Caravaning Brno 2025 - international RV and camping show

Articles reveal common challenges of RV travel rarely shown on Instagram: limited space, parking difficulties, lack of privacy, high fuel consumption (10–15 L/100 km), and overload risks (3.5-ton limit).

Authorities in several wine villages and small towns in South Moravia, particularly in the Modré Hory area, are introducing restrictions on caravan parking. The measures are due to narrow streets not designed for large vehicles and complaints from residents. The aim is to prevent chaotic parking, including near wine cellars.

US manufacturer Modern Buggy has introduced the compact travel trailer Country Born CB14, designed for short outdoor trips. The caravan, about 5 meters long and weighing up to 1.5 tons, can be towed by a mid-size SUV. The interior is split into a sleeping area and a separate kitchen, with a cassette toilet located by the entrance next to the beds, separated only by a curtain. Prices in the US start from approximately $13,000 to $15,000.

Caravanbox from Zlín has started selling the Coyot GT, a folding living module weighing 270 kg that can be towed even by a Škoda Fabia with a 1.0-liter engine. Base price is 127,050 crowns (about €5,100).

A Czech enthusiast named Samuel uses his BMW E46, converted in Alpina style, for long road trips across Europe. The car is equipped with a roof tent and has covered over 100,000 km through countries including Albania, Romania, Greece, and Italy. The vehicle is not an original Alpina but underwent a full body restoration, 18-inch Alpina wheels, and mechanical upgrades for reliability. The story highlights that a modern motorhome or camper van is not necessary for travel.

The camp in Strážnice (South Moravia) has more than 300 caravan pitches, allowing guests to arrive without a reservation, unlike many other camps. Operators report growing demand for caravanning since the COVID-19 pandemic and are adapting infrastructure: adding electricity, Wi-Fi, grey water disposal, and planning larger, more luxurious pitches with water supply. The season is lengthening – some camps open as early as Easter and stay open until October. To cope with labor shortages, automated reception systems and vending machines are being introduced.
