Camper Van Summit Meeting 2026

The Camper Van Summit Meeting (CVSM) is an autumn vanlife and overlanding gathering held in the spectacular Salzburg Alps near St. Martin bei Lofer, organized by Vans & Friends. The four-day event brings together campervan owners, roof-tent campers, and overland travellers for a mountain-setting community camp as the Alpine season winds down.

The CVSM programme includes guided hikes up the surrounding peaks, campfire evenings with live music, van build workshops, and open conversations about nomadic travel and off-grid living. The Lofer valley setting — with its dramatic limestone towers and golden autumn colours — makes this one of the most visually stunning vanlife gatherings in the Alps.

Austrian court allows buyer to return rotten motorhome despite warranty waiver

The Higher Regional Court of Linz (OLG Linz) ruled that a buyer could rescind the purchase of a 2003 motorhome bought for €25,000 from a private seller. Although the contract excluded warranty, the court found that the seller, by arranging an inspection and promising to fix major defects, had effectively assured the vehicle's roadworthiness. A rotten wooden floor panel discovered shortly after purchase was deemed a hidden defect overriding the waiver. The buyer returned the motorhome and received the purchase price minus a usage fee.
