Direct Cars unveils DC EVLIFE camper based on Kia PV5

Japanese company Direct Cars unveiled the DC EVLIFE camper at the Tokyo Camper Show 2026, based on the Kia PV5 Passenger electric van. The vehicle sleeps two people and includes a sleeping module, LED lighting, USB-C ports, and a 100 V AC outlet. Unlike large motorhomes, the DC EVLIFE is designed for short trips: the driver can set up a bed and spend the night without a tent. The electric powertrain allows lighting and device charging without running a diesel engine. Direct Cars plans to expand its Kia PBV dealer network in Japan.

29-year-old Kim lives in a caravan to fund her own restaurant

Kim Paridon and her partner invested all their savings in opening a restaurant in Wassenaar, so they live in a static caravan on her father's farm in Katwijk. Banks refused a loan because the previous business at the location had gone bankrupt, and the couple borrowed money from relatives. The living space is about 65 square meters, and they only pay for gas, water, and electricity. The municipality permits them to live in the caravan for one year.

Caravan no longer a status symbol but a choice for freedom

In the Netherlands, attitudes toward caravans and motorhomes are shifting: ownership is no longer taken for granted and is increasingly seen as a rational choice. A caravan stands idle for most of the year while insurance, maintenance and storage costs continue. At the same time, demand for independence is growing, with travellers wanting to decide their own route and departure time. Selling a caravan or motorhome involves factors such as age, condition, specification and accessories; renting is an alternative to ownership.
