I've realised that I have a (big) car and (perhaps one of Sweden's biggest) car blogs ... but no driving licence. It's not that I don't want a driving licence in principle, on the contrary!

We have now bought a winter cover for the motorhome. Our motorhome will be outside during the winter and we want to protect it from the weather as much as possible. Of course, it would be even better if the motorhome could be kept indoors, but we can't find a good solution for that this year. We hope that a blanket will help!
Read moreMany motorhomers are now fleeing the autumn and the cold here in the north, and rolling south to spend the winter somewhere around the Mediterranean. Some are already in place at more southern latitudes, and we have to admit that it doesn't sound too bad.

The answer is that you do what you want. Of course you can use your motorhome all year round. Some makes and models are better suited to winter use than others, but usually it's fine.
Read moreWhere can motorhomes be parked? The debate about where motorhomes can be parked has been heated this summer. The fact that motorhome owners are spending the night in car parks is causing campsite owners to see red and now the "motorhome war is escalating".
Read moreAre you aware that there are now new weight rules for motorhomes under a new EU regulation? The new regulation includes a number of new concepts. Here are explanations of the terms, based on an article on CampingSverige.se.
Read moreWhen we drove out of the Lysingsbadet campsite in Västervik, we found at last a car wash that can accommodate our motorhome. Most car washes are only 2.8 or 3.0 metres high and our motorhome is 3.1 metres high. We never know where to wash it. So we were happy when we saw Stanley's Powerwash in Västervik.
Read moreToday, when we were sitting outside the motorhome here at the campsite in Borgholm, a man came up and showed us mudguards to put behind the front tyres of the motorhome. The idea, of course, is to prevent dirt from splashing up on the car from the tyres.
