Swiss startup Alpencamper has introduced the Eco Slide Out, a bicycle caravan weighing 52 kg with a sliding module that expands the sleeping area to 140 cm wide. Designed for two people, it includes a foldable table and space for a dry toilet, with 270 liters of storage. The model targets cycle tourists seeking a balance between light towing and basic motorhome-like comfort.

Karim Hamiti from Saint-Maurice-de-Satonnay converted a standard trailer into a mini-caravan with a 200×140 cm bed, folding table, and electrical outlets. The caravan weighs under 750 kg and can be towed without a special license. Hamiti rents it for €80 per weekend and plans to produce custom models priced between €4,000 and €5,000, well below commercial alternatives.

The motorhome stopover in Préfailles (Loire-Atlantique) is full even in late September amid rising petrol prices in France. Holidaymakers are shortening trips or distances: a Nantes resident, Marie-Louise, came with her husband for three days instead of a longer stay, and Daniel now travels for a few days rather than several months. Belgians Corinne and Pierrot are on a three-week tour of France, avoiding toll motorways to stay within budget.

On Monday at around 16:40 on the RN70 (northern branch of the RCEA) in the direction of Montceau-les-Mines to Chalon-sur-Saône, a truck driver misjudged the slowing traffic before the Pont Jeanne Rose roundabout. The truck collided with a motorhome and a car, triggering a chain-reaction crash involving other vehicles. Four people were injured: a 78-year-old man and woman in the motorhome, and men aged 57 and 24; all were taken to Hôtel-Dieu hospital. Traffic was cut for over an hour, causing a queue from the Pont des Morands exit to La Fiole.

In a new episode of the Vanecdotes podcast, Fiona Lauriol and her parents describe how in 2017 they removed Fiona's grandmother from a care home in the Paris region, where doctors had given her a week to live, and set off in a used 4.85-metre Hymer coachbuilt motorhome. The promised week turned into three years, three months and three weeks on the road. Inside, Fiona slept in the over-cab bed while the dinette converted each evening into a bed for her grandmother. The family now gives talks against the isolation of elderly people.

French tax authorities may demand housing tax (taxe d'habitation) from motorhome owners if the vehicle is used as a permanent dwelling rather than as a means of transport. According to Auto Plus, the tax office focuses on actual use: if a motorhome is parked long-term on a plot, connected to water or electricity and used as a residence, it may be treated as taxable housing. The specific tax on mobile land homes was abolished in 2019, but housing tax can still be levied if the motorhome is used as a second home or due to a declaration error. If a notice is received, owners should verify whether the vehicle remains mobile and, if necessary, file a complaint with supporting documents.
