Zlín Bans Parking of Motorhomes and Caravans at P+R Lot

A Zlín-based startup introduced the Caravanbox Coyot GT, a removable living superstructure for a trailer. The 270 kg construction is positioned as transported cargo, avoiding registration as a residential trailer. The complete set with a trailer and mattress is estimated at around 165,000 CZK.

Boho Camper Vans has introduced the Buttercup motorhome built on a Ram ProMaster chassis. Key features include a red cedar interior, a 500-watt solar panel, a Starlink system, a battery bank, a 3000-watt inverter, and a 125-liter water tank. The project highlights a growing trend of using self-sufficient vehicles as an alternative to conventional housing.

Starting May 4th, Zlín is banning the parking of motorhomes, caravans, and cargo trailers at the P+R (Park & Ride) lot in Příluky.

Municipal police will enforce the new rules to free up spots for short-term parking, particularly due to the ongoing modernization of the nearby hospital.

An entrepreneur from the Czech Republic has become the official representative of the Polish company Camper4Mountain, which specializes in converting vans into campervans.

The motorhome accommodates six people and features an engine commonly used in the Citroën Jumper and Fiat Ducato.

Italians 3D-printed a motorhome from plastic in four days, Hyundai unveiled an 800-volt electric camper, and 34 million Americans are hitting the road. Demolitions in Turkey, bans in Scotland, and a woman who drove along the Baltic in an electric Smart — all in this issue.
