Spaziou · Editorial methodology

How we choose, verify and update products.

A useful selection does not consist of adding stars. We try to separate data, context, compatibility, limitations and editorial opinion.

Basic principle: editorial selection and hands-on testing are different. If we have not tested a product, we do not write as though we have.

01 · The problem first

We start with the need, not with the catalog.

Before choosing products we define what problem must be solved: autonomy, cold, order, rest, security, water, air conditioning, access, pets or compatibility with a specific vehicle.

A product can be good and still not make sense for a mini-camper, a limited 12 V installation, or a person who needs to take it apart every day.

02 · Evidence

Where each data comes from.

Manufacturer

Manual, technical sheet, dimensions, power, weight, compatibility and official documentation.

Distributor or marketplace

ASIN, variant, availability, observed price and commercial data that must be verified when critical.

Users

Published reviews and experiences serve to detect patterns, not to convert an isolated opinion into a fact.

Spaziou

Calculations, comparisons, campervan context, document checks and, only where explicitly stated, our own hands-on testing.

03 · Compatibility

The same product does not fit the same in all vehicles.

For model-specific guides, we check the generation, wheelbase, height, doors, roof and other documented restrictions. If the documents do not establish compatibility, we mark it as “check before buying” rather than claiming it fits.

04 · What we compare

Actual use

Size, weight, consumption, installation, maintenance, storage and ease of taking it on the road.

Full cost

Not only the initial price: also necessary accessories, installation, consumables and possible electrical requirements.

Alternatives

We try to cover various budgets and explain when a simple option best solves the problem.

Limitations

A useful comparison should explain what the product does not do and in which cases we would not choose it.

05 · Images and links

Specific product when we talk about a specific product.

In the purchase cards we try to show the image corresponding to the linked reference and direct the button to the specific product, not to a generic search. Lifestyle photographs are mainly reserved for heroes, editorial context and inspiration.

06 · Prices and availability

A photograph of the market, not a promise.

Prices, discounts, seller, stock and ASIN may change. When we indicate an observed price, it should be understood as a time reference. The store is the definitive source at the time of purchase.

07 · Affiliation

Affiliate income does not make a product listing an automatic recommendation.

Spaziou participates in affiliate programmes. The prospect of commission does not replace editorial criteria or make an Amazon listing sufficient technical evidence. We may also link to products and sources that pay no commission.

08 · Digital tools and AI

AI can help the process; It is not the technical source.

Spaziou may use artificial intelligence and automation tools to support preliminary research, organization, comparison, writing, editing or site maintenance. Critical technical data must be verified against identifiable sources; an AI-generated response is not treated as a primary source.

09 · Update

We review, correct and remove content.

Comparisons can be updated to replace discontinued models, correct links, add images, incorporate new versions or improve the context. If you detect an error, write to us at hola@spaziou.com.
