Eura Mobil is expanding its Xtura range with a second model, the Xtura 656 HB. The 6.68 m motorhome (about 20 cm shorter than the Xtura 686 EF) sleeps four: two in a rear transverse bed and two in an electric roof tent that deploys at the push of a button. It is based on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with all-wheel drive, 190 hp and an automatic transmission. The base price is 183,400 euros. Standard equipment includes the roof tent, all-wheel drive, a panoramic roof, underfloor heating and a combined gas and induction hob.

German outlet T-Online listed six accessories to reduce common risks in camper travel: vehicle and drawbar scales, a gas level gauge, storm lines and pegs for the awning, electrical adapters and extension cables, and warning signs for Italy and Spain. The scales help avoid overloading, the gas gauge prevents unexpected empty cylinders, storm lines protect the awning from wind, adapters and extension cables ensure safe campsite power connections, and the signs make protruding loads visible. Italy and Spain have different requirements for the number of stripes and the border of such signs.
