The smallest motorhome in Europe is electric and smaller than a Renault Twingo

A nurse from the Ore Mountains converted her electric Smart into a mini motorhome for a trip to the Polish Baltic coast. The 17 kWh battery will require about five charging stops of two hours each, which will be used as sleep breaks. The 14-day trip is planned for the end of April and will pass through approximately ten campsites.

A motorhome rolled into the Rhine near Rheinstetten due to a brake failure. The floating vehicle drifted for about 20 minutes, was towed, but then sank in the shipping lane, blocking traffic for an hour until it was recovered. No one was injured and no hazardous liquids leaked.

The German company Ari Motors has introduced the Ari 458 Pro motorhome, which is between 3.5 and 3.82 meters long.

The compact electric camper Ari 458 Pro for 2026 has been introduced. It is 3.5 meters long, with an area of 2.8 m² and a width of 1.49 meters.

The model is offered as a base platform for self-conversion, with a starting price above 30,000 euros.
