Used campers lose popularity in the Netherlands
Original source: Eemskrant.nl

In Brief

Demand for used campers in the Netherlands is falling due to high taxes and fuel prices. Sellers are forced to make concessions, shifting the market in favor of buyers.

In the Netherlands, demand for used campers is declining despite rising airfare prices. According to OSW, a platform specializing in private vehicle sales, buyers are refraining from purchases due to high taxes and fuel costs. OSW co-founder Renaldo Molenbeek stated that higher road tax and fuel prices outweigh the benefits of flexible travel.

Sellers are increasingly making concessions, and prices are dropping, while supply remains stable. Europeans prefer short trips, but not in campers due to high expenses. The market is shifting in favor of buyers.

On the A7 motorway in the Netherlands, a camper and a passenger car collided late Thursday afternoon. Both vehicles were traveling south when the driver of the camper, for unknown reasons, rear-ended the car. The impact pushed the car forward into the guardrail. Both vehicles sustained damage. An ambulance attended the scene to check those involved; no one required hospital transport. The accident caused traffic disruption on the A7, with part of the roadway temporarily closed. Earlier on Thursday, a serious accident occurred on the A7 near Wognum, where a van left the road and overturned, leading to the full closure of the A7 toward Den Oever.

Bulltron has introduced a 750Ah (9 kWh) lithium battery that, thanks to new cell technology, still fits under a campervan seat. The Polar version includes a built-in heating element to warm the battery before charging at sub-zero temperatures, plus Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules for remote monitoring and shutdown. It weighs 57 kg, has a maximum discharge of 500 A, charge rate of 250 A, 7,000 cycles, and R10 certification. The price is slightly over 4,000 euros, with a 5-year warranty that is voided by deep discharge.

Camperbeurs Hardenberg, held from 18 to 20 September at Evenementenhal Hardenberg, will feature a record number of activities: 50 presentations across three theatres and more than 150 exhibitors in eight halls. The programme includes talks by influencers, experts and builders, covering topics from travel to technical advice. Organisers call it the largest edition of the show to date.
