In Brief

Two new motorhomes have been introduced: the premium Rápido I96M on a Mercedes chassis and the compact Swan 599 camper for couples. Manufacturers are adapting to growing demand from childless travelers.

Valcaravan has unveiled the Rápido I96M motorhome at its new exhibition center in Beniparrell (Valencia). Built on a Mercedes-Benz chassis with an AL-KO platform, it features a 2.0 CDI engine (170 hp) and a 9-speed automatic transmission. Dimensions: length 7.54 m, width 2.35 m, height 2.95 m. It offers four berths and seating for up to five in the living area. Equipment includes an electrically adjustable XXL bed (160×196 cm), a 171 L refrigerator, a Truma Combi 6 heating system (optional Alde 3030+), and a double insulated floor.

Slovenian manufacturer Bravia Mobil has introduced the Swan 599 camper on a Peugeot Boxer base. Under 6 meters long, it features a transverse double bed, a bathroom with shower, and a kitchen. The base version offers three berths, with an optional pop-up roof increasing capacity to five.

These new models reflect a market trend: manufacturers are adapting to growing demand from childless couples, focusing on compactness, functionality, and specialized storage for sports equipment.

The Paradox of Modern Motorhomes: Five Sleeping Berths, But Only Four Passenger Seats

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.
