Mercedes-Benz Updates Marco Polo Camper with More Space and Tech
Original source: auto motor und sport

In Brief

Mercedes-Benz unveiled the updated Marco Polo camper for 2026, featuring a taller roof, MBAC smart-home control, and production moved to Ludwigsfelde.

Mercedes-Benz has presented the updated Marco Polo camper based on the V-Class. Key changes include a new double-layer aluminum pop-up roof that increases interior height by 10 cm and improves insulation. The awning, LED lighting, and magnetic sun blinds have been redesigned. Living-area functions are now managed via the MBAC system, operating like a smart home through a central display or smartphone.

Production has been fully transferred from Westfalia to Mercedes-Benz Vans' own plant in Ludwigsfelde, which the company says will shorten delivery times. The premiere will take place at the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf from August 28 to September 6, 2026. A simplified HORIZON version without kitchen and wardrobe is also introduced, expected to lower the starting price from the current 90,000 pounds. According to some sources, the starting price is around 80,000 euros, with diesel engines ranging from 163 to 237 hp. An electric version on the VAN.EA platform is due by the end of the decade.

Malibu is promoting its new Relax 640 LE R camper van based on the Fiat Ducato with a starting price of €57,200, but this price does not include a mandatory equipment package. With one of three packages (Active, Ambition or Exclusive), the minimum price is €65,040. In the base Active configuration, the vehicle comes in white with a 140 hp engine and manual transmission.

Professional driver Tobias Wagner, known online as Elektrotrucker, will depart from IAA Transportation 2026 in Hanover, Germany, on Sept. 20 in a converted Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 truck with a Bliss Mobil living module. The roughly 28,000-mile route will cross more than 30 countries on five continents over about a year, with a target of no more than 80 charging stops. The vehicle aims for a 621-mile range per charge, about double the eActros 600's normal fully loaded long-haul range. The expedition vehicle is priced at approximately $796,600 including tax.

LMC has introduced the e:dero 350 D, a travel trailer designed to be towed by electric vehicles. The 2027 model measures 4.79 m long, 2.23 m wide and 2.53 m high, with an empty weight of 613 kg and a maximum permissible weight of 1,100 kg, downratable to 750 kg. It lacks a bathroom and kitchen but includes provisions for adding them. Prices start at €13,490, and the unit displayed at the 2026 Dusseldorf Caravan Salon was priced at €15,580.

On Saturday afternoon, a vintage motorhome caught fire on the A952 autobahn near the Starnberg interchange. A 37-year-old driver from Munich noticed a burning smell and pulled into an emergency bay, after which heavy smoke came from the engine compartment and the vehicle burst into flames. Firefighters extinguished the fire, but only the frame remained. According to police, damage is estimated at around 40,000 euros, and the A952 was closed for half an hour.

In the German caravan trade, several well-known dealerships have recently filed for insolvency, creating risks for buyers regarding service and warranties. According to DCHV, the main problem is not a lack of customers but high inventory levels, price pressure, and financing. CIVD describes the industry as robust overall, citing stable registrations and growing camping tourism.
