Salone del Camper 2026: smart and safe travel technologies
Original source: greencity.it

In Brief

The 17th Salone del Camper in Parma (12–20 September 2026) will showcase the latest motorhome and caravan technologies: smartphone-controlled lighting, lithium batteries up to 540 Ah, curved solar panels, and GPS-based safety systems.

The 17th Salone del Camper will take place in Parma from 12 to 20 September 2026. The event will feature the latest technologies for motorhomes and caravans: smartphone-controlled lighting and multimedia systems, lithium batteries up to 540 Ah, solar panels for curved surfaces, diesel heaters operating down to -40°C, and safety systems with GPS monitoring and insurance premium reductions. Tickets are available online at mailticket.it.

Earlier in 2026, the motorhome market shifted toward compact models up to 6 meters long equipped with smart systems. Manufacturers introduced lithium iron phosphate batteries, solar panels, and 3000 W inverters, eliminating the need for generators. New models such as the Dethleffs Globetrail 600 and Kyros by Caravans International feature transformable interiors and V2L systems for powering external devices. The use of eco-friendly materials and Level 2 ADAS based on Fiat Ducatoⓘ and Ford Transit was also noted.

Retired couple from Saxony spends 'Venetian night' at campsite: 'Then the caravan shakes'

On the RTL Zwei show 'Bella Italia – Camping auf Deutsch', pensioners Hannes (72) and Christine (75) from Saxony plan a 'Venetian night' in their motorhome. The couple, married for over 50 years, uses this code word for romantic evenings. Christine promised her husband an intimate night if the beer they brewed in the motorhome turns out well. Hannes said that during such nights 'the caravan shakes, sparks fly'. Christine bought a nightgown to surprise her husband.

Atlantis Mobility +: barrier-free travel

Italian company Atlantis, which builds motorhomes with a monocoque body in fiberglass or carbon fiber, has unveiled the Atlantis Mobility + project — a custom motorhome for a client with severe motor disabilities. Based on the De Luxe 695, the vehicle features a widened door, an external powered ramp, a reinforced floor with an aluminum honeycomb structure, and a fully gas-free layout (induction hob, orthopedic motorized bed with anti-decubitus mattress). The bathroom is made of fiberglass with a flush-floor shower tray, a sink shaped to allow wheelchair access, and grab bars. The electrical system includes solar panels, two lithium batteries totaling 400 Ah, and a 3 kWh inverter. The company is open to similar modifications on slightly smaller models like the 645, but advises against the 595 version due to limited wheelchair maneuverability.

Campground in Butera closed by authorities

Authorities in Butera, Sicily, sealed the Eurocamping Due Rocche campground and ordered an immediate evacuation of all guests. The closure followed an inspection by the NAS Carabinieri and municipal offices, which found the facility lacked required permits for accommodation and food service, had no health certificates for staff, and used water from a cistern that failed quality tests. Unauthorized concrete structures were also discovered on the site. Guests have five days to leave; the owner must demolish illegal constructions within a month.
