Clever Vans, part of the German Pössl group, unveiled the Duo 540 — a 5.4-meter camper on a Citroën Jumper chassis. Starting at €53,813, it exceeds the €50,000 threshold noted in a separate overview of budget models.
Many modern motorhomes are advertised as sleeping five people but are only homologated for four passengers during travel. This is a widespread practice driven by strict safety regulations for travel seats and the 3500 kg weight limit for a standard driver's license (Category B in many regions). Manufacturers often prioritize living space and flexible layouts over the number of certified travel seats.

About 150 caravans of a French evangelical church have illegally settled on a meadow in Fischach, Bavaria, since Friday evening. The site is in a landscape protection and flood zone, without sewage or electricity. The municipality is seeking alternatives, but the nearby festival ground is too small. An ultimatum until Monday was ignored; fines are being prepared and eviction is considered difficult due to many families and children.
Volkswagen has introduced a new off-grid power system for its Grand California camper. The 600 and 680 models, based on the Crafter van, can now be equipped with two 40 Ah lithium iron phosphate batteries and roof-mounted solar panels (104 W for the 600, 174 W for the 680). According to the manufacturer, the usable capacity of the new battery is about 40% higher than the previous AGM, and its service life is roughly five times longer. The system is designed to extend the time spent without external power.
A Facebook user in the group 'Minicamper leicht gemacht' suggested hiding car keys in a magnetic box under the vehicle to swim worry-free. The community criticized the idea, noting thieves check such spots first. Experts warn that if a car is stolen using the original key, the insurer may deny coverage, considering the key's storage in an easily accessible location as gross negligence.

A 26-year-old man driving a Skoda Fabia collided with a legally parked caravan on Fössestraße in Linden-Mitte on June 30, 2026, at around 8 p.m. The car skidded while avoiding an oncoming truck, causing damage to both vehicles. Police are not investigating the truck driver. The incident highlights different parking rules: motorhomes can park indefinitely, while caravans are limited to two weeks.
The article discusses options for transporting bicycles and e-bikes with a motorhome. For short trips, folding bikes or e-scooters are suitable; for longer excursions, trekking or city bikes, including electric models, are recommended. Weight is a key factor, especially for e-bikes, which can exceed 30 kg. Rear carriers for up to four bikes are common, but axle load and total weight limits must be observed.
