Light commercial vehicle market shifts: van can become camper, bus or mobile workshop

Malaga-based Spanish studio Malapata Studio, which released the camper van customization simulator Camper Van: Make it Home a year ago, has announced a new game — Book Nook. It is a simulator for assembling a miniature book nook, where players place decorative elements step by step without time pressure. The game is currently confirmed only for PC, with a Steam page and demo already available.

On the night of June 3–4, a caravan fire occurred in Poland. According to one source, it was in Kamienna Góra; according to another, in Jarkowice. No injuries reported.

In Poland, a category B driving license (up to 3.5 t) is sufficient for most campervans. Rental companies impose additional conditions: minimum age of 25–26 years and driving experience of 3–4 years. High-season rental prices range from 590 to 1,500 PLN per night depending on region and model, plus a service fee and refundable deposit.

On the night of January 1, 2026, a caravan caught fire on a private plot in Jarkowice, Poland. Firefighters from PSP Kamienna Góra and volunteer units from Miśkowice, Jarkowice, and Lubawka responded. No injuries were reported.

In Poland, demand for campers is rising, but high prices (new from PLN 250,000, premium models up to PLN 1 million) make financing essential. Loans suit individuals who want ownership, while leasing benefits businesses that can deduct costs. When choosing, consider total cost of ownership, including insurance, maintenance, and fuel.

Polish company Lorries, part of the Stalko group, has introduced the MT2 trailer with a drop-down platform for motorcycle transport. The patented lifting and lowering mechanism allows loading without additional ramps. The trailer can be folded for storage in vertical or horizontal position. The model will be tested by Motovoyager during an adventure motorcycle comparison in the A2 category.
