Hmm, yoda_daro claims that this is a test to determine their sexuality...
Instruction The frames of the film merge for us into continuous movement due to ...
The culture of motorhomes in our time is developing every day. All thanks to the fact that new models of campers and trailers enter the market almost every week. And this is very good, because now they are gradually turning from an expensive toy into something that will soon be available to every family.
The designers of the French company Baluchon boasted a new small-sized motorhome, which can be towed by almost any car. The house was named Intrepide and will be an ideal choice, for example, for a couple. It is also curious that the design and arrangement of a mobile home provides for the possibility of traveling with pets.
The house has a modest and concise appearance. At the same time, the house really uses its internal space with maximum efficiency. And how could it be otherwise, because they made it in France, and there is an incredibly strict regulation regarding towed dwellings, which does not allow making any big motorhomes.
Inside the house, everything is quite “traditional”. Entering through the door, you find yourself in a small guest space. There is a sofa here, and a table for eating will also be laid out here. Immediately behind it is the kitchen with a sink, stove and oven, fridge and freezer, waste disposal system and a set of smaller kitchen utensils. One drawback is that there is not much storage space.
Immediately behind the kitchen is a bathroom with toilet and shower. There is also an Intrepide water supply nearby. Finally, you can go up the stairs and find yourself on the second floor. There is a sleeping place and a small office with sockets and a table where you can work, even while traveling. 
During the summer season and the time of holidays, trips and outdoor recreation, an increasing number of our compatriots are thinking about the prospect of acquiring portable mini-homes. In Europe and America, small motor homes have been given recognition and appreciation by travel enthusiasts, which is called "savages".
A small house on wheels, equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable stay in any weather conditions, can serve as a country house for the duration of your vacation. In this case, you do not have to worry about your summer cottage in the winter, because the motor home will be in the garage or in a guarded parking lot.
You can go on a trip, "taking" with you comfortable housing for a small family, which has the necessary segments for comfortable sleep and relaxation, cooking and the ability to perform all the necessary sanitary and hygienic procedures, both on the road and while in the parking lot.
Electricity for the operation of household and digital equipment for a country house comes from solar panels. Therefore, the use of such a model of living on a personal plot or just outside the city is advisable in the warm season, when the daylight hours are long, and the sun pleases us more often.
Portable house interior
Let's take a closer look at how the interior of a country house on wheels is equipped - how the designers managed to place many vital segments in a few square meters, integrate household appliances and digital equipment, do not forget about storage systems and cozy sleeping places.
Almost all surfaces and built-in furniture of the mobile home are made of light wood. Only the floor covering for the visual effect of expanding the space is made in a darker color. Such a total presence of wood creates an incredibly warm and homely atmosphere in which even away from home you can feel comfortable, safe and secure.
Despite the collection in one small room of zones, which are usually located in several rooms of an ordinary dwelling, the house does not look overloaded with furniture, appliances or interior details. Here you can even talk about some space, which is very important from the psychological point of view of a comfortable stay of several people in a small space.
In a small space, the zones have very conditional boundaries. The living room, also known as the entrance hall, smoothly flows into the study, meets the kitchen and dining room. We can say that the bedroom is located here, just on the upper level.
Storage systems are placed wherever possible so as not to interfere with movement around the portable house. The seats of the hallway-living room, which, if necessary, can be transformed into a bed, serve as a storage system for things needed on a trip. Small baskets are placed above the refrigerator in an original way. As a result, the usable space is used with benefit and a place for all sorts of little things in the quick access zone.
Another, perhaps the main storage system, is located under the upper tier, which is a sleeping place. Even in such a small closet, you can place all the necessary clothes and shoes for staying in the country or on the road.
The kitchen is a fairly separate room - a small narrow compartment. Despite its modest size, it managed to place all the necessary work areas, household appliances and even a sink for washing dishes. Not every kitchen located in a city apartment has the opportunity to wash dishes, looking at the beautiful landscape outside the window. All the small kitchen space is used to the maximum, even open racks for food and all sorts of spices are there. For Russians, however, it seems very problematic to transport a camper, inside of which there are open shelves with banks standing on them. Our roads will not yet be able to guarantee the safety of goods.
Just half a step to the left of the kitchen area and looking behind the curtain, we find ourselves in a bathroom and shower located in one small segment of the camper.
The shower "cabin" is actually a shower, located above a wooden tub, the space of which is limited by a curtain. This, of course, is not a spa at home, but the shower room performs its main functions - you can perform water procedures without leaving your portable home.
