Luggage for the move to Friedland

A family relocation to Germany via Friedland usually means far more luggage than a normal trip: several suitcases per person, hand luggage, children's items, pushchairs, sometimes boxes with kitchenware, books and personal belongings. That volume does not always fit in a standard sedan or taxi.

The Volkswagen Caravelle Long offers one of the largest cargo areas in its class. With a full 7-8 seat layout the compartment behind the last row of seats fits 6-8 large suitcases plus hand luggage. With fewer passengers, folding down one or two rows unlocks substantially more room, enough for several medium-size boxes.

Recommendations: share the number and rough dimensions of luggage in advance; tag suitcases with the family name and a contact phone; pack fragile items separately and label them; keep documents and valuables in hand luggage.

At fuel and rest stops the driver stays with the vehicle and helps with loading and unloading. On arrival in Friedland we help carry items to the block, which matters especially at night.
