Découvrir
des paysages
en toute liberté !
Dans OH ! LIFE Magazine nous voulons être plus
proche de nos lecteurs. Et si les grands voyages, les
grands hôtels et les destinations paradisiaques sont
souvent à l’honneur, nous voulons tester un mode
de villégiature qui a vu son essort grandir de façon
spectaculaire dans la période Covid. J’ai à cette
époque imaginé le nom Mobibulles © . Cette idée
m’est venue pendant le confinement.
Les autorités communiquaient qu’il fallait rester
dans sa bulle familiale, d’où l’idée du camping-car/
mobilhome/motorhome, où j’ai proposé de parler
de «mobibules © » Pour mettre en avant un moyen
de voir du pays, sortir de chez soi, s’évader sans
risquer d’être malade ou de rendre malade d’autres
personnes. C’est une liberté totale en toute sécurité.
C’était tellement génial que les camping-caristes ont
été rapidement débordés. Le pire pour le secteur,
c’était les charges de nettoyages et désinfections
obligatoires comme chronophages. Pourtant, chacun

y a mis du sien et le succès s’est avéré encourageant.
Au point que non seulement les locations ont atteint
des sommets, mais, également les ventes de véhicules
neufs et d’occasion. A telle enseigne que les délais de
livraison ont créé problème pendant plus d’un an.
Vu le succès relevé par cette liberté mobile nous avons
voulu tester pour vous, grâce à la collaboration de
NOMADE-MOTORHOMES, et réaliser un reportage
d’une semaine complète, avec l’un de leurs véhicules.
Direction le nord de l’Italie, avec une étape à Côme,
puis une autre à Venise. De là, on remonte à Milan
pour assister au concert de Bruce Springsteen à
Monza. Ensuite retour en deux étapes vers la Belgique.

The Choice :
Nomade
Motorhomes,
A Must !
efficiency and organization that we were able
to verify throughout our trip, demonstrating
the high degree of professionalism of this team.
What’s more, compared with our first partner,
the vehicle made available to us is considerably
larger, and features equipment not foreseen
in the first project, such as a sanitary unit
with toilet and shower. As we were leaving
with three people, Nomade Motorhomes
spontaneously suggested a version equipped
with a pop-up roof, so that the third occupant
could enjoy royal comfort. This turned out
to be an excellent solution compared with a
hammock fixed behind the front seats...
At OH! LIFE, the idea of testing a
motorhome in the back of our minds
for some time.
The plan to attend a concert by Bruce
Springsteen and the E Street Band’s on the
last leg of his tour of Europe, in Monza
tour of Europe, in Monza, was beginning
to take shape.
Everything runs smoothly,
even when it’s not easy!
Because on June 7, the partner with whom
we’d been working on this project for many
weeks announced that he’d had to withdraw
at the very last minute, and we had to react
very quickly to meet our commitments. During
our visit to the Holiday Show last February,
we had met the young and dynamic Nomade
Motorhomes team. We got back in touch and
explained our project. They were won over
and decided to join us, despite the fact that it
was high season. That just goes to show their
sense of anticipation and precision. A quality of

BRUCE, WE’RE COMING!
Plume @ Eric HEIDEBROEK • Capture d’images @ Caminter 2023
During the confinements, the authorities required us to remain in our «bubble». And for our part, at the
editorial office, we wanted to present our readers with a solution for getting out of their homes in complete
safety. And we came up with the «mobilhome» formula, which lets you stay in your own bubble
while traveling... We then launched a series of articles entitled «Travel safely in your Mobibulle©». If
our journalists had this experience, we had none. So, as we had tickets for the Bruce Springsteen and
the E Street Band concert in Monza, we said to ourselves, «after all, why not.» We’ll even take the
opportunity to take a little trip to Italy... Here’s the story of a great experience!
12 13