It is not easy to provide a utilitarian room with a sufficient number of storage systems without cluttering it up. But most of the space is occupied by plumbing. Therefore, various devices are used to save space.
The use of various self-made storage systems (or the hands of other craftswomen), which carry a piece of home comfort and warmth, helps soften the atmosphere of a portable home, bring it closer to the main place of residence of the owners of a country house.

Eco-friendly tourist mobile home for youth recreation
Built by a young couple from Iowa who want "less home, more life" - this traveling home is meant to be a fully functioning residence that can be taken and easily moved at will.
Beautiful, small mobile home with a sloping roof for a young family Built entirely on a trailer platform, the entire house can be transported from campsite to campsite and connected to typical parking systems.
Two-storey motorhome for young people The small abode consists of four rooms: a large living room, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. The living room in the attic occupies half of the space in the entire house. Various types of wooden and creative storage solutions are used throughout, creating a comfortable yet practical interior. Its two young residents and their dog traveled all over California on their project, proving the practicality of this motorhome as a real home.
The whole house is mounted on a conventional trailer frame, and is easily moved to any destination chosen by its owners. The only connections to the ground are the electrical cord and plumbing, both of which are easily stowed away while moving.
Finishing the outside with wooden light siding of a motor home One side of the motorhome, designed to face the neighbors, has fewer windows, and no windows at all next to the attic for the bedroom. This provides a degree of privacy for residents, even while camping.

Self-contained, self-sufficient gable roof mobile home
Built by a couple who want to minimize their environmental impact, this tiny mobile home is as self-sufficient as possible with solar panels and composting and resource recycling systems. In addition to expendable resources with maximum efficiency, the house differs from other sustainable buildings in a more passive and unique way: instead of being built on a foundation, it is completely mounted on a trailer. This prevents the destruction of habitat that inevitably accompanies the construction of even the smallest house on a piece of woodland. This allows homeowners to live wherever they want without leaving more than tire tracks when they leave.
Beautiful mobile home with a gable roof Miniature living space with year-round comfort is more than just an exercise in environmental friendliness. Its design is a condensed version of traditional architecture both inside and out, with woodwork on every available surface and comfortable furnishings. Working on such a narrow platform is a challenge for any designer, but this little home on wheels does a great job.
Ordinary house on wheels With the removal of the porch steps and a couple of utility outlets, the entire house moves completely at will, literally built on the chassis of a standard trailer. It's not aerodynamic enough for road travel, but any destination is accessible via secondary roads.
Using the motorhome in winter Two homeowners' cars side by side are wider than the trailer itself.
The interior of a mobile home with a gable high roof The interior of the motorhome is divided into several separate spaces, each with its own individual purpose. Even despite the limitations of the ultra-compact plan, the designers managed to avoid combining the purposes of different spaces.
Interior of a motorhome fully clad in wood siding 
A place to relax with a TV in a motorhome The living room is the highest separate part of the house with a sloping ceiling.
Narrow, long wooden motorhome Large windows with varying angles help bring in natural light at all times of the year, aiding visual contrast between the dark floor and lighter walls. The house is too small for corridors, so each room is connected in a more direct way. Each entry has its own personality. Access to the kitchen is completely open, the bedroom requires a ladder to get to and the bathroom has its own gated entrance.
The location of objects, equipment, furniture in a motor home Jars, baskets and other traditional functional items are part of the style of this mobile home on wheels, transporting occupants to the era of man-made household items.
Wooden kitchen in a motorhome Even the kitchen countertops are covered in wood. The only exception to the woodland design theme of this modern, wooden mobile home are the functional fixtures, contemporary stove and sink. Narrow shelving with open shelves accommodates all products that do not require refrigeration.
Large bed in a wooden house on wheels Like everywhere else, the bedroom area (which is actually a small platform above the kitchen) contains extra storage space. The double bed occupies almost the entire width of the attic, accommodating residents and a couple of wardrobes, but no more.
Bath and toilet of a cozy, eco-friendly camper A small bathroom in the trailer is located next to the kitchen. It has water recycling and waste composting - this allows the mobile home to have a minimal impact on the environment. The shower is made from a weathered barrel, with other practical items made from found items as well.

For this, resourceful people have adapted motorhomes or motorhomes. Every traveler's dream! We will tell you below which one is better to choose for the upcoming trip.
Kinds
There used to be one option - I took a horse, hitched a cart and went wandering. This is not a joke - before the advent of cars, circus artists, gypsies, nomads, moved only in this way (by the way, it was they who began to use “motorhomes”). There was no dwelling and everything needed was placed in a wagon.
