Pre-orders are open until December 31, 2026; market launch is expected in early summer 2027, with pre-orders granting priority and a €1000 discount.

A large fire broke out in a warehouse on Via Genazzano in Valmontone, used for storing boats, campers and agricultural machinery. The flames started around 12:00. The Rome Fire Brigade operations centre dispatched crews from Palestrina and Colleferro, supported by three water tankers and a breathing apparatus vehicle. By the time firefighters arrived, the fire was fully developed. No injuries have been reported. Law enforcement is on site; extinguishing and safety operations are ongoing.

Italian caravan associations have proposed raising the speed limit for car and caravan combinations to 100 km/h on motorways and 80 km/h on extra-urban roads. The initiative coincides with the Salone del Camper in Parma. Current Italian limits are lower than in most EU countries. The proposal is backed by InCaravan Club Italia, ACIT and the Tuttocaravan forum, citing modern safety systems such as hitch stabilisers and electronic sway control. Parliamentary and government review is awaited.
