Camping Vehicle Guide: From Motorhome to EV with V2L
Original source: IO+

The camping market is shifting towards lightweight pop-up caravans due to the rise of electric vehicles. For instance, the Rockwood 19OTG model weighs 589 kg and can be towed by a regular passenger car, while the Aero Cabin One offers expandable living space. Such models have minimal impact on an EV's range, unlike heavy traditional caravans.

Fifth Festivan: Rising fuel prices do not deter travelers

According to Statbel, diesel prices rose by about 18% between January and June 2026. Organizer Mila Evrard says nomadic travel remains popular, noting that it would take a much larger increase to deter people. The festival attracts over 3,000 enthusiasts and features more than 60 vans. Savings come from not paying for accommodation and the flexibility to adjust routes and trip lengths.

Motorhome stolen in Lontzen after two attempts, despite owner's dog

A motorhome was stolen on Rue de Liège in Lontzen during the night of 30 July 2026, after a failed attempt two nights earlier. On the night of 27–28 July, the same thieves tried to steal it but were foiled when the owner's dog barked continuously between 2 and 3 a.m. The owner checked the vehicle; police found it had been opened with an electronic device and a short-circuit attempt was detected, causing material damage.
