US company BoatCamp has introduced a tent that lets you sleep on an open motorboat without drilling holes or laminating. The aluminium frame with mattress and canopy installs in under 15 minutes and sleeps two to three people. Pre-orders are open, but no European distributor yet. The first public showing will be at the Annapolis boat show in October.

Life in a Campervan: 2 Years on the Road — Real Experience and Tips

Two years on the road with a cat named Zhuzu — and not a single day of wanting to go back. We break down life in a camper van: where to find water, how heating works, what to do about electricity, and where to look for overnight spots. 7 countries, hundreds of places, and an honest account — from the mountain roads of Turkey to the coastline of Montenegro.

Vanlife in France: registrations up, new projects, and a fair after a break

France has 650,000 registered motorhomes and vans. Around Vannes and Auray, demand for van conversions is growing. An inventor from Vendée built a foldable catamaran for vanlife. A motorhome fair took place in Saint-Polien after a six-year hiatus.

Roof tent: a clever compromise between camping and vanlife

L’Automobile Magazine tested a TentBox roof tent in its special issue "Rouler différent, spécial vans." The device mounts on a vehicle roof rack and unfolds into a sleeping area with an integrated mattress, storage pockets, and ventilation. The standard version sleeps two, with a four-person option available. Installation requires two people due to the 60 kg weight. Driving with the tent causes aerodynamic noise from 80 km/h, increased fuel consumption, and a recommended speed limit of 110 km/h. Prices start at €1,000 for a two-person model and exceed €2,000 for a four-person version, making it cheaper than a motorhome or camper van but more expensive than a ground tent. The added height may prevent entry into low-clearance parking garages and toll booths.

New booking system turns Lynchburg’s honor-system RV campground into an overnight tourism play

The RV campground in Wiseman Park, Lynchburg, Tennessee, previously operating on an honor system, now has an online booking system and marketing support. The partnership between Moore County and the South Central Tennessee Tourism Association aims to increase overnight stays. Booking one of 18 sites costs up to $40 per night, with $30 going to the county and $10 to a marketing fund. Moore County ranks last in the region for lodging options, despite over 300,000 annual visitors to Lynchburg.