Program:
1 - Lac de Côme, 2 - Venise, 3 - Monza, 4 - Turckheim
The concert is scheduled for July 25, so we receive
the motorhome on July 21 at 3pm. With
time to prepare it, we left Nomade Motorhomes
around 5pm. We had planned our trip
so as to leave in the late afternoon for the longest
stage (888 km), Beersel - Menaggio (Lake
Como). We would then leave Menaggio for Venice,
297 km away, where we would stay for 2
days. From Venice, we’d head back to Milan,
where a cab would take us to the concert at
the Monza circuit. The next day, we’d start the
return trip home, stopping off at Turckheim in
Alsace (420 km) and then heading for the Hannut
office (462 km), to give the motorhome a
good clean before returning at the agreed time
on July 28.
As recommended in the Nomade Motorhomes
instructions, it’s important to remember that
while driving a «Van» or a «Grand Van» is similar
to driving a very large car, you need to get
used to not only the width, but above all the
length. Remember to widen curves, especially in
built-up areas, to prevent the rear wheel from
climbing the kerb. Or, even trickier, in some
campsites when the «roadways» are more than
narrow... And trees tend to lean against the bodywork.
Fortunately, the occupants of these holiday
resorts are used to it, and provide excellent
service to the more novice.
Such was the case at the Menaggio campsite
on the shores of Lake Como. Admittedly a very
pretty spot with its small pebble beach, but their
fairly narrow, terraced paths don’t really pose
any problems, just on arrival and departure. A
little patience, a great helping hand and you’re
all set! Prego! «And that’s just as well, because
I wouldn’t do this every day,» said Marie-Pierre
CASEY in the 1985 «Pliz» commercial.
It’s also worth remembering that, while the
«Van» drives at legal speeds without a care
in the world, and brakes well, it’s important
to anticipate traffic conditions,
even more so than in a car. This applies
to slowing down and overtaking,
as well as steep climbs and descents,
due to their greater weight and higher
center of gravity. With a little practice, you
can manage the power required and the cooling
of the brakes. The Ducato started out as a utility
van. Burstner has done a good job with the
fittings, using high-quality materials. The beds
provide ample comfort. In the pop-up roof, you
benefit from wide openings that let you enjoy
the view. The mattresses are comfortable.
The blinds, cleverly integrated into the windows,
offer all the privacy you could wish for, and are
also very aesthetically pleasing, even if they need
to be operated with care. In terms of comfort,
space is at a premium, but getting around and
using the furniture is easy.
On the driving side, these FIAT vans are surprisingly
upright and the pedals are rather tiring.
It’s surprising that the Stellantis Group, which offers
these vehicles under different brand names,
has ergonomics that don’t provide the comfort
expected even of professional drivers. Indeed,
it’s easy to be surprised when, on approaching
a roundabout, the Ducato collapses on the front
wheel outside the bend - and not just the motorhome
in this test, we found that the Peugeot
14 15

a hotel concierge... and then, suddenly, we see a
minibus maneuvering. The driver tells us to head
for Zurich and take the Gotthard, which leads to
Italy. Elementary for those who know. And now
we know too!
St Gotthard road tunnel
And here we are, off we go again to tackle
this famous 16.9-kilometre tunnel through the
mountains. And it’s a smooth ride on the Swiss
freeways, all the way to the Gotthard...
The Ducato’s clutch sometimes disagrees, forcing
us to use the double clutch to relieve it. It’s
just that the going keeps getting tougher and
tougher, and the weather’s like hell!
It’s not a traffic problem that’s holding us up, it’s
the Swiss, who only let about twenty vehicles
through at a time. So you can imagine when
there are thousands of them... And a queue that
stretches for several kilometers.
For us, it took 3 hours!
When the road is finally free again, it’s still raining
and we notice that a greasy film is preventing
the windscreen wipers from doing their job. So,
at the first opportunity to stop - and this after
many kilometers, as the infrastructure doesn’t
allow it - we stop to remove a layer of paraffin
with «paper towels».
In fact, it’s because of the trucks stuck with us in
the traffic jam, which emit fumes of badly burnt
fuel oil - and, of course, extremely greasy fuel
oil - when idling and restarting. At five forty-two
in the morning, we arrive at our first stopover,
Lake Como!
van from «Monsieur Bricolage» had the same
tendency, not that you’re coming too fast! It’s
not only very uncomfortable, but also on the
verge of losing front-wheel grip.
On the other hand, roadholding is very good,
even on the winding roads of the Vosges, at legal
speeds and without any concern for precision.
For the purposes of this report, a 140 hp Fiat
Ducato did the job. Sufficient power and torque,
consumption over +/- 2,700km in the region of
450 euros, i.e. between 9 and 10 liters of fuel oil
per 100 km, but in its defense our timing was far
from that of holidaymakers.
We drove at good speed on all the motorway
networks. It’s worth noting that the Italian
freeways were perfect, and that the speed limits
were well thought-out and adapted to the
conditions and infrastructure we encountered.
From Beersel to Menaggio, we took the E411
to Luxembourg, then continued through France
to Basel.
In Switzerland, our gsm, which was in charge
of navigation, was unable to give us the route
to Italy... The reason was the price of access to
the Swiss Internet network, which charges 4G at
€12 per megabyte, and after 5 megabytes and
therefore €60, the account is blocked for security
reasons. Unless you give permission to the operator,
who will then put you out of business...
Telephony/Internet in Switzerland is a racket!
So, war is war. It’s 1 a.m., and let’s face it, we’re
lost! So we try asking directions, for example to

