Original source: HeadLight Magazine

In Brief

Mercedes-Benz unveiled the updated Marco Polo based on the V-Class: new aluminum pop-up roof (+10 cm), LED lighting, audio system, and MBAC control. Orders open August 5, 2026.

Mercedes-Benz has unveiled the updated Marco Polo camper based on the V-Class. The key change is a new two-layer aluminum pop-up roof that increases interior height by 10 cm. The model also features LED lighting with adjustable color temperature, a removable awning, magnetic curtains for the cab, and a new audio system with eight speakers and a subwoofer.

Functions, including the roof and audio, are controlled via the MBAC app. Production has been moved to Mercedes-Benz plants in Ludwigsfelde (Germany) and Vitoria (Spain), which sources say should improve quality and shorten delivery times. Orders in Germany and Europe open on August 5, 2026. Prices have not yet been announced.

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.
