Custom motorhome Val with jacuzzi and five berths is a former truck — © Autoplus

A 2002 Ford Iveco Cargo delivery truck, purchased for £5,500, has been converted into a luxury motorhome. The project was completed by British carpenter Guy Williams in 12 weeks during lockdown. It features five berths, a kitchen, shower room, a hidden jacuzzi under the living room floor, and a cinema setup. The vehicle is used as a full-time home and rented out; a £1-per-ticket raffle aims to raise £150,000 for a workshop.

Weekly Digest #19 · May 4–10

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.

Finally, someone has designed a camper trailer for electric cars. It was born from a failed idea: a roof box that turned into a house

Wheelhome has launched the Dashaway eCT, an ultralight camper trailer designed specifically for electric vehicles. The trailer weighs 340 kg, offers 3.94 m² of living space with a kitchen and convertible bed, and features a gas-free, all-electric system. Priced at £26,225, it addresses the range and weight concerns that plagued its previous roof-mounted prototype for the Tesla Model 3.

If Homer Simpson had designed a camper car, it would have been like this six-wheeled Cadillac with a coffee maker and TV

In 1978, Swiss designer Franco Sbarro created a mobile office based on a Cadillac Eldorado for Saudi businessman Joseph E. Adjadj. The vehicle, over seven meters long and weighing nearly three tons, featured four large seats, desks, telephones, a refrigerator, a coffee maker, and a TV, but no beds or kitchen. The project remained a single prototype, as it was considered too large, expensive, and ahead of its time for an era without remote work culture.