Cars have not only made life easier, but also made travel more convenient. Now motorhomes for every taste and budget:
trailed - a dwelling is attached to the transport using a trailer
motorhomes or campers - accommodation is located in the cabin of the vehicle
Let's look at each in more detail.
trailed
Here is the link trailer. Such motorhomes are divided depending on what we attach to the car - a tent or a residential trailer (trailer).
trailer tent
The name speaks for itself - a tent is attached to the car, which must be assembled and disassembled at each stop.
There are extremely simple designs that only create a canopy and provide people with sleeping places. But there are much more advanced trailers that combine: a sleeping area, furniture, lighting, kitchen equipment.
The following brands of tent trailers are known on the domestic market: Skif, Picnic, Kupava, Viking, Camp-Let.
Residential trailer
There are completely different sizes - it all depends on the imagination and needs of the owner.
Benefits of using a caravan:
1. At any time, you can unhook the trailer and move on in your usual vehicle.
2. Low cost compared to motorhomes.
3. You can save on accommodation.
Disadvantages of using a trailer:
1.Low speed of movement on the road (no more than 80-90 km/h).
2. Poor maneuverability.
3. Many European cities do not allow caravans to enter.
4. When driving in a trailer, it is forbidden for passengers to be.
Motorhomes (campers)
Every traveler's dream! A compact apartment on wheels - you live and drive with all the amenities.
A camper is a hybrid of housing and vehicle. From the outside they look like a bus or minivan, but inside they look like an apartment or a studio. There are sleeping places, a kitchen, a shower, a toilet. Even the smallest camper model can be equipped with a TV, coffee machine, satellite dish, bike racks, etc.
During the movement, the conveniences are powered by a car battery, while parking - on gas or from an external source of electricity (in campsites).
Campers are: alcove, integrated and residential minivans (kastenvageny).
Alcove motorhomes
A distinctive feature is the superstructure above the driver's roof (alcove), which accommodates an additional double bed. The capacity of such houses is up to 7 people.
The entire structure of the residential module (walls, floor and roof) is made at the factory from special sandwich panels, which improves the thermal insulation of the motorhome. In addition, the living unit is much wider than a standard minibus, which increases the interior space of the motorhome.
$ Price - from 1 to 5 million rubles.
Integrated
Such motorhomes look like buses and differ in their individual design. Individual design has not only the main body, but also the cabin of the car.
Refers to premium or business class campers, as manufacturers complete models at the highest level. Due to the complexity of construction, the price for them is higher and produced in smaller quantities.
The driver's cab is fully connected (integrated) with the living compartment, so there is a lot of free space inside. The motorhome of such a plan can accommodate from 4-8 people.
$ The price of the new model is from 1 to 10 million rubles.
Residential minivans (kastenvagens)
In fact, it is a residential minibus with a high roof. Due to its small size, it is the most maneuverable on the road of all types of motorhomes.
In the van of the kastenvagen there is only a living compartment with the necessary furniture and equipment. The bathroom is rarely built in - there is too little space. Designed for 2 people.
$ Price - from 1 to 2 million rubles.
General layout
In most cases, the layout of the motorhome includes: sleeping places, a dining room, a kitchen area and a bathroom. Depending on the size of the interior space, these elements can be placed in the same room or in different rooms.
Dining room
The dining room is the main difference between a motorhome and other vehicles. It has a removable table and sofas around its perimeter, which can easily be used as extra beds.
Usually in left-hand drive motorhomes, where the entrance door to the salon is located on the right, the location of the classic dining room is on the port side. Two chairs are located across the table opposite each other or around the table in a semicircle.
Sleeping places
Sleeping places can be both separate and transformable. The former include stationary double or single beds, located, as a rule, in the aft part of motorhomes.
Transformable beds are folding sofas or beds formed during the layout of the dining group. A classic option when dining chairs transform into a double bed.
Kitchen
A full-fledged kitchen unit is a gas stove with 2 or 4 burners, a kitchen sink (on the same worktop as the stove), a refrigerator built into the furniture (single or with a separate freezer), cutlery boxes.
There are always several outlets next to the stove. They can be from 2 to 3 pieces. The mains voltage is 230 V. The power supply system functions only if the camper is connected to the mains using an extension cord.
Refrigerator is powered from the mains or from a battery. Some models of caravans on wheels allow you to connect a refrigerator to gas.
The kitchen area is complemented by upper shelves above the countertop. The kitchen unit can be located on either side or in the stern. The kitchen can be straight or angular.
bathroom
The c/a combines a shower, a washbasin and a dry closet and is the only room allocated to a separate room. Smaller motorhomes may not have a shower cabin.
