A Polish family, known as 'Przyczepowe podróże', shared their transition from hotel vacations to caravaning. After a rainy night in a tent, they bought a caravan and now spend more time in it than at home. They note that caravan life requires organization and teaches closeness, but they do not consider it suitable for everyone.

Firefighters were called to a serious fire in Nowęcino overnight. The blaze engulfed a building, two caravans and two vehicles. The report was received at 3:47 a.m., and multiple fire brigades from nearby towns, including OSP Łebieniec, OSP Łeba, KP PSP Lębork, OSP Wicko, OSP Strzeszewo and OSP Wrzeście, responded.

On April 19, 2023, a caravan caught fire in Chlebna. Firefighters arrived at the scene and extinguished the blaze. No injuries were reported, and the cause of the fire is under investigation.

The author introduces the term 'przydasizm' to describe the habit of caravaners to pack extra items 'just in case'. Switching from a caravan to a camper van forced the family to reconsider their packing habits and discard unnecessary items like a windbreak and an old volleyball due to weight and space constraints. The article also offers practical advice on reducing luggage, such as packing fewer clothes and washing them on the go, and using improvisation instead of carrying many gadgets.
