Kia PV5 electric van gains unexpected praise in Japanese camper market

The Kia PV5, a purpose-built electric van, has generated significant attention in Japan for its performance and features. Japanese automotive reviewers and media highlight its quiet ride, smooth regenerative braking, and premium interior as surpassing typical commercial van standards. The vehicle's V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) capability, allowing it to power camping equipment, is seen as a key feature, particularly relevant for a disaster-prone market. The response suggests a shift in perception of Korean vehicles in Japan's traditionally domestic-dominated camper and van sector.

23-year-old converts used motorhome with furniture from old apartment

Fliss Freeborn, 23, bought a used VW Transporter T5 for £8,500 (about $10,000) and converted it into a home on wheels using furniture from her old apartment. The total budget was around £10,000 ($11,900). An old TV stand became a kitchen unit, bed slats became a storage box, and bookshelf shelves were used for the table and bed platform. New wood cost $35, and a custom mattress cost $120. The motorhome has no built-in sink or stove; a portable two-burner stove is used. An auxiliary battery charged by the engine provides power.

British man concreted over wildlife reserve to create motorhome pitches

Michael Delaney, 39, from Sussex, England, must remove six motorhome pitches and restore a seven-acre plot he concreted without planning permission. Work began in August without an application, and inspector Paul Freer described the development as a 'flagrant, contemptuous and blatant' case of deliberate unauthorized building. The site is habitat for the protected great crested newt, adding an environmental dimension. The family has three months to vacate the motorhomes and six months to remove hard surfaces and restore the land.

Popular East Lothian campsite named the best in Scotland for the second year running

It was also a finalist in the Hospitality Champion of the Year category. In 2025, the site was named the UK's most dog-friendly campsite, and in 2024 it won two national awards.
