In Brief

A motorhome parking lot in Alsfeld, Germany, remains full despite rising fuel costs. Tourists adjust routes by shortening distances and staying longer at one spot, but do not cancel trips. The city plans to expand the lot by 26–28 spaces in 2026.

The motorhome parking lot in Alsfeld, Germany, remains fully occupied despite rising diesel prices. Surveyed tourists are adjusting their itineraries by reducing travel distances and spending more time at a single stop, but they are not cancelling their trips. Some couples are considering switching to electric vehicles but find them unaffordable due to high costs and limited selection.

The city authorities plan to expand the parking lot by 26–28 spaces in 2026 due to high demand.

Additionally, dealer Suncoast Wohnmobile is hosting the "Womo Italiano" event on April 25–26, 2026, in Alsfeld. The exhibition will feature new motorhome models from Etrusco, Chausson, Rimor, as well as used vehicles. Visitors will be offered special discounts on purchases and rentals.

Nissan to Show Electric Camper Interstar-e Relax at Düsseldorf Show

Nissan and German converter Eifelland have developed the Interstar-e Relax, an electric camper based on the Interstar-e van.

Thanks to V2L capability, the standard Truma Eezy parking heater can run directly from the high-voltage battery, eliminating the need for external power or a diesel heater.
