Nissan Frontier Ultimate Build 2: Expedition Pickup with Camper and Full Autonomy

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.

The VinFast VF 8 Eco electric SUV attracts Vietnamese families with a balance of performance and comfort. Owners highlight instant acceleration, a spacious cabin with reclining rear seats, and the absence of gasoline smell, reducing motion sickness risk. The model features a 15.6-inch screen, dual-zone climate control, surround-view camera, and 10 airbags. With promotions until May 2026, the VF 8 Eco costs under 900 million VND, matching C-segment pricing while being a D-segment SUV.

A man named Son spent over a billion VND to buy a former television van and converted it into a motorhome. He takes his wife and children on trips every weekend in this vehicle.

Bürstner has halted caravan production as demand fell 13%. Poland is proposing to scrap road tolls for campervans, while Liguria counts the cost of 8,000 motorhomes descending on the region. Tom Hanks' son has swapped Hollywood for a trailer in pursuit of a music career, and a French couple has driven 100,000 km from the North Cape to Senegal — and that's not even the whole story. All this in this issue.

A family from Ho Chi Minh City embarked on a 7-day trip using a motorhome worth 1.5 billion VND (approx. $62,000). The vehicle includes sleeping areas, toilet, kitchen, and air conditioning, with battery autonomy of up to 4 days after 20 hours of charging. The total trip cost was about 10 million VND (approx. $410).

On April 26, the People's Committee of Son Tra District in Da Nang announced the dismantling of illegal tent camps on the Son Tra Peninsula. The growing number of locals and tourists camping overnight in coastal and forest-edge areas poses risks of wildfires, pollution, and traffic accidents. Authorities warned and forced the removal of tents, enforcing a strict ban on camping, cooking, and overnight stays in unauthorized zones to protect the ecosystem and ensure public safety.
