Bangles moved from Hamburg to Goslar, which is a quaint little town at the foothills of the Harz mountains, south of Wolfsburg.
Goslar has one of the few Christmas markets that extend passed Christmas. I went there a few years ago and probably walked passed Marcus's Concession stand.
Here are few images. I not sure how he managed to get Bangles right in the middle of town, since those typically are pedestrian only zones.

Looks like he snuck in there in the dead of night.....nothing but Christmas lights going on around him.

So pretty, the silver AS among the lights and cobblestones.

Hey guys,
long time ago, i posted my last pictures!
Coming doon!!!
We leave next week to Frankfurt/Main to attend "Ambiente show" with our products.
Pictures will be posted!!!!

...Wow, i spent today countless hours, to "dress-up" my Bangles!
After all these weeks living in, there was "some" dust etc. to clean up...!
Also, installed my new "box-spring" bed!
Based on a smart system for individual springs, called "FROLI", finaly something smart, made for RV's in Germany!
Very simple to install, very lightweight and soooo flexible!!!
I assume, i have now a better bed in Bangles, than @ home!

The best i could do, was the Matress heater! It's a two-zone unit, works on AC and there is no need now anymore to use the rear furnace! Soooo cozy! I tested it in very cold times (snow in Hamburg!!!) i can tell you, THIS is the solution for winter camping!
We start soon to "Ambiente" Trade Fair in Frankfurt, i will try to cross the fabulour Rhine valley, while driving home after the show and sent the most touristic pictures from Bangles i can do! (Wine, castles, mountains, Rhine-river!) More "Germany" is probably not possible, we have thousands of foreign tourists there. Numberous from Amerika as well!!!!

Looking forward to the pictures!

Roquefort, which Froli system/configuration did you get? I haven't seen the Froli before and am very intrigued by the concept!

[Roquefort]

Hi msimon.
The FROLI System is a german produkt, just google "Froli Bettsysteme" and you will see it. Their website is available in english, you see all details and can even order online!
They also do special tricky stuff to store plates and cups etc. i bought it all and can definitivly recoment their products!
A bit "pricy" but worth!!! No more rattle and rumble while driving from back-upwarts....!

[Roquefort]

You should get the system following your bedsize!
Each size is available, consider 1 inch as 2.54 cm. I spent some time and cash, but i sleep like on a cloud....!

[Roquefort]

See some pictures more tomorrow!
We left today Frankfurt Messe "Ambiente", was a good show!
We met a lot of customers from the US as well!
Ma pleasure was, the buying team from "Cracker Barrel old Country store" came again, they now are very interested in our product!
Hey girls & guys,,let's do some "Guerilla Marketing":
Once you stop in one of their "nice🇺🇸&#128077 restaurant stores, ask for olive-wood products...! this may increase their interest😜😜😜🇺🇸👍

[Roquefort]

We left the freeway and drove thru the UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE "upper mid Rhine valley"! An amazing trip, tiny roads and cute "germanä wine villages!
We used the ferry boat to cross the river Rhine, Bangles has an enormous overhang...! We "scratched the hitch badly while entering the ship.
Anyhow, an impressive trip! We bought wine, we stoppd often and enjoyed the nice spots, by ignoring the grey (!) weather.
We saw dozens of castles, very tiny roads between River Rhine and the Tracks from the railway...!
Anja followed in her Jeep, she made many nice pictures from Bangles!
Post this latet for you!!!

Please see some pictures from the "Ambiente show":

Yes, I Googled Froli and found that nickleatlantic.com sells the sleep systems in the US. They have two systems available here for RVs: "Travel" and "Star". I wondered if it was the same in Germany and if so, which system did you purchase? I think the "Travel" system has a lower height than the "Star" so maybe might not be as comfortable? I was curious about your experience as an actual user.

By the way, this entire "Adventures of Bangles in Europe" thread is utterly charming.

[Roquefort]

Hello!
Thank you for your coments about our "Bangles in Europe" thread!
It's my pleasure, that thousands if miles away ither Airstreamers are interested in "good old Germany" :0) !
Regarding "FROLI":
We used the "STAR-SYSTEM", aftermy memories ut was essier to set up and a bit (!) less costintebsive.
For our east/west queen we bought 1 Basic set + 1 additional set to fit 1.50 x 2.00 metres.
While the original mattres became "ugly", because if humidity UNDERNEATH, we decided to buy a brandnew "MALIE-METEOR H3" innerspring Matress, plus a "Memoryfoam-Topper", 8cm thick.
This make's a PERFECT "Boxspring" feeling, like in the most sophisticated 5 star hotels! (The heatpad from WALMART is the "cream ob the fruit"!)
We removed the thin, but heavy Plywood before and replaced it by 12mm super-lightweight plywood, used in Aurcrafts also (cheap stuff from di-it-yourself market).
We realized, the mattrass "moves" while traveling, also by night, i will make a "nice" sort if rail arround.
This will cover up also the now still visible "FROLI" springs.
Let me know, what you get fir a pricing in Amerika, i will compare here and if it's worth, i can sent the (tiny!) bix to you!
Today we will leave to the nirth sea coast, to breath a bit "Iode-air" and get rid of the cold!
Just fill up propane and pack up a bit "beach in wintertime" clothing!
We will either go to Belgium or to France, maybe via Netherlands.
A 300km trip only🇫🇷👍🍴🍷
Maybe some more pictures from Bangles later.

[Roquefort]

Hello my fellow Airstreamers,
