Antilope Van has presented the Flex 2 2026 camper based on the Renault Trafic L1H1. The camper without a pop-up roof is priced from 46,900 euros, with the Confort version at 49,900 euros. It offers a 1.95 m by 1.30 m bed, a kitchen with a 30-litre compressor fridge, an outdoor shower and a portable toilet. A 60 Ah lithium battery, 1,200 W inverter, 200 W solar panels and 40/20-litre water tanks provide up to three days of off-grid autonomy. The Flex 3 with a pop-up roof starts at 54,900 euros, and the Confort at 57,900 euros. Since 2021, over 1,500 camper vans have been produced, with a new factory near Caen planned for early 2027.

A study by the German research institute Ifeu found that a hotel night generates 22.1 kg of CO₂ equivalent per person, compared to 1.8 kg for a night in a camper van at a parking area. According to Ergo, the camper format produces 70% of the CO₂ emissions of a traditional car trip with a hotel stay. A survey of 52 affiliated dealers by Assocamp showed that for 63.5% of operators, the integration of solar panels, inverters and lithium batteries is the determining factor in purchasing a vehicle. The data and the guide 'Con il camper puoi' will be presented at the Salone del Camper 2026 in Parma starting 12 September.

In 2025, open-air tourism in Italy surpassed 74 million overnight stays, generating an estimated 8.5 billion euros in direct and indirect revenue. The 17th edition of the Salone del Camper will take place from September 12 to 20 at Fiere di Parma, featuring vehicles, accessories, and travel routes. Organizers highlight increasing demand for nature-based and wellness travel.

In Caprarica di Lecce, €33 million from the national fund for motorhome tourism remain unused after the first tender for managing a new motorhome area attracted no bids. Mayor Paolo Greco will meet with representatives of the VIC Salento association to discuss how to make the next tender more attractive to operators. The main issue is the requirement for prior experience in managing similar facilities, which limits the number of participants.

Open-air tourism in Italy reached a record 74 million overnight stays in 2025 across 2,600 campsites and holiday villages, generating €8.5 billion in revenue. Germany remains the main source market with 45% of stays, while Veneto, as the leading region, contributes €1.7 billion, about 27% of the region's tourism business. Demand for bungalows and glamping is rising, and the season is extending into autumn.
