Stockholm Husvagn Husbil - photo extra from the fair

Writer: Helena Bergström

Stockholm Husvagn Husbil is currently underway. Between 5 and 8 March, you can visit Stockholmsmässan in Älvsjö to see new caravans, motorhomes and accessories. With a single ticket you can visit three fairs: Stockholm Husvagn Husbil, Allt för sjön and Nya Antikmässan. Today we offer a car extra!

Stockholm Caravan Motorhome 5-8 March

The fair Stockholm Caravan Motorhome will be held on 5-8 March, at Stockholmsmässan in Älvsjö. There are plenty of vehicles to check out this year, and there's a whole lot more going on at the fair.

Lectures

Every day you can listen to lectures at the All about Motorhomes stand (AG:710). The seminars are around 20-30 minutes long and end with a free Q&A session. This is the programme for each day:

• 11:00 Beginners' school - What types of motorhomes are there and how are they usually furnished?
• 12:00 Pros and cons of a large and small motorhome - Motorhome Travel & Adventure tells us
• 13:00 Without brakes in Sardinia - a campervan trip with heart palpitations and beautiful views – FREEDOMtravel tells us
• 14:00 Using a motorhome all year round - Motorhome Travel & Adventure tells us.
• 15:00 By motorhome in Poland - a tour full of surprises and gems - FREEDOMtravel tells us.

Photo extra from the fair

Now it's time for some car extra from the Stockholm Caravan Motorhome Fair! Our experience, when we walked around the fair, is that there is a great focus on ”adventure motorhomes”, that is, motorhomes with a little higher clearance and which can have options such as four-wheel drive, etc.

These motorhomes are often designed and furnished to suit the needs of users who, for example, are going camping or fishing. At the fair, they are often displayed together with outdoor furniture, boards/canoes and perhaps a ”campfire”.

Also, don't miss out on the exciting news Kabe Novum Traq 750 LGB - which we wrote a report about here.

Many smaller motorhomes, known as vans or panel vans, are also on display.

Of course, many ”mid-size” or ”full-size” motorhomes, both semi-integrated and fully integrated models, are also on display.

Larger motorhomes? Yes, of course there are also at the fair! Why not a Morelo Grand Empire, with a garage for the car?

Accessories

There are also plenty of accessories and technical equipment at the show, for boats as well as motorhomes and caravans. Among other things, we spotted two brand new products from Clean Water, which are having their world premiere at the fair:

• PowerDock - a complete portable energy system designed to provide a safe and stable power supply in environments where electricity grids are missing or unreliable.
• AquaDock - a portable reverse-osmosis system integrated into a portable bag, developed for environments where traditional water treatment plants are not feasible or cost-effective. The system can purify 30 litres of drinking water in one hour, using water from the Baltic Sea.

Several fairs at the same time!

One thing we like about Stockholm Caravan Motorhome is that the fair is organised together with two other fairs: Allt för sjön and Nya Antikmässan. Several fairs on the same ticket means that the trade fair visit becomes both more affordable and more worth visiting!

We haven't had time to check out the New Antiques Fair, but we took a few laps around Allt för sjön, and yes ... there are a lot of interesting things to check out!

This week: Grateful for ...

This week we are grateful that we once again get to hang out at the Stockholm Husvagn Husbil fair, and meet lovely friends from the motorhome world. We have also enjoyed a delicious Ålandic breakfast at a breakfast meeting with Visit Åland. Did you know that food, delicacies and locally produced ingredients are a big thing in Åland?

Your turn, what are you thankful for this week ...?
