Dacia Striker: the return of a nearly extinct body style

A pilot project to create infrastructure for motorhome tourists in wine regions has been launched in Romania, initiated by VINARIUM and ADI Ținutul Vinului. The project includes a demonstration tour of Prahova wineries to assess existing infrastructure and inform landowners. Europe has over 12,000 such sites in France and 8,000 in Germany, while Romania has about 20. Minimum investment for a basic 4–6 pitch site is 15,000–40,000 lei, with average nightly fees of €15–35.

A Romanian owner is selling a camping kit for the Dacia Jogger on OLX that turns the car into a two-person sleeping space. Assembly takes 3–4 minutes, and the price is 1,400 lei. The kit consists of folding wooden panels stored in the boot and requires no permanent modifications to the vehicle.

Romanian publication Lovedeco compiled seven stories of people who converted vans and motorhomes into permanent dwellings. Budgets range from €800 to €20,000, and vehicles include a Volkswagen T3, Citroën Jumper, and a 1994 Ford. All projects share the idea that home is defined not by an address but by lifestyle.

On the July 5, 2026 episode of Super Neatza de Weekend, Liviu Gal, president of the Romanian Caravanning Association, presented a complete guide for motorhome travelers. The segment covered route planning, campsite selection, safety rules, water and energy management, and differences between off-camping and organized areas.

Wine expert Cătălin Păduraru has proposed the 'Autostrada Podgoriilor' (Wine Highway) project, linking wineries in the Dealu Mare region into a route for motorhome tourists. The first stop was at Feruccio winery near Ploiești.

The growing popularity of motorhomes in Romania was evident at a specialized fair in Cluj. Among the models on display was the Forster T699 HB, built on a Fiat Ducato chassis with a 140 hp diesel engine, measuring nearly seven meters in length and designed for four people. It features a fully equipped kitchen, shower and toilet, a double bed and an additional drop-down bed, a 142-liter refrigerator, Truma Combi heating, stationary air conditioning, a rearview camera, an awning, and large fresh and waste water tanks. The exhibited 2023 model with approximately 48,000 km was priced at nearly 60,000 euros. Compact Elnagh E-Van models, ranging from 5.99 to 6.36 meters in length, were also presented, with prices starting from 45,000 euros and reaching 52,000 euros for the Premium version.
