Motorhomes popular among Romanians showcased at Cluj fair

Dacia has introduced an optional Pack Sleep for its 2025 Bigster hybrid SUV. The module converts the cargo area into a double bed with integrated storage compartments. The solution is positioned as a budget alternative to full-size campers and trailers, allowing the vehicle to be used for daily driving.

In Ploiești, two local regulations (HCL No. 253/2021 and HCL No. 96/2009) explicitly prohibit parking caravans on public property, including residential areas and sidewalks. However, in 2025–2026, SGU Ploiești did not tow a single caravan because the police never issued such orders. As a result, despite the ban, caravans continue to occupy parking spaces in front of apartment buildings.

From July, the EU mandates additional safety systems for new motorhomes. Prices may increase by €1,000–3,000. The rules also affect DIY camper van conversions.

On June 27–28, the second edition of Ardealul pe Roți is held in Cluj-Napoca. Over 70 vehicles from 35 exhibitors are displayed near BTarena and Cluj Arena. Admission is free.

On June 18, a fire broke out in Boldești-Scăeni, Romania, affecting a house, an outbuilding and a caravan. The total burned area was about 300 sq m. Three fire engines and an SMURD ambulance responded. A 76-year-old woman was treated for a panic attack.

Border police at the Albița checkpoint detected a British driver towing an unregistered caravan. On June 13, 2026, a 23-year-old man presented the caravan with the same license plate as his car. Checks revealed the trailer was deregistered in the UK and not registered elsewhere. An investigation has been launched for towing an unregistered trailer.
