We are preparing for Elmia – with Norway, Swedish gems and Europe in our luggage

Right now we are rolling through Norway with the camper, among fjords, mountain roads, waterfalls and small places that we barely knew existed before we came here. And at the same time, we are slowly starting to prepare for this autumn's big camper event – Elmia Husvagn Husbil in Jönköping.

The fair will take place from September 9-13, 2026, and FREEDOMtravel will be there again this year. We will also be taking to the stage to talk about one of our favorite things: traveling by motorhome!

Motorhome trip in Norway – our recent experiences

Norway could hardly be more relevant to us. As we write this, we are in the middle of a long motorhome trip through the country, where we have experienced everything from Atlantic Road and Troll's Path to Geirangerfjord, Sognefjord and the Hardangerfjord. Norway is truly a fantastic country!

At Elmia, we share our experiences from the trip – about the roads, the nature experiences and the gems along the way, but also about what it's actually like to travel through Norway by motorhome, in practical terms.

We will tell you about ferries, tunnels, overnight stays, prices, border regulations and just about anything else you might be wondering about.

Gold for the motorhome in Sweden

Of course, you don't have to travel far to find fantastic motorhome experiences. Over the years, we have travelled all over the Sweden and have collected a long list of favorites – from well-known destinations to small places that surprised us along the way.

During one of our lectures, we highlight some of our Swedish gems and give tips on experiences that are particularly well suited to discovering by motorhome.
