Toyota PROACE MAX Tanuki: new camper version

Gabino López, known as Maiky, from the Isla Bogado neighborhood in Luque, Paraguay, built a small house on top of his car. He uses it for sleeping at night to avoid disturbing his elderly mother. He works selling peanuts and plans to build a new mobile structure on wheels.

In Paraguay, interest in motorhomes is growing as an alternative to traditional tourism. In 2014, 21 motorhomes were imported for $139,000; in 2015, 15 units for over $130,000. Local manufacturers are considering assembly, and in the interior, wooden motorhomes are already used for mobile technical assistance.

Ramón Duarte, a former journalist, founded a business in Paraguay in 2020 manufacturing motorhomes and travel trailers. His company produces mini-campers priced around 35 million guaraníes and motorhomes for 60 million, with standard dimensions of 6 by 2.2 meters, built on lightweight chassis for towing by vehicles from 1500 cc.

American entrepreneur David Green is launching production of compact camper trailers Kampy R.V. EAS in Paraguay with support from the Vice Ministry of SMEs. The product is a collapsible trailer with 14-inch tires and 30 cm ground clearance, adaptable to different vehicles. The project reflects a trend of attracting foreign investment to Paraguayan industry.

An event for motorhome and travel trailer owners is scheduled from April 2 to 5 in Puerto Aragón. It is organized by APUBE with the invitation of the Barrancas Commune. The general admission fee is $30,000 per team for the four-day event.

A motorhome caught fire on February 3, 2026, at the intersection of Route 228 and Monteagudo Avenue. An attendant from the Axion service station was first on the scene with a fire extinguisher, followed by volunteer firefighters who performed cooling operations. The incident resulted in no injuries, with damage limited to the vehicle's electrical system and the driver and passenger seats.
