Transformation of a Ford E-Transit Electric Van for Vanlife
Original source: Automobile Propre

A reader named Antoine purchased a used 2022 Ford E-Transit electric van at auction for conversion into a camper. The L2H2 model with a 3.5-ton GVW and a 75 kWh battery was bought for €16,224, while a new one started at €57,655. Its height of 2.7 meters with a roof rack limits access to some charging stations, and the planned conversion budget is around €14,000.

Stellantis recalls K0 vans over AdBlue software fault

Stellantis is recalling more than 13,000 Expert and Traveller vehicles in France due to a software defect in the AdBlue system. The recall covers K0 models built between 17 May 2022 and 29 January 2024, including Citroën Spacetourer/Jumpy, Peugeot Traveller/Expert, Opel Vivaro/Zafira, Fiat Scudo and Toyota Proace. The issue is that a diagnostic function related to the emission control system may not meet regulatory requirements. The fix is a free software update taking about 30 minutes. Owners of camper vans based on these vans should check their vehicle's status using the VIN. A second recall addresses a fire risk in the engine bay, affecting vehicles built between 6 June 2025 and 22 January 2026.

Brittany tightens motorhome parking rules

Coastal municipalities in Brittany, including Quiberon and Lamballe-Armor, are imposing restrictions on overnight motorhome parking due to record tourist numbers. The measures aim to combat wild camping and ease traffic. Associations like the Comité de Liaison du Camping-car are challenging some bans in court, citing freedom of movement. Tourists can use paid service areas with water and electricity, and face fines for violations, such as €120 for an unpaid toll.

Vire Normandie motorhome area gets poor online ratings over dirt and lack of power

The motorhome service area in Vire Normandie (Calvados) has received negative online reviews due to overflowing bins and no electricity hookups. Travelers stopping there note that the town has installed a waste disposal point and water access, but no power connection. The municipality estimates that between 6 and 12 motorhomes pass through daily, with each visitor spending around 39 euros per day, contributing significantly to the local economy.
