Rainy days provide the perfect opportunity to explore a region's cultural treasures. Museums are ideal for immersing yourself in another world and discovering interesting exhibitions. But historical buildings, library halls, castles or churches can also offer fascinating insights in bad weather. There are often surprising highlights in many smaller and larger cities that you might never have seen from the inside if the weather was nice. So take advantage of the opportunity and let the culture inspire you!

If you reach your destination campsite and bad weather is forecast, find a flat site that is slightly elevated. This will prevent your campervan from standing in a puddle and surrounding objects from floating in the water. Position your campervan so that the entrance door and the possible awning area are on the windward side to keep the moisture out. If possible, choose a pitch near the sanitary facilities or the campsite cafe to avoid long walks in the rain.

Camping in rain and thunderstorms requires special caution when handling electrical connections. Make sure that the power cables are not permanently submerged in water. During thunderstorms, it is even advisable to completely disconnect the campervan from the power supply to prevent possible damage caused by overvoltage. Use splash-proof power cables with a sufficient cross-section to ensure your safety.

When choosing your PIA camper, it is advisable to choose a larger model that will give you more space inside. A camper with a wet room is ideal for hanging and drying wet rain gear in a separate area. When booking, find out about the camper's amenities to ensure it will meet your needs in inclement weather.

If the weather forecast doesn't bode well for your desired region, look for a campsite that offers additional facilities. Well-equipped campsites often have arcades for rainy hours, wellness oases, saunas or covered swimming pools. This provides variety and prevents boredom in the campervan. Find out in advance about the campsite's facilities and choose a site that offers activities and entertainment even in bad weather.

Although the adage "There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing" can sometimes be questioned, it is still important to be prepared with weatherproof clothing. Invest in quality rain jackets, waterproof shoes or wellies, and appropriate clothing for muddy conditions, especially if you're traveling with children. With the right clothing, you can venture outside and enjoy nature even when it rains.
