We often stay at campsites or caravan parks with electricity. If we're free camping, we often try to do without the generator because it makes a lot of noise.

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! When we travel far with the motorhome, it would be smart if we both had a driving licence. What if Peter gets sick, for example ...

If you have your own motorhome, you know exactly what a motorhome kitchen looks like and how everything works. This post is more for those who have barely been inside a motorhome.

We have purchased and fitted a spoiler to the roof of our motorhome. We think there is a lot of noise from the two front roof hatches, and the purpose of the spoiler is to reduce wind noise.
