VanLab has launched an official flat-pack conversion kit to turn the Kia PV5 electric van into a camper. Priced from 299 million KRW and sold through Kia dealers in South Korea, the kit includes a modular dinette, sleeping area, and outdoor kitchen, requiring no vehicle modification for installation.
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.
The Kia PV5 Cargo electric van, originally commercial, has become popular for camper conversion due to its subsidized price of 20–25 million won, half the cost of alternatives. Owners legally remove the partition, use V2L, and plan removable modules.
More than £3,000 has been raised via GoFundMe for a couple who lost their home in a static caravan fire on Undley Road in Lakenheath. The blaze, which started on Tuesday morning, spread to outbuildings, fencing and vegetation. Two people were taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital. The fundraising target is £9,000.
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.
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.

Foggy Bottom Holiday Home Park on the Shropshire and Powys border has expanded with five new lakeside pitches available for purchase.
