The market for electric camper vans is growing rapidly. According to a Dataintelo report, the share of electric recreational vehicles will rise from 2.1% in 2025 to 8.7% in 2034. Manufacturers such as Volkswagen (ID Buzz, 500 km range) and Mercedes-Benz (EQV, over 360 km) are introducing models with solar roofs, regenerative braking, and sustainable interior materials. Electric campers offer access to low-emission zones (LEZs) and lower running costs.

Canadian company Vancini Conversions unveiled a camper van built on a 2026 AWD Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 with a 144-inch wheelbase. The vehicle features off-road upgrades: a 12,000-lb winch, a two-bike rack, LED light pods, and flares for a transverse bed. Inside, it includes an induction cooktop, a 150-liter fridge, a Rixen’s hydronic heating system, a 920 Ah battery bank, and a 3,000 W inverter. The shower is a pop-up setup with a pan and curtain. The build targets off-grid travel without sacrificing comfort.

UK-based Wheelhome has launched the Dashaway ECT series of micro camping trailers for EV owners. Two variants are available: the single-berth ECTS and the two-berth ECT2. Packed height is 3.8 ft, pop-up height is 6 ft. The trailer includes a kitchen with induction hob, 12L fridge, sleeping area, optional awning for a portable toilet, and an off-grid power system: 3 kWh lithium battery, 200W solar panel, and 3,000W inverter. Prices start at £19,750 (ECTS) and £26,225 (ECT2).

Spanish manufacturer Ciclope has unveiled the Mencia 420 and 420e campervans based on the Ford Transit, replacing the Maxus Deliver 9 chassis. Prices in Spain start at 64,495 euros for the Mencia 420 and 72,760 euros for the 420e, excluding VAT, delivery and registration. Both are six-metre campervans with gas-free heating, induction cooking and a 150 Ah lithium battery; the 420e features a pop-top roof and four berths.

The prosecutor's office in Santa Cruz de Tenerife has requested a three-year prison sentence for a man accused of misappropriating €53,000 in a motorhome sale. Buyers paid €53,000 as a partial deposit for a vehicle priced at €86,000 but never received the motorhome or a refund despite repeated demands. Although the seller's son is the official partner and manager, the father acted as the authorized agent and controlled the company, leading prosecutors to charge him with taking the money.

A motorhome based on the Lada Granta, previously unknown to the European market, appeared in Spain and attracted attention from specialized media. However, buyers face a shortage of spare parts and difficulties with registration due to the engine not meeting Euro emission standards. The price starts at 13,000 euros, and the interior includes a double bed, kitchen, and shower. Experts note that the case is more an exception than the start of a mass trend, due to the lack of dealer support and strict safety requirements.
