Electric campers: European study suggests solution to range anxiety
Original source: Autobahn

A European study, involving the Dutch SolarMoves project (TNO, Lightyear), found that integrated solar panels (VIPV) can significantly reduce charging stress for electric campers. A test on a Ford E-Transit in summer yielded about 10 km of extra range per day from solar power, while large trailers could gain up to 50 km daily. However, the report notes VIPV is not a replacement for charging infrastructure but a supplement, especially in sunny regions.

Electric camper Farizon Super Van: range and weight issues

Life in a camper is often idealized on social media, but reality involves constant struggles with condensation, overheating, and high operating costs. Most campers run on diesel with average fuel consumption of approximately 1 liter per 10 km, and switching to electric vehicles for heavy models is unlikely before 2030. Research indicates the choice for camper living is often driven not by romance but by high housing costs and necessity.

The base van starts at €16,500, while the camper version with a 230 km battery and camping package costs around €30,000. It is powered by a 15 kW (20 hp) electric motor with a top speed of 70 km/h. Interior height is 1.85 m, but the interior fit-out is entirely DIY.

Another caravan gets stuck under notorious bridge in Molenhoek

On Saturday afternoon, another caravan got stuck under the bridge in Molenhoek, which has become notorious for such incidents. This is the ninth caravan to get into trouble at this location. Despite clearly visible traffic signs indicating that caravans and motorhomes cannot pass through the narrow opening, drivers regularly attempt to drive under the bridge. This time, a couple from Brabant, staying at Camping De Oude Molen in Groesbeek, got stuck. The caravan could not be freed on its own, and a recovery vehicle was called to pull it free and clear the passage.