Lac de
Côme
Lake Como is a magical
place with an image
of luxury and opulence,
generated not least by
the residential choices of
numerous celebrities.
Not to mention the fact
that this place of
delicate charms is also
the setting for numerous
films and exceptional
events.
The inhabitants of Como
have understood this well,
and their paradise is visited
by a huge number of enthusiasts
who come to admire
the superb villas and the
tranquil calm of the villages
set against the foothills surrounding
the lake. The clear
waters, the almost Helvetian
cleanliness of the
streets, the Latin charm of
the inhabitants, the uniquely
fragrant coffee, the fruits
and vegetables of rare freshness
and powerful flavor. All
this generates a sense of
plenitude and inimitable relaxation,
all the more so because
the temperatures are
so pleasant. Not too hot,
not too cold, with the occasional
breeze to balance the
atmosphere.
Travellers make no
mistake make no
mistake, Lake Como is
an ideal place to spend
good times, enjoying
fine cuisine and
delicious local wines.
Several boat excursions are
available. These range from a
18 19

Cadenazzi, the luxury motorboat comparable
to a Riva, in which the stars travel or
shoot scenes from their finest films.
It’s also possible to hire a motorboat in the
image of the stars. Numerous captains offer
their services for around 450 euros for
a one- or two-hour trip.
You’ll discover villas whose gardens
plunge down to the clear waters, letting
your imagination carry you away to the
magical world of the inhabitants of these
places, be they rich or simply ordinary. The
lake makes no difference, offering its fullness
to everyone. Now, these private luxury
speedboat rides come at a price that
can’t compete with a public transport boat
ride. In fact, these boats are like buses,
ferrying passengers from town to town
around the lake in record time.
They offer a glimpse of the lake’s beauties
for just a few euros. The three of us paid
€13.50 to reach Villa Carlotta.
A sunny stroll with a refreshing breeze on
the upper deck. We could have continued
to the terminus, as it was no more expensive
and just as pleasant.

It’s now 300 years since the
Marquis Clerici of Milan
built Villa Carlotta in Tremezzina.
The villa
has had several masters, including
Princess Marianne
de Nassau, who gave it to
her daughter Charlotte for
her marriage to Duke
Georges II. He was responsible
for the development
of the botanical garden,
enriching it with
numerous rare species.
Perched on the edge of the
lake the villa Carlotta offers
an unobstructed view of the
blue waters of Lake Como.
Alongside it, on more than 8
hectares, its gardens are
refreshingly shaded, with
glades of luminous green.
The villa is home to extraordinary
works of art, displayed
in vast spaces that
show them off to their best
advantage.

Camping Venezia Village
We leave Menaggio and spendid
Lake Como for Venice, 460 km
away. The road is quiet, the
weather is good and the ride is
smooth. We arrive at the Venezia
Village campsite to find a place
that matches the photos we’ve
seen on the net. Everything is of
the highest quality, with generous
spaces for motorhomes and
well-defined vegetation. The relaxation
facilities are
The indoor swimming pool is as
pleasant as it is popular, and the
sanitary facilities are exceptionally
well-equipped, clean and
well-maintained, with comfortable
surfaces and music. Catering
is simple and very affordable,
so much so that we won’t be
using the camper’s kitchenette.
Our rating: 10/10, more than fair
prices and a warm welcome!

Venice
Our first steps in Venice on a
cab boat like the stars... It’s
another way to discover the
city, with a tour of the Grand
Canal and then a discovery
through a maze of canals
where you’ll come across
many gondolas...
The worst... The worst are the tourists**
So, to avoid being in their way, we’ll be taking
the Venetian route. Of course, we’ll be passing
through some tourist hotspots, but our guide
«Caminter» has concocted a more intimate itinerary
for us, off the beaten track. We discovered
real life, real Venetian scenery. We met craftsmen
and shopkeepers who work with Venetians on a
daily basis.
By talking to them, we were able to get to know
them without thinking of them as tourists. They
tell us about daily life in this special city, with no
cars and, instead, canoes to get from one nauti-
** Some «tourists» don’t respect anything, leave their
garbage everywhere. They pay and think they can get away
with anything. It’s sad for those who discover their remains,
their passage.
We journalists, can only observe the bitterness of the Venetians.
Yes, tourism is a source of income but a minimum of
manners and and respect would not be a luxury...

cal street to the next. Vegetable
growers run their stores
from boats, while building
contractors use «truck» boats
filled with platras or sand and
cement, as the case may be.
Venice is teeming with these
trades, moving through the
canals that tourists rarely, if
ever, visit. It’s easy to understand
why some people choose
Venice as their home.
Thanks to Aldo, who received us with respect and courtesy in this restaurant. Antico Capon.
The cuisine is simple with a touch of refinement. We recommend it!
It’s a city steeped in history,
art and elegance, where water,
sun and home all come
together in a very special atmosphere.

