After almost 70 years, Bürstner has stopped making caravans — and nobody was particularly surprised once sales had fallen by a third. Sweden registered 62% more motorhomes and is preparing to let them drive faster. Chet Hanks moved into a retirees' trailer park in Nashville — for the country music career, not the savings. Plus a Korean workation site for 100 motorhomes, an unmanned trailer hotel on Hokkaido, and a gyrocopter pilot who landed on a highway and clipped an oncoming motorhome — all in this issue.

Law & Regulations CA Canada

Canadian RV and Camping Associations Call for Action on Trade, Infrastructure and Taxation

The RVDA of Canada and CCRVA are urging the federal government to protect RV trade under CUSMA renegotiations, invest in campground infrastructure, and expand technician training. Approximately 95% of RVs sold in Canada are made in the US, making open trade essential for affordability and small businesses. The associations also call for reclassifying private campgrounds under tax law to lower rates from 50% to 15%, and for funding to upgrade electrical grids for EV charging. The industry supports 141,000 jobs and generates $16.2 billion in economic value annually.

Will high gas prices limit summer sales of recreational vehicles?

High fuel prices have not yet significantly slowed sales of RVs, boats, and motorcycles, but the season is just beginning. Buyers are increasingly opting for lightweight trailers towable by small SUVs and trading in larger motorhomes for smaller models. Dealers report that fuel savings are a consideration but not a primary reason for avoiding purchases. The full impact of rising prices will become clearer over the next six weeks.

Plus 21 kg of cocaine in a motorhome in Lanzarote, a fake eight-wheeled Mercedes-AMG G63 and a Starbucks coffee trailer in Seoul — in this issue.
