Cubivan converts passenger van into camper

The Cubivan Camping System, developed by Florian Haller of Vanna Camp in South Tyrol, Italy, converts a passenger van into a camper using sliding and folding modules made of fiber-reinforced plastic with polyurethane insulation. The rear module extends and unfolds into a compact kitchen with a cooktop, sink, 25-liter water tank, and a small refrigerator, and also contains a slide-out toilet and shower. A roof module opens into a 200 x 200 cm double bed. The system will be available for the Ford Tourneo Custom, Mercedes Vito, VW ID. Buzz, and VW Caravelle. 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.

Italy: proposal to raise speed limits for car and caravan combinations

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.
