Motorhome Depot organizes information evening for future franchisees

Instagrammer Rosanne van de Poll has published a cookbook for campervan cooking. The book contains recipes that can be prepared even on a compact gas stove, regardless of the size of the living space.

Dutch company VanTrack has introduced the LightCamp modular kit to convert the electric Kia PV5 van into a camper. The system features a removable kitchen module with an induction hob, a spacious cargo area, and integrated roof access with a tent. The base package costs approximately €10,000.

A kilometer-based truck toll will be introduced in the Netherlands on July 1, 2026. Motorhomes registered as M1 category vehicles are exempt from this toll, but owners of vehicles over 3.5 tons are advised to pre-register on vrachtwagenheffing.nl/de to avoid erroneous fines. Separately, since the end of 2024, a toll on the A24 (Blankenburgverbinding) near Rotterdam applies to all vehicles, including motorhomes, with payment required within 72 hours.

In most Dutch municipalities, caravans, campers, and trailers cannot be left on public roads for more than three consecutive days. Violators face a fine of 129 euros, and repeat offenses may result in the vehicle being towed at the owner's expense.

Motorhome owners continue traveling during cold seasons using heating in their vehicles. They choose Bergen op Zoom in the Netherlands for short spontaneous trips, paying for parking via mobile app at 10 euros per night.

New motorhome sales are expected to grow by 2.8% in 2026 despite an increase in road tax. Five used models on Marktplaats priced up to €25,000 offer savings of €75,000–85,000 compared to new vehicles. The selection includes a 2003 Volkswagen T4 California for €24,900, a 1998 Hymer B534 for €14,500, a 2015 Ford Transit for €22,500, a 2009 Knaus Sport Traveller for €23,950, and a 2004 Renault Bürstner Delfin for €23,500.
