Highland Rigs builds ski camper for $175,000 with bed under the roof
Original source: Tarantas News

Highland Rigs has unveiled the Chino 2026, a camper based on a diesel all-wheel-drive Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with a long wheelbase and high roof. The price is $175,000, and the mileage is just 2,000 miles (about 3,200 km). It offers four sleeping places (an electric HappiJac lift bed and two sofas) but only two seat belts, which may be a concern for a family of four. The equipment includes a refrigerator, a two-burner induction cooktop, a sink with a filtered water tap, a portable toilet, a foldable Tetravan shower, 400-watt solar panels, a 3,000-watt inverter, a fresh water capacity of 36 gallons (about 136 liters), and a Rixen heating system. For winter trips, it has increased ground clearance, BFGoodrich KO3 tires, a roof rack with a ladder, additional lighting, and Starlink Mini. This is a one-off conversion, not a factory model; the standard Chino starts at $155,000.

Kiel Brewery Seeks Permit for Overnight RV Parking

Yard 65 Restaurant and Brewery in Kiel, Wisconsin, has applied for a conditional use permit to join the Harvest Host program, which allows overnight RV parking. The permit would limit stays to one or two nights, with a maximum of two RVs at a time, at the owner's discretion. City staff report the permit would not significantly impact neighboring properties, traffic, utilities, or municipal services. The city council will consider the request at its next meeting.

Strauss proposes new rules, services for vehicle residents

Seattle City Councilmember Dan Strauss has introduced legislation to expand services for people living in vehicles while limiting unpermitted motorhomes and travel trailers to two hours of parking on city streets. The Vehicle Resident Assistance Program (VRAP) would direct $5 million toward services, create a vehicle storage program for people entering shelter or housing, and establish a vehicle permitting system for those living in motorhomes and travel trailers. The legislation also updates the city's Junk Vehicle Law, which hasn't been updated in 25 years, and is scheduled for discussion by the Public Safety Committee on Aug. 11.

Ford Maverick Hybrid Towed a Camper 5,000 Miles at 16.2 MPG, but Its Oil-Life Monitor Told a Harder Story

A Ford Maverick Hybrid with the 4K Tow Package towed a 16-foot Bushwhacker Plus travel trailer weighing about 2,400 pounds over 5,000 miles, achieving a reported 16.2 mpg. However, the oil-life monitor dropped to 8% after 3,400 miles since the last oil change, suggesting an interval of about 3,500 miles under severe towing conditions. The route included 10% grades in the Bighorn Mountains and high elevations, increasing engine load.
