We've been wondering how many Swedes have motorhomes, but now we don't have to wonder anymore... On the information company InfoTorg, we found an article from July 2009, which states that there are 19,000 privately owned motorhomes in Sweden (if you want, you can compare this to 270,000 caravans!).

When the doors closed on Elmia Husvagn Husbil 2009, the fair had been visited by 37,493 people, according to Elmia's own statistics. Last year there were as many as 41,648 visitors, but with the economic crisis in mind, this year's result cannot be considered bad either.

On the way down to Nässjö and Jönköping we realised that we had forgotten ... the ticket to Elmia! How do you manage that?

Today it was time to trim the car. 28 wonderful horsepower extra and a completely different torque. We went to the workshop and a guy put in the trim box in five minutes. The box is 5×10 cm, so it's not difficult to fit.

The engine light on our Fiat is on and it started when we crossed the Alps in Austria. It was on the uphills that I pushed the car the most. We made our way to a Fiat as soon as we entered Italy.
