Compared to the previous years the average price of a mobile home increased by almost 4% in 2009 and cost round about 56,000 Euros. Thus, the average price is about that of what a well-equipped, converted van would cost. And this is where the trend is headed: the buyers are in particular interested in multi purpose vehicles. Manufacturers can partially record a strong increase in sales.
Just in time to the increase in prosperity of well known economic institutes
the caravaning industry also comes along with a smile on its face. The
business-fair about mobile homes, caravans and camping offers everything for
the unbelieably solvent customer down to the economically priced model with
a Dacia Logan base. But there are also news for the nearly ancient mobile
homes: filters for carbon-particulate matter to upgrade cleaning systems for
exhaust-emissions. A brighter future for old diesel-engines in Germany.
Camping has always been quite adventurous: In nature, on the highway or wherever. This seems to no longer suffice, the vehicles also are expected to be adventurous - yes they also have to be practical and functional - but now almost every camper, each tent and every caravan has to have that small, individual extra. At the CARAVAN SALON in Duesseldorf you will find a variety of adventurous vehicles to chose from.
Mens dreams consist mostly of curves. Or performance. Now they can have
both: with the man vehicle, which was introduced at the motorhome fair
CARAVAN SALON in Düsseldorf the typical man can enjoy curves in all forms,
female and those on the streets, and also have the performance of a great
Stereo System, TV and it goes without saying - the motor compartment.
Eine ganze Menge Platz und Komfort bieten heutzutage nicht mehr nur die „Dickschiffe“, sondern auch die kleinen kompakten Wohnmobile. Davon können sich alle Caravaning-Begeisterte auf dem Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf überzeugen, der am Samstag seine Tore öffnet und die weltweit größte Auswahl rund um die mobile Freizeit bietet. Gezeigt werden kompakte, vielseitige, aerodynamische, saubere und sichere Fahrzeuge, wobei sich besonders Reisemobile, die auch im Alltag einsetzbar sind, derzeit großer Beliebtheit erfreuen. Das Angebot der 570 Aussteller mit 120 Caravan- und Reisemobilmarken ist vom kleinen und einfachen Caravan für zwei Personen, über die kompakten Vans, Kastenwagen und Campingbussen bis zu den Luxus-Reisemobilen mehr als umfangreich. In Düsseldorf dürfte also jeder fündig werden, der mit einem Freizeitfahrzeug verreisen möchte – egal für welche Fahrzeugkategorie mit einer Preisspanne von 9.000 bis zu 800.000 Euro er sich interessiert.
Dinosaurs brought busy weekend traffic to a halt on Saturday but thankfully avoided causing a tyrannosaurus wreck. Both residents and tourists of Dubai were stunned to see a convoy of ferocious dinosaurs making their way to their new home in IMG Worlds of Adventure, the world’s largest indoor theme park.
Despite being escorted by Dubai police, one dinosaur was reported missing as the caravan roared through the city. A hunt to capture the fugitive dinosaur is on! Anyone spotting it is requested to report their sighting on social media using the hashtag #SpotTheDino.
The dinosaurs are a part of a collection of sixty-nine state-of-the-art animatronic creatures created by leading Japanese company Kokoro, which are now installed at IMG Worlds of Adventure, set to open early next year. IMG Worlds of Adventure is owned by IMG Theme Park L.L.C. and comprises four zones: MARVEL, Lost Valley-Dinosaur Adventure, Cartoon Network and IMG Boulevard. IMG Worlds of Adventure will also feature a 12 screen state-of–the-art Novo cinema with 3 VIP theaters and a giant IMAX screen.

A group of four minivans recently tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety for protection in small overlap front crashes shows some of the worst possible outcomes for this type of crash, with only one vehicle performing acceptably.
The Nissan Quest, the Chrysler Town & Country and its twin, the Dodge Grand Caravan, all earn poor ratings. The exception to the disappointing pattern is the 2015 Toyota Sienna, which earns an acceptable rating. It joins the Honda Odyssey, which last year earned a good rating in the test, in the ranks of TOP SAFETY PICK+ winners.
