Irresponsible free camping ruins it for everyone

If you haven't seen the endless sea of motorhomes along the south coast of Portugal and Spain, it's hard to imagine the sheer number of vehicles. In every village and on every stretch of beach there are campsites, pitches and gravel plots with hundreds of motorhomes. It is an explosive development that has taken place and it can be positive both for us travellers and for the local economies, but then we motorhomers have to take our responsibility for how we park for the night.

FREEDOM in Nomadliv magazine

To FREEDOMtravel

Admittedly, this is a bit old news. But better late than never! We were featured in a report in the magazine Nomadliv, No. 5 2014. A journalist came to our home just before we left on our long trip last autumn, and it was fun to talk about the motorhome and the trip then because we were very excited. Then it also became a very nice report, so it was fun to see!

New shoe storage in the motorhome

To FREEDOMtravel

We now have new shoe storage in the motorhome. Shoe storage is always a bit of a problem in the motorhome. How do you find room for all the shoes? Now we've added a new type of shoe storage to our boxes in the garage, namely a hanging storage unit on the inside of one of the garage doors.

ACSI CampingCard - our experience

To FREEDOMtravel

ACSI CampingCard - it finally arrived! When we left Sweden with the motorhome at the end of November, it was too early to order the ACSI camping card for 2015. So we ordered the camping card when we arrived at the campsite in Albufeira, Portugal. And then we waited and waited ...

Real estate app: CamperContact

To FREEDOMtravel

CamperContact is a handy app for finding pitches and campsites. Our nice motorhome neighbours here in Albufeira, Lena and Arne, told us about this app. We have now downloaded the app, which is called CamperContact. We have tested a bit and the app seems very smooth!

10 tips for avoiding motorhome burglaries

To FREEDOMtravel

How do you prevent your motorhome from being broken into? People who don't have a motorhome can sound very worried when you tell them that you are caravanning or camping in Europe. "But what if you get gassed!" Experienced motorhome travellers tend to sound much calmer. But of course you have to think about it!

Living in a motorhome

To FREEDOMtravel

People who do not travel by motorhome often ask whether living in a motorhome is not complicated? Isn't it cramped? Don't you get on each other's nerves? Isn't it difficult to cook? No, we don't think it's difficult. On the contrary - we think it's fantastic! For those of you who don't have a motorhome, we'll show you what it can look like, i.e. what it looks like in our motorhome!

How to break out of a car park

To FREEDOMtravel

When you enter the car park in Biscarosse-Plage on the Silver Coast in France, you press a button, receive a receipt with a code and enter through a barrier that opens. To exit through the barrier, the machine reads the receipt and tells you how much to pay. It sounds good, but it didn't really work, so to speak ...

Motorhome fixed - at last

To FREEDOMtravel

This morning we hung out at the garage in Caen while they fixed the most pressing issue - the coolant hose. When we left a couple of hours later, the engine light was still on, but they promised that it wasn't an urgent problem and that we could check it out later. (They didn't have time.) But what happened in the afternoon? The engine jumped and the car started running really bad. Panic!

In a car workshop in France

To FREEDOMtravel

Today we spent the whole day at a car repair shop in Caen here in France. I attempted a few words and phrases in broken (and largely forgotten) school French and Peter reinforced it all with sign language. In the end, there was further conversation via Google Translate in the workshop's office... haha.
