Wyoming 91Motorhome sales in Germany are falling for a third year, and rental firm Vanever has gone bankrupt. Also: a new disposal point on Tenerife.
Two years on the road with a cat named Zhuzu — and not a single day of wanting to go back. We break down life in a camper van: where to find water, how heating works, what to do about electricity, and where to look for overnight spots. 7 countries, hundreds of places, and an honest account — from the mountain roads of Turkey to the coastline of Montenegro.
Comprehensive review of all RV and camper toilet types: cassette, portable, gravity, vacuum, macerating, dry flush, sealing, incinerating, composting and separating. Comparison of models, consumables, installation and annual costs.
GEYOTO Technology Limited has published a technical analysis of using portable solar panels for motorhomes and camper vans. The material covers power supply issues, comparison with fixed roof panels, and recommendations for integration with energy storage. It notes that a 100W panel generates 400–500 Wh per day, enough for a compressor refrigerator but not for high-power appliances. It also states that permanently mounting foldable panels on the roof leads to damage and voids the warranty.
A van life community member shared experience with portable solar power. She uses a 400-watt foldable blanket panel that fits behind the front seat of the camper.
Modern RVs are increasingly expected to function as self-contained living systems, shifting the role of dealers and installers from component suppliers to system advisers. They must help customers balance energy generation, storage, and usage, considering real-world factors like roof space and climate. Common issues include underestimating daily energy demand and improper solar system sizing. External connection points and watertight cable seals are becoming standard, with products like Scanstrut's Ventura Series reflecting this trend.
Landship Customs and Sandy Vans have unveiled the Wabi camper van, based on a 2026 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500. The vehicle features a slide-out bathroom disguised as a closet, a tilting solar roof, and a walkable tempered glass skylight. The price is approximately $390,000.
California-based Sprouting Sprocket Studio unveiled the Hütte Hut, a teardrop camper with suicide doors that open the entire side wall. The wooden body is made of marine okoumé plywood, with a canvas roof and aluminum frame. It measures 4.27 m long, 2.03 m wide, 1.8 m high, and weighs 408 kg. The standard configuration costs $63,900. The model never entered production.
Sunset Park RV has introduced the Sun Lite 14FD, the smallest travel trailer in its Sun Lite series. Measuring 5.1 meters in length, it sleeps three and includes a bed, dinette, kitchen, and wet bath. Prices range from $13,000 to $20,000 depending on options and region.
The Chevrolet 454 big-block V8, introduced in 1970 in the Chevelle SS LS6, continued production for heavy-duty trucks and motorhomes until 2000, when it was replaced by the Vortec 8100. Unlike other large V8s that ended after 1973, the 454 adapted to emissions regulations, gaining fuel injection and a hydraulic roller camshaft. It was used in models like the Safari Trek, Fleetwood Bounder, and Winnebago Chieftain.
Papago Vans, based in Mesa, Arizona, has unveiled a camper van built on a 2026 all-wheel-drive Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with a 170-inch wheelbase.

Inside, it offers a kitchen with induction cooktop and oven, a bathroom with dry-flush toilet, a bedroom with a widthwise memory foam mattress, and a 32-inch smart TV. Power is provided by an 800 Ah battery bank and a 3,000 W inverter, with a 33-gallon fresh water tank.
