Motorhome overturned into ditch in accident

A family converted a decommissioned bus into a living trailer for five people. The work was done independently, making the project an affordable alternative to buying a ready-made caravan.

A new service station for caravans will be built on the edge of the Bobrky industrial zone in Vsetín this summer. The facility, costing over 800,000 Czech crowns with most covered by a regional subsidy, will offer chemical toilet emptying, drinking water refills, and electrical hookups for a fee, but will not serve as a parking area.

The compact electric camper Ari 458 Pro for 2026 has been introduced. It is 3.5 meters long, with an area of 2.8 m² and a width of 1.49 meters. A 15 kW electric motor provides a top speed of 70 km/h and a range of 120 to 230 km depending on the 15 or 23.5 kWh battery. The model is offered as a base platform for self-conversion, with a starting price above 30,000 euros.

A Zlín-based startup introduced the Caravanbox Coyot GT, a removable living superstructure for a trailer. The 270 kg construction is positioned as transported cargo, avoiding registration as a residential trailer. The complete set with a trailer and mattress is estimated at around 165,000 CZK.

Spain set a motorhome registration record — and immediately tightened the rules. On Mallorca, 150 caravans took over a sports complex car park because renting a flat costs more. Solar Butterfly returned from a solar-powered trip around the world, and Bryansk promises a camper for 3.9 million roubles — in this issue.

Boho Camper Vans has introduced the Buttercup camper based on a Ram ProMaster chassis, designed for self-sufficient living. The vehicle features a 500-watt solar array, a Starlink antenna, an energy storage system, and a 125-liter water tank. The project reflects growing demand for mobile living solutions as an alternative to conventional housing.