Interior design options
Interior design in motorhomes can be anything. It all depends on its area and type, on the taste and preferences of travelers. Here's how to furnish your motorhome in style and comfort.
trailer motorhome
In a wooden motorhome with an area of 9 sq. m and a height of 240 cm has everything you need: a bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom. The house is made of lightweight natural materials - the facade and interior are made of oiled pine wood, and the floor is made of lightweight birch plywood. One of the facades is completely glass, so there is always light in the van.
Inside there is a sofa that converts into a bed, cabinets and drawers above and below the bed.
The kitchen has a small worktop, sink, electric oven and refrigerator.
You need to connect to electricity in campsites using a regular outlet - there is a switchboard in the van.
house bus
Its advantage is dimensions, so such a motorhome can be divided into several residential areas: an office, a kitchen, a toilet, a bathroom, a bedroom, a living room and even a garage.
There are solar modules on the roof, LED wiring, ventilation and a water heater. When the batteries are low, you can cook on the gas stove. The walls of the motorhome are insulated with a modern insulator so that you can travel comfortably in winter. Light wood interior.
The kitchen is spacious enough for an ordinary motorhome and is designed for two people. A deep sink, two-burner stove, microwave, refrigerator and built-in cabinets sit on a long wooden countertop.
Not all motorhomes have a separate living room. Here it consists of a large sofa, armchairs and a separate dining table.
There are even two workplaces with computers, drawers, sockets and a system unit. Everything is thought out and comfortable.
The bedroom is a large double bed located at the rear of the bus on a raised platform.
Above the headboard are two lamps and several wooden bookshelves. The highlight is a small glass hatch on the ceiling.
House trailer from the 70s
The interior is made in soothing white and gray tones, bright accents - curtains and bed linen with a floral pattern characteristic of the 70s.
The motorhome is very bright due to the large number of windows.
The trailer has a kitchen (white illuminated kitchen unit, two sinks, oven, stove and large refrigerator).
Dining room (dark wood table, two sofas that convert into a full double bed and a crystal chandelier on the ceiling).
Bedroom (two beds, built-in cabinets near the ceiling, two large windows on both walls).
Very cozy and bright house for travel.
American luxury classic
While Europeans produce motorhomes with minimal standard equipment, Americans create additional amenities - air conditioners, CD-audio systems, TVs, full-sized toilets and showers. For Americans, comfort is the first item on a journey.
They invented a system of sliders (retractable walls) to increase the living space of motorhomes. In many cases, this design increases the final cost of the motorhome.
Many important details have been thought of. For example, the sink (there are two of them, as in all kitchens in the USA) closes at the top, which turns the counter into a large table, convenient for cooking. The plate is also closed with a lid.
All stoves are gas, for 3-4 burners, with an oven and do not differ from home stoves. In the morning, the coffee maker will make coffee, toast will pop out of the toaster, the dishwasher will wash the cups, and you can have breakfast and watch your favorite show on TV. Like in a normal apartment.
The living room is primarily a cozy space for communication. Usually a wide sofa, a pair of armchairs, a chest of drawers, a plasma TV with a satellite dish are installed.
The dining room is designed mainly for four people who can accommodate at a large panoramic window. Under the seats is a storage space. At night, the dining area can be transformed into a comfortable bed for two.
In luxury motorhomes, the center of the bedroom is a spacious bed with bedside tables and built-in drawers for storing linen, a plasma TV. The minimum width of any bed is 90 cm, the maximum width is 200 cm or more.
The bathroom is in a separate room. There is a toilet on one side and a shower on the other. The bathroom area is ventilated. All plumbing is chrome plated. The bathroom has a heated towel rail and heated floors.
Here it is, the American dream in all beauty.
If you are still thinking about what to go to conquer the open spaces, then just weigh all the pros and cons of traveling by motorhome. To do this, we have prepared this table:

Description of all types of motorhomes.
trailed
For this model of motorhome, the link is considered to be a trailer. This option involves stationary rest and minimal road traffic. Thanks to a wide range of models, it is possible to choose a suitable trailer motorhome that has the desired dimensions and functionality.
The photo shows a compact trailer-type motorhome.
trailer tent
It is a self-assembly tent. There is no insulation in the trailer, so it is suitable for recreation only in the warm season. In the assembled state, the dimensions of the structure are no more than 1 meter.
The trailer houses sleeping places, and other auxiliary areas are under the awning. The motorhome trailer-tent is sometimes also equipped with a stove, sink or heater.