Peggy Guggenheim Collection
When we talk about art, we can’t help but think «Peggy Guggenheim», and
knowing that she rests in Venice for eternity is all the more reason to visit the
Collections she built throughout her life.
If you love the contemporary, the audacious, the exhaustive and the rare, you’ll
love her collections.
Above and beyond the perfection of the exhibitions, what stands out most is
Peggy Guggenheim’s fundamental work, which will give work to the artists she
supports, and you will discover the evolution of the work of her protégés.

Venetian mask creation workshop
Venice, with its centuries-old
carnival, is an undisputed
magnet for masks and
costumes. The lagoon is
the scene of an artistic
life renowned for its
refinements.
We met one of the artisans
who specializes in maskmaking,
Alfio di Contin.
He has three workshops in
Venice.
Mirta, one of his employees,
was busy finalizing an order
of over 300 masks for a
reception.
In the second shop, we
admired Alfio’s meticulous
work. Yes, he himself is
passionate about painting
and decorating masks. And
in the third workshop, masks
are formed from templates
or drawings and invented
structures. This workshop
attracts the most passionate
of Venetian art enthusiasts.
If you step into one of his
working areas, don’t be
surprised to be seduced!

28, 2023. An exhibition promoted by the Venezia Art and Design Assiciazione culturale in collaboration

Water Taxi
https://www.veneziaturismo.net/
On our first day, we took a cab to visit
Venice. A superb mahogany boat, driven
by a captain who took his time showing
us around Venice’s canals. His piloting
ensured our comfort and the best
viewpoints.
In Lake Como, the fare was 450 euros for
an hour, but we preferred a boat-bus
ticket at 13.50 euros...
Here in Venice, the three of us paid
140 euros for an hour and a half of
discovery and visual pleasure.
Complete happiness!
44 45

After Venice, it’s time to head back up to
Monza, where Bruce and the E Street
Band are waiting for us.
Since the start, we’ve been overtaken by vehicles,
many of them sticking to our side, and well, what’s
so special about us?
It’s only when we come across an Estonian coach
in a traffic jam, stopped on our right, honking at
us and waving «OH LIFE Go To SPRINGSTEEN
At MONZA» stickers that we finally understand...
So, as we had one large sticker left over, we
offered it to them, much to their delight!
And a little further on, to thank us, they offered us
two large cans of beer. A little later, a couple
waved to us. The driver, standing in line, waves
concert tickets out of his open window.
So it’s already on the road that we get into the
mood! It was really great!
We weren’t sure we’d be able to find a place to
park the camper van, in Monza, we decided to
stay at the Sporting Hotel in Brugherio.
It’s a three-star hotel, but what comfort, kindness
and service, worthy of a 5-star hotel! Highly recommended!
The cab they booked for us dropped
us off in Monza, another good experience.

A GREAT ATMOSPHERE AND A REAL SUCCESS!

Age 71,
and he’s fresh as a daisy!
The crowd cheers,
he doesn’t walk, he runs over
with his guitar at arm’s
length, to the traditional
«BRUUUUSSSSSS»
from the crowd’s hooting
crowd... which fades away at
the first chord of the Boss’s
guitar. And then!

BORN IN THE USA and it’s time to go home !
And there you have it, after a 4-hour concert with no posing, no weaknesses,
Bruce & The E Street Band filled the hearts and ears of thousands of
spectators. One comment, however: the quality of the sound, and its nonaggressive
amplitude, and yet we were under a column of sound. Fantastic
concert, extraordinary performance! Just one word to sum it all up:
THANK YOU! And welcome back to America for the rest of the Tour 2023!

For OH! Life and its partner
NOMADE-MOTORHOMES,
it’s time to return home.
In the same style as Colmar,
only a few kilometers away,
Turckheim offers a reassuring
face with its bourgeois
houses and wooded structures.
Turckheim (France)
Le Stammtisch
1 Place Turenne - 68230 TURCKHEIM - France

The medieval campsite at
Turckheim is a family-run
structure where many
regulars gather.
It’s a place that camping
fans will appreciate.
Services are of a high standard,
although the sanitary
facilities lack a little privacy
due to their suspended partitions.
But the clean showers
make up for it. Laundries
and other practical facilities
provide the necessary
comfort.
The town of Turckeim knows
how to entertain, and at the
Stammtisch restaurant we
were treated to a «Jambonneau
au Munster*» which
was not only hearty but also
extraordinarily tasty.
After this gourmet stopover,
enjoy a guided tour of the
town by folkloric characters.
It’s a great way to round off
this pleasant stop.
«Munster = strong cheese»
