For many years, Solan and Lasse dreamed of spending their winters in southern latitudes, and when they retired, they took action. Like many other wintering seniors, they traded down to a smaller home in Sweden and invested in a good motorhome, and now they spend five months every year in Portugal and around the Mediterranean.<\/p><div class=\"sharethis-buttons\"><div class=\"st-custom-button\" data-network=\"twitter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform-cdn.sharethis.com\/img\/twitter.svg\"><span class=\"label\">Tweet<\/span><\/div><div class=\"st-custom-button\" data-network=\"facebook\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform-cdn.sharethis.com\/img\/facebook.svg\"><span class=\"label\">Share<\/span><\/div><div class=\"st-custom-button\" data-network=\"linkedin\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform-cdn.sharethis.com\/img\/linkedin.svg\"><span class=\"label\">Share<\/span><\/div><div class=\"st-custom-button\" data-network=\"pinterest\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform-cdn.sharethis.com\/img\/pinterest.svg\"><span class=\"label\">Pin<\/span><\/div><div class=\"st-custom-button\" data-network=\"reddit\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform-cdn.sharethis.com\/img\/reddit.svg\"><span class=\"label\">Share<\/span><\/div><div class=\"st-custom-button\" data-network=\"digg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform-cdn.sharethis.com\/img\/digg.svg\"><span class=\"label\">Share<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We know there are many others who dream of doing what Solan and Lasse do, so we take the opportunity to ask a few curious questions.

As long as we were working, we made one or two European trips a year. We deliberately saved Spain and Portugal, having to have something left as retirees with unlimited time. With the first motorhome, a Karmann Gipsy-88 and the first trip, we travelled through Germany, France, Italy and Austria in 14 days. Stupid ... remember we blew through Monaco without finding a parking spot!&nbsp;<\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-i-blogginlagg freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-3855783168\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-slider-88752\" class=\"custom-slider freed-slider-1039202572 freed-slider\"><ul><li><div id=\"freed-4092621947\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ullbadden.se\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-224x60.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-18x5.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-433x116.jpg 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-3712648331\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/se.sun-living.com\/vans\/v-serien\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" aria-label=\"New Sunlife\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Nya-Sunliv.gif\" alt=\"\"  width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><script>( window.advanced_ads_ready || jQuery( document ).ready ).call( null, function() {var $freedslider1039202572 = jQuery( \".freed-slider-1039202572\" );$freedslider1039202572.on( \"unslider.ready\", function() { jQuery( \"div.custom-slider ul li\" ).css( \"display\", \"block\" ); });$freedslider1039202572.unslider({ delay:4000, autoplay:true, nav:false, arrows:false, infinite:true });$freedslider1039202572.on(\"mouseover\", function() {$freedslider1039202572.unslider(\"stop\");}).on(\"mouseout\", function() {$freedslider1039202572.unslider(\"start\");});});<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But now, as seniors with a larger and more comfortable motorhome, we take it easy, grazing an area on foot or on bikes.

Yes, sometimes on a beautiful beach, for example. Free camping on rubbishy beaches or back streets in holiday resorts? No thanks! Emergency camping in the worst case scenario if the site is full and it's very late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sure, we sometimes stay at a campsite, the longest we've stayed in the same place is a month. Happens when there is no suitable site in places where we want to go. Most people who spend the winter are 60+ with a dog and a gas grill. At large campsites with Acsi discounts during the low season, it is easy to have coffee with boule ... a bit of the same.  It does not suit us, but who knows, one day we may unscrew the wheels and stand still for months. But then we will probably have to have a small rental car as a complement.<\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-stora-banners-i-blogginlagg-2 freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-993922357\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-1096838806\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/wifi.se\/produkt\/hybrid-traveller-portabel-5g-router-med-backup-batteri-i-over-6-timmar-usb\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"freedom\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/freedom.gif\" alt=\"\"  width=\"588\" height=\"288\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-vilka-ar-era-smultronstallen-i-sydeuropa\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vilka_ar_era_smultronstallen_i_Sydeuropa\"><\/span>What are your favourite places in Southern Europe?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We find new ones all the time.

The French food helps, then we are a bit francophile without knowing the language. But English works just fine.

Once on the M25, London's ring road, the gear lever got stuck in the four position. Of course in the worst of the rush hour. We didn't laugh out loud then. So we are hardened. But today we know that new motorhomes come with teething problems. We started a bit lightly with a cracked shower floor, a door that ghosted, a leak in the fresh water tank and a kitchen tap that failed. But we have a rule in the motorhome: everything can be fixed and nothing should ruin our trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The last time we were driving along the Spanish toll road we heard a loud bang. We thought it was something inside the car that had collapsed. But - when we stopped for a break, we saw that the chimney of the Alpine boiler had been hit hard by a stone. Half the lid on the side was gone. Lasse emailed Alde in Sweden, we got tips on a Norwegian with motorhome service in Alicante. A week later, both the Norwegian and the cover arrived at the site. \u20ac 80 cost the party ...<\/p><div class=\"freed-stor-banner-plats-14 freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-4026404562\"><div id=\"freed-slider-88782\" class=\"custom-slider freed-slider-942186061 freed-slider\"><ul><li><div id=\"freed-2276188587\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/husbilslandet.com\/i-lager?amount=-1&#038;vehicle_type=camper&#038;price=219000%2C8874149&#038;y=2005%2C2027&#038;weight=1000%2C18000&#038;rea=true\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Demo sale 588x588px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-224x224.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-325x325.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-520x520.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"588\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-1231256559\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/se.sun-living.com\/husbilar\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"sun living 70\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70-.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70-.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70--300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70--150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70--224x224.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70--12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70--325x325.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70--520x520.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70--320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70--100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70--120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"588\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><script>( window.advanced_ads_ready || jQuery( document ).ready ).call( null, function() {var $freedslider942186061 = jQuery( \".freed-slider-942186061\" );$freedslider942186061.on( \"unslider.ready\", function() { jQuery( \"div.custom-slider ul li\" ).css( \"display\", \"block\" ); });$freedslider942186061.unslider({ delay:5000, autoplay:true, nav:false, arrows:false, infinite:true });$freedslider942186061.on(\"mouseover\", function() {$freedslider942186061.unslider(\"stop\");}).on(\"mouseout\", function() {$freedslider942186061.unslider(\"start\");});});<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We always do an annual service at the Dethleffs workshop in Isny, Germany, where the motorhome was born.

I have my 87-year-old father still alive. But he is alert and has his own social life at home. We are in close and good telephone contact and if something happens, the plane is always close by. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We see our friends for half of April until November. I don't think they could keep up with us all year! Almost everyone is on Facebook, so it's easy to keep in touch. We are often told that we are worthy of having such a good time... but sometimes someone says: Oh I'm so jealous of you.
