Economic caravanning. How to save up on a trip with a pickup camper?

Fast travel on all of the roads

Apparently, this aspect may not have much to do with travel savings. However, think about how many roads you have to give up when driving a large camper or car with a trailer. These vehicles are not suitable for wilderness and unpaved roads. They do not work best on narrow sections and corners. Pickup camper allows you to plan the route so that it is the most optimal in terms of the length of the route, fuel consumption and possible fees (we must take into account toll roads). You can use the AZAR4 capsule pickup camper on highways without additional restrictions, on off-road roads and crossroads. Your pickup is adapted to ride in difficult condition. A powerful engine hides under the hood and generates spectacular performance.

Lightweight capsule in a streamlined shape

The shape of the capsule for the pickup is also important, as it determines the resistance of the air when moving on the road. AZAR4 is relatively small in size and has a streamlined shape that fits most pick-ups on the market. The structure is made of fiberglass and boatbuilding plywood, which translates into exceptional strength and lightness. Thanks to this, the mobile capsule is distinguished by its low weight and aerodynamic shape, which means that its presence on the pickup does not affect the increased fuel consumption.

For ease of movement on difficult terrain, it is important that the center of gravity is located in front of the rear axle at the lowest point of the load carrier. The capsule does not weigh down the pickup, which makes it much easier to overcome bumps and sandy roads. The heaviest AZAR4 equipment elements are arranged symmetrically, at the lowest level. This has a positive effect on lowering the center of gravity of the whole vehicle.

No additional charges

Traveling with a camper is associated with additional road tolls. We also have to pay more for parking, as well as for a possible ferry crossing. Deciding on a longer trip, it may turn out that the additional costs will be higher than our budget. In many countries, driving a vehicle weighing more than 3.5 tons requires the purchase of a completely different vignette. We will also have to pay additional costs if we decide to travel with a caravan. With an AZAR4 capsule pickup you travel in the same way as a passenger car, there are no additional charges and thus no costs.

Bring even more with you

When going to coastal areas or near lakes or other water reservoirs, many of us are probably planning water sports as an additional attraction during the trip. Renting is another cost. If you don’t have your water equipment, you will have to decide on a rental offer. If you store a watermobile or surfboard in your garage, you can take them with you. The same applies to road and mountain bikes, snowboarding or skis. Additional baggage can be transported on the viewing platform, where there is a place to mount luggage up to 100 kg. Taking equipment of larger dimensions, you have the possibility of towing on a trailer hook, such as a motorcycle or yacht.

Operating costs lower than anywhere else

During a caravanning trip, the daily operating costs should also be taken into account. This applies primarily to electricity, heating in winter and air conditioning in summer. The AZAR4 capsule for pickups uses advanced technologies that definitely minimize energy costs. Photovoltaic panels are installed on the roof, which allow to significantly reduce energy consumption. The system draws energy from the sun converting it into electricity available for all receivers. Moreover, the capsule has a monolithic casing. It is characterized by excellent durability, but also very good insulation parameters. Thanks to that we can save on air conditioning and heating with optimal thermal conditions at any time of year. The latest generation of maintenance-free batteries consume energy for the time it is needed. It is always best to look for savings first at the source, i.e. in the pickup capsule itself, which is a cheaper alternative to a trailer or a full-size camper.
