Caravaning Brno 2026

The Wilda caravan combines a weathered exterior with a modern interior. It features a wood storage compartment and space for a family. Owner Petr chose this style to deter thieves. A video report shows all details.

A group of enthusiasts from the Czech Republic converted a UAZ-452 into a motorhome, equipping it with a sleeping area, refrigerator, air conditioning and a drinking water tank. Sliding drawers for dishes and other items are located under the bed, while additional lighting, a large expedition roof rack with boxes and a folding awning are installed outside. The project drew online attention; some owners have added solar panels, gas equipment and even a shower to similar models.

The Czech Ministry of Transport proposes extending the validity of AM, A1, A2, A, B and B+E driving licences from 10 to 15 years and raising the speed limit for motorhomes weighing 3.5 to 7.5 tonnes from 80 to 100 km/h.

SvětKaravanů.cz has opened a specialised store for caravanning and camping equipment in Bavoryně, which it calls the largest showroom of its kind in Central Europe. The showroom displays a caravan, a motorhome and a camper van, along with tents, awnings and camping furniture. The opening follows the relocation of the central warehouse from Bavoryně to Příbram; the warehouse holds over 15,000 products and can dispatch about 65% of orders on the day they are received. In 2025 the company reported turnover of 300 million Czech korunas and handled approximately 80,000 orders; abroad it operates under the Padabo brand in Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Germany and Austria.

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles presented nine vehicles with different conversion types to journalists, including camping modules, bike and dog transport solutions. The company works with several specialist firms to keep the vehicle serviceable as a whole. Among the solutions shown are three child seats side by side in a Caddy, a suspension lift of several centimetres (conversion price around 70,000–80,000 CZK) and a portable battery station instead of a fixed solar panel. Renting a camping module from Egoé costs about 550 CZK per day; according to the dealer, roughly six out of ten customers who rent it once or twice eventually buy it.

Turkish manufacturer Başkent Karavan offers the Panzer 250 caravan at 264,990 CZK including VAT (219,000 CZK excluding VAT), significantly cheaper than competitors such as the Caretta 1500 (from 399,300 CZK incl. VAT) and Hero Camper Armstrong 2025 (579,000 CZK excl. VAT). The caravan offers off-road capability through raised suspension, rough-terrain tires and a weight of up to 750 kg, but lacks all-wheel drive and differential lock. The basic model does not include a battery, heating or shower; adding these brings the total to around 330,000–354,000 CZK incl. VAT. According to TownOut, the Panzer 250 is now listed from 225,000 CZK with a 60Ah battery and diesel heater.
