What are the top 3 things to do that you would definitely recommend for a trip like yours?
- Bathing: We love to jump into cold water. No matter where we are with the Carado - we always make a stop on the way and jump into a small stream, river, lake or, of course, preferably into the sea.
- Hiking: We both come from the country and were born and raised in the mountains. The choice is huge, especially in Austria. We always use the Komoot app to plan tours.
- Riding a racing bike: You can go on great tours, especially in the Salzkammergut. Mondsee - Wolfgangsee - Fuschlsee - Attersee.
What was the highlight of your trip?
Outdoor pizza - we had a portable pizza oven with us. So, we could simply drive the motorhome to a secluded place and prepare our own pizza outdoors. A slightly different dinner, but just as we like it: camping, outdoors, freedom.
Cooking or going out to eat: what do you appreciate more on your vacation?
Cooking clearly. We just love opening a bottle of wine, listening to music, cooking and eating in front of the RV. That gives us a sense of freedom.
What moment or event during your journey will you not soon forget?
That it just rained heavily and that we had imagined the camping trip with sunshine and a lot of time outside. But it usually turns out differently than planned. Nevertheless, we made it nice and special for that very reason. We jumped into the lake in the rain and made ourselves comfortable in bed and just "chatted".
What are the absolute “must-haves” on your packing list for a camping holiday?
- The Bialetti coffee machine - we simply cannot start the day without a cosy cup of coffee. An absolute highlight is of course to drink the coffee outdoors. One step out of the Carado, and there’s coffee in the middle of nature!
- Skip-Bo cards.
- And the most useful thing at the end: a rinsing tub!
And what else did you like about your Carado T449?
The storage space is amazing. We had two racing bikes with us and of course our pizza oven. And that wasn't a problem at all.
Did you plan your tour in advance? Or was the route planning spontaneous?
We had an approximate destination, but we never know where we will end up. This is exactly what we appreciate so much about a holiday with a motorhome: the freedom to stop wherever we like. And mostly in places that are a bit remote.
After your trip, do you have any advice or tips that you can pass on?
In our case: always have rainwear and flip-flops with you and see the holiday as an adventure. Adventure is always fun - regardless of the weather.
