A domestic tourist, if they have the opportunity, can either rent a camper or buy one. The choice is very wide: campers from various manufacturers, both domestic and foreign, of different "formats" and sizes. By the way, you can buy good used "homes on wheels." Or you can make your own custom camper, personally designing its layout. Prices here are also very different, for every taste and budget.
If you are going on a road trip for the first time, do not immediately buy a camper, rent one – what if you do not like auto tourism at all? Although almost no one has ever met such people. By the way, in our country companies engaged in camper rental appeared not so long ago, so they have not yet grown like mushrooms. This is a plus: few non-professionals. But the choice of car brands is very large: both foreign models and domestically produced models, such as "Kupava", rebuilt and tuned "Gazelles."
But before you go to sign a rental agreement, think carefully and decide what exactly you need: a car with a "built-in" home, or a standard car with some kind of trailer on a quality Galia towbar. After all, for a start you can even take a GAZ, and over time you will figure out if such a vehicle is enough for you.
Auto tourists use both options. A camper will cost an order of magnitude more, but it has more advantages. Also consider the fact that a trailer needs permanent electricity or corresponding solar energy.
As a rule, companies renting you campers, before handing over the keys to the car, must thoroughly instruct you. After all, "driving a home on wheels" is not the same as speeding in a light sports car. Not only the driver is "trained," but also all other tourists. It is necessary to know all the rules of behavior in a "home on wheels." Unlike old Europe, where caravanning has been developed for a long time, in our country some special rules have not yet formed. For example, in European campers it is not allowed to sleep, nor to cook lunch while the vehicle is moving.
An "average" camper can accommodate six people. Each "home on wheels" must be equipped with a mini-kitchen, toilet, various compartments for storing things, a TV, and of course, sleeping places. Depending on the type of camper, it may come with items of tableware, interior items, some furniture, sometimes a tent. Even if you travel in winter, the camper will always be warm and cozy. There are even such varieties of "homes on wheels" that easily withstand forty-degree frosts.
