Avoid mice in your motorhome

We've heard some horror stories about people getting mice into their motorhome while it was stored over the winter. The mice have then chewed up electrical wiring and other things, so that the car does not work ...

Extreme motorhome racing

To FREEDOMtravel

Extreme motorhome racing is motorhome racing where you push the gas pedal to the metal. We didn't even know this existed! This is not for those who are afraid of speed or for those who want to be afraid like their motorhome. We found a film on Youtube ...

Hard to count mobile homes?

To FREEDOMtravel

In two previous posts we tried to find out how many motorhomes there are in Sweden. But apparently it is not so easy to count motorhomes! The information company Infotorg counts 19,000 privately owned motorhomes while the Swedish Transport Agency comes up with about 40,000. A pretty big difference, you might think ...

How many mobile homes are there?

To FREEDOMtravel

Yesterday we wrote that we found statistics on the number of motorhomes on the company Infotorg. According to recent statistics from last summer, there are 19,000 privately owned motorhomes in Sweden. But after a comment from Margareta Jonilsson at the online magazine Nomadliv, we have become aware that these figures do not seem to be correct ...

Motorhome not for Stockholmers?

To FREEDOMtravel

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!).

37,000 visitors at Elmia Caravan Motorhome 2009

To FREEDOMtravel

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.

Motorhomes at Elmia camping

To FREEDOMtravel

On the way down to Nässjö and Jönköping we realised that we had forgotten ... the ticket to Elmia! How do you manage that? Fortunately, it was possible to solve it after a few phone calls to Elmia and after Peter's brother faxed a copy of the ticket from home ... We came down to Nässjö in the evening and spent the night in a car park in the city centre.

News at Elmia Caravan Motorhome 2009

To FREEDOMtravel

Even if you're not planning to buy a new motorhome, it's fun to walk around the Elmia fair and look at all the new models. There were a lot of fresh new cars, but still we sometimes find that our imagination doesn't go very far. Many of the cars are quite similar when you look inside them.

Motorhome through Russia - is it possible?

To FREEDOMtravel

Can you travel through Russia by motorhome? We've been wanting to take our motorhome east to Russia for a long time. So we were very enthusiastic when we saw that the latest issue of Caravanbladet, the Caravan Club's member magazine, featured a report on a motorhome trip to Murmansk.

Motorhome just for the elderly?

To FREEDOMtravel

Are motorhomes only for the elderly? If you look through the windscreen of some motorhomes, you can pretty quickly conclude that the average age of motorhome owners is relatively, how should we say, respectable... We think that all 60+ people who take the chance, now that the children have left home, to become nomads and see the world with a motorhome are cool and do the right thing. But ... are there no young people with motorhomes?
