A 19-year-old from Germany, exploiting a legal loophole for 16-year-olds to drive light motor vehicles up to 45 km/h, converted a moped into a camper with his father. The 130-hour build resulted in a vehicle with a foldable roof tent, a tea kitchen, and storage, which he used to travel through Germany and France to Spain. The 40-hour one-way journey covered 20,000 km without major breakdowns, despite avoiding highways.

Finally, someone has designed a camper trailer for electric cars. It was born from a failed idea: a roof box that turned into a house

Wheelhome has launched the Dashaway eCT, an ultralight camper trailer designed specifically for electric vehicles. The trailer weighs 340 kg, offers 3.94 m² of living space with a kitchen and convertible bed, and features a gas-free, all-electric system. Priced at £26,225, it addresses the range and weight concerns that plagued its previous roof-mounted prototype for the Tesla Model 3.

If Homer Simpson had designed a camper car, it would have been like this six-wheeled Cadillac with a coffee maker and TV

In 1978, Swiss designer Franco Sbarro created a mobile office based on a Cadillac Eldorado for Saudi businessman Joseph E. Adjadj. The vehicle, over seven meters long and weighing nearly three tons, featured four large seats, desks, telephones, a refrigerator, a coffee maker, and a TV, but no beds or kitchen. The project remained a single prototype, as it was considered too large, expensive, and ahead of its time for an era without remote work culture.

Volkswagen brought the ID. Buzz back to the United States — complete with a mattress and curtains. A wildfire in Arizona burned down a dozen motorhomes, and Lake Tekir in Turkey flooded just as many. While Ibiza fines illegal campers up to €30,000, a retired couple from Mallorca has been living in 10 m² for five years and saving €1,400 a month. Plus: the largest campsite in the US at 607 pitches, a closed naturist beach on the North Sea, and Dolby Atmos in a trailer — all in this edition.

€500 fine per person: fight against wild camping in the Slovenian Alps

From summer 2026, barriers will be installed on the Vršič Pass in the Julian Alps to regulate traffic. At the same time, local municipalities have increased penalties for wild camping: a fine of €500 per person. In Bohinj, motorhomes, campervans, and caravans are banned from forest roads year-round, and in July-August also from the Savica waterfall. At Lake Bled's central parking, motorhomes pay €3 per hour, and overnight stays are prohibited.