The advantages of such a motorhome are that it is mobile, small in size and low in price, unlike other campers.
The disadvantages include a small capacity of no more than 4 people and the need to constantly unfold and assemble the awning in case of a stop.
Pictured is a motorhome with a large tent.
Residential trailer
Mobile housing equipped with a toilet, shower, heater, necessary furniture and appliances. Another name is trailer-cottage.
Advantages of a caravan: the structure can be disconnected at any time and continue driving. The trailer-dacha has a low price and provides an opportunity to save money on living in a motel.
The disadvantages are the presence of poor maneuverability, as well as low speed from 80 to 90 kilometers per hour. You cannot stay in it while driving on the road, and many cities in Europe do not allow trailers to enter.
Motorhome or camper
A model in the form of a hybrid that combines housing and a vehicle. Such a motorhome on the outside is an ordinary bus or minivan, inside of which a whole apartment is equipped. Even small varieties of campers are equipped with a TV, satellite dish, bike racks and more.
When driving, all communications function at the expense of an auto-accumulator, and during parking - from external electrical sources.
Alcove motorhomes
The distinguishing features of a motor home include a superstructure located above the driver's cab. This alcove is supposed to accommodate an additional double bed. The motorhome can accommodate up to seven people.
In the manufacture of a residential module with walls, floor and roof, panels are used that improve thermal insulation. In addition, such a living unit is wider than a standard minibus, which allows you to increase the interior space of an alcove motorhome.
The advantages of this model is that it can differ in a large number of planning solutions. The presence of a cozy and warm double bed, which can be closed with curtains, is also an advantage.
Disadvantages: The motorhome has a peculiar appearance, poor maneuverability and has a high height, which will make it difficult to drive in some places.
The photo shows an example of an alcove-type mobile home with a canopy.
Integrated houses
Belongs to premium and business class campers. Outwardly it looks like a bus with a driver's cab and a body part of an individual configuration. Since the cab of the car is integrated with the living module, the interior space is increased. The capacity of such a motorhome is from 4 to 8 people.
For the production of semi-integrated models, a serial chassis is used, on which the living compartment is mounted. The most popular motorhome brands are Ford, Fiat, Renault, Mercedes and many others.
Pros: due to the side and panoramic windshield, a good overview opens up, sufficient capacity, the higher the speed, the lower the fuel costs.
residential minivans
They are a residential minibus that has a high roof. Due to their compactness, they are considered the most highly maneuverable of all types of motorhomes.
The van of the Kastenvagen assumes the presence of a living compartment with the necessary equipment and furniture items. Due to lack of space, a bathroom is rarely built in. Basically, a minivan can only fit two people. Kastenvagen can act as an ordinary minivan in everyday life, and at the weekend turn into a comfortable camper.
Advantages: good maneuverability, the possibility of daily use as a standard car.
disadvantages: little living space, small capacity, insufficiently high level of thermal insulation.

Cooking and eating area
A full-fledged area includes a gas stove, a sink, a built-in refrigerator, a separate freezer, as well as shelves and drawers for storing utensils.
Near the stove there are sockets 230 volts. Electricity is supplied only if the mobile home is connected to the network. The refrigerator can operate from the mains, battery or gas.
The kitchen block can be angular or linear. The location of the kitchen is supposed to be in the stern or along any of the sides.

What does the house look like from the outside?
A simple look has a motorhome trailer, which is easy to do with your own hands. Due to the skills of working with welding machines, an ordinary old trailer can become a tourist camper on wheels for traveling in comfort.
An equally ideal option is a motorhome based on a Gazelle minibus. The car has an optimally sized body, which allows you to get a roomy living compartment.

For the off-road mobile home, Kamaz is used. Thanks to a capacious body, the organization of several rooms is possible inside. The only drawback is that the truck is not designed to carry people, so you will need to additionally sheathe and insulate the wall and ceiling structures.
A number of nuances:
- To organize the light, the motorhome must be equipped with a battery and a control panel for supplying electricity.
- You can heat a motorhome using several types of heaters, for example, autonomous or gas. It is better to give preference to a gas cylinder, which can be used for cooking at the same time.
- An important point in the arrangement of the camper is the general ventilation system. An extractor hood should also be installed in the kitchen area above the stove.
- A motor home should be equipped with compact pieces of furniture. Folding wall-mounted structures, folding beds, retractable tables and other elements are suitable.
A selection of unusual houses
There are cool and exclusive mobile homes that are highly functional and comfortable. Such models are a luxury item.
