It quickly becomes clear: Today's trailers and vehicles have now very little in common with the "tear-drop caravan" of yesteryear. Caravans and motorhomes are increasingly being viewed as an economical and sound investment which are also fun.

Convenience and comfort on four wheels are becoming increasingly important. For example, some motorhomes have more luxurious fittings than many an apartment. With extravagant bathrooms, a flat-screen TV and a separate dressing room, you can lead a good life on the camp or parking site.

But it doesn't always have to be expensive: Small and compact caravans will also be on show at the REISE + CAMPING 2010. They are focusing on good basics and a simple but modern design and are therefore aimed at a younger public.

Low-priced, flexible and close to nature – those are the benefits of camping. Small two-man tents and large family tents will be presented at the REISE + CAMPING 2010. Naturally, you can crawl in and try them out. Or test the material and check out the waterproofness.

Very much in fashion: Tents "for throwing". Simply open the zip and the tent for up to three people unfolds by itself. Perfect for people who are at a new place every day and couldn't be bothered to repeatedly assemble and dismantle the rods.

You can also finish off your vehicles with the appropriate sun blinds, awnings, steps or rear racks. These are naturally all available in numerous models, sizes and designs. A visit to the REISE + CAMPING is worthwhile for here you will find all the equipment you need for your next camping holiday.

Germany's most beautiful camp sites will be presenting themselves. The operators know that a green meadow is no longer enough for many campers. Organised entertainment and wellness in particular are booming. Massages, saunas and a swimming pool are now just as much in demand on a camp site as at top-class hotels. Daily organised entertainment is a welcome extra, especially for families.

With the special show "Camping Country Germany", Messe Essen and its official co-operation partner, the BVCD – the Federal Camping Association of Germany - want to arouse people's desire for a camping holiday. The BVCD and its 12 state associations represent some 1,200 camp sites in Germany.
