Seven Motorhome and Camper Van Models for Long-Distance Travel

VinFast launched the locally assembled VF MPV 7 at its Subang plant in West Java on May 20, 2026. The seven-seat electric MPV features a 201 hp motor and a range of up to 450 km (NEDC). Price with battery is 420 million IDR, with battery subscription from 345 million IDR.

In May 2026, Goalpara Estate Camp (West Java) will start renting campervans for trips along the southern coast of Sukabumi. The vehicles accommodate 4–5 people and include a toilet, cooking equipment, and sleeping areas. Rental prices have not been announced yet. During the May long weekend, the campsite reached 100% occupancy.

Volkswagen brought the ID. Buzz back to the United States — complete with a mattress and curtains. A wildfire in Arizona burned down a dozen motorhomes, and Lake Tekir in Turkey flooded just as many. While Ibiza fines illegal campers up to €30,000, a retired couple from Mallorca has been living in 10 m² for five years and saving €1,400 a month. Plus: the largest campsite in the US at 607 pitches, a closed naturist beach on the North Sea, and Dolby Atmos in a trailer — all in this edition.

After almost 70 years, Bürstner has stopped making caravans — and nobody was particularly surprised once sales had fallen by a third. Sweden registered 62% more motorhomes and is preparing to let them drive faster. Chet Hanks moved into a retirees' trailer park in Nashville — for the country music career, not the savings. Plus a Korean workation site for 100 motorhomes, an unmanned trailer hotel on Hokkaido, and a gyrocopter pilot who landed on a highway and clipped an oncoming motorhome — all in this issue.

Bürstner has halted caravan production as demand fell 13%. Poland is proposing to scrap road tolls for campervans, while Liguria counts the cost of 8,000 motorhomes descending on the region. Tom Hanks' son has swapped Hollywood for a trailer in pursuit of a music career, and a French couple has driven 100,000 km from the North Cape to Senegal — and that's not even the whole story. All this in this issue.

A residential house designed to resemble a double-decker Agra Mas bus has gone viral in Kopen village, Wonogiri, Central Java. Owner Supardi, a regular passenger of the bus, spent about 125 million IDR on two buildings: a main one (4×5×13 m) and a smaller one, leaving space for a garage. The project is 50–60% complete, uses real truck tires, and features authentic markings including license plates.
