome fair at Elmia is now over. During the five days, the fair was visited by a total of 34,502 people and around 7,000 people stayed at the fully booked campsite. We felt that it was, as usual, a well-organised and fun fair, with many models to look at and plenty of activities both during the day and in the evening.

When it comes to motorhomes, one of this year's trends was interior design with a large rear seating area. We've written a post about 10 interesting mobile homes at the fair and a post on 6 exciting plasters at the fair. Our favourites this time were Swift's motorhomes, the small Dreamer vans and the LMC Explorer Premium with rear seating (Peter). Today we write about electric bikes and caravans!

Convert your bike to an electric bike

At Elcykelexperten, located in Habo, you can convert your own bike into an electric bike. Smoothly! They also showed small folding electric bikes, which we liked. We don't usually bring bikes with us in the motorhome, but sometimes we miss it. Since we have shared our large garage in the motorhome, we do not have room for regular bikes inside the motorhome, but we would have room for folding bikes!

Caravans at elmia Caravan motorhome 2018

We look more at motorhomes than caravans, so we won't be doing a comprehensive report on caravans at Elmia Husvagn Husbil 2018. But we saw some caravans that stood out in different ways, and we want to show them! Already in our first report from the fair, we showed the small RC Mini Campa, which is only 2.5 metres long.

Hero ranger for the adventurer

The Hero Ranger, from Hero Camper, is a very small caravan with substantial tyres, which was displayed outdoors during the fair. The caravan is 4.82 metres long and has a net weight of 800 kilos (the total weight is 850 - 1200 kilos). The interior is slightly different with a kitchen in the tailgate. The price for this caravan is about 116,000 SEK.

Sprite caravans - back in Sweden

Sprite is one of Europe's oldest caravan manufacturers, with production starting in 1947 in England. Since 2005, Sprite has been built and owned by Swift Group, and now they are back in Sweden. Initially, three different models will be launched and all trade will take place online. The three models are Basecamp, Sprite Cruzer 492 SR and Sprite Cruzer 520 SR.

At the fair, the three caravans were displayed at height - due to lack of space!

Sprite Basecamp

The Basecamp is the smallest of the models, and perhaps the one that stands out the most. The design is stylish and slightly different, and the caravan has also won the "Red Dot Award" design prize. You enter the rear of the caravan, and inside you will find different cabinet solutions and a large stove with grill/oven. The price for this is SEK 229,900.

Sprite Cruizer 492 SR

The Sprite Cruizer 492 SR is equipped with two long beds, a bathroom at the rear and a spacious seating area at the front. The interior is taken from Swift's motorhome series and, as in Swift's motorhomes, they have chosen to include a lot of standard equipment instead of long option lists. The price for this is SEK 269,900.

Last but not least, we present the Polar 840 TRXBR, which offers luxurious accommodation on 20 square metres. The interior is slightly different, with a shower "in the centre" and a nursery at the back, behind the shower area. The price of the caravan is SEK 999 000.
