Dacia has introduced a "Sleep Pack" conversion kit for its largest SUV, the Bigster, turning it into a camper. The kit, priced at 1,748 euros, includes a boot box, a bed frame, and a mattress, creating a 1.9×1.3 meter sleeping area. The company also offers two tent options, one of which attaches to the tailgate to create a 5.6-meter long annex.
French company Borel and Romanian tuning studio Romturingia have unveiled two modifications of the Dacia Duster: a double-cab pickup and a single-cab version with an extended bed. The latter features the Bye Bye camping module, including a 150×190 cm bed, fridge, stove, sink, gas heating, and cassette toilet. The single-cab pickup starts at €37,900, while the fully equipped camper version costs around €60,000. The vehicle is powered by a 1.2-liter hybrid engine with 150 hp and all-wheel drive.
Slovenia has seen an increase in brown bear sightings near residential areas, including suburbs of Ljubljana. Travelers in motorhomes and caravans are advised to take precautions: do not leave food outside and keep dogs on a leash. Tow truck scams after breakdowns are also common, with unrequested companies charging inflated prices. Fines for missing vignettes or speeding are collected on the spot, and authorities may confiscate documents and vehicles.
In Slovenia, a traveler discovered 23 ticks and a nest with 30 eggs in the cab of his motorhome. He initially mistook the insects for dirt after a two-week road trip. Experts recommend removing ticks mechanically using gloves and sticky tape, and washing clothes at high temperatures.
Slovenian bike retailer Freestyle reports growing demand for Dahon folding e-bikes among motorhome owners. These bikes require no roof racks and fit into storage compartments. The retailer also offers Giant and Liv e-bikes with a subsidy of up to €500 under the Borzen program (up to 25% of retail price, max €500, for bikes priced up to €2,500).
On Saturday, a motorhome overturned on the Primorska motorway. Emergency services responded; firefighters from PGD Cerknica secured the scene, provided fire protection, and assisted in clearing the aftermath. Drivers were advised to exercise caution and adjust their speed to road conditions.
Motorhomes have been placed at the former border crossing in Rožna Dolina, which Italian police will use for internal border control from June 28 to July 15. No official information on their role is available yet from the Gorizia prefecture or police headquarters. Nova Gorica mayor Mirko Brulc called Italy's decision scandalous, stating that the threat from Slovenia is not significant. Slovenian police already advise citizens to carry identification when crossing internal borders.
A camper route through the Julian Alps in Slovenia has been presented. The tour starts in Ljubljana and passes through Bled, Kranjska Gora, the Vršič Pass (1,611 m), the Soča Valley, Bovec, Tolmin, Bohinj, and Škofja Loka. The route is only available in summer, as the Vršič Pass opens in early May. The pass is not recommended for large motorhomes and caravans due to steep turns. Wild camping is strictly prohibited in Slovenia.
