In Brief

Pilote and Bavaria, part of the same group, have presented a new line of integral motorhomes for 2027, featuring angular styling, a trapezoidal grille, and LED lighting.

French manufacturer Pilote and brand Bavaria, both part of the same group, have unveiled a new generation of integral motorhomes for the 2027 model year. The front features an angular design inspired by automotive styling, with a trapezoidal grille and contrasting black-and-white elements. Changes also affect the rear, kitchen counter, and seat headrests. The new design is adapted for integrating advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).

The lineup includes 9 floorplans available in Expression, Sélection, and Evidence trims. In the G690D model, the bathroom and wardrobe area has been redesigned, adding 25% more height to the luggage compartment.

Couple lives in caravan in mother-in-law's garden, saves €24,000

Freya Gill and Charlie Thackwray, both 29, moved into a caravan parked in Charlie's mother's garden to save on rent. After a year in the older caravan, they bought an Elddis Crusader for around €4,800, then in June 2025 switched to a more modern Adria Adora costing €19,000. Living in the caravan allowed them to save nearly €24,000 toward buying land to build a house and farm. Monthly costs include about €180 for the plot, €65 for fuel, €155 for financing and €420 for food; they pay no council tax or water bills, and gas refills cost about €95 when needed.

Route du Rhum 2026: where motorhomes can park to watch the start from Saint-Malo

The Route du Rhum – Destination Guadeloupe race starts from Saint-Malo on 1 November 2026. The race village opens on 20 October. Motorhomes can use a municipal aire near the racecourse (open 24/7, with water and waste disposal, free shuttle to the centre) and a private site with electricity. Overnight parking is banned on seafront car parks, including the Davier car park. On race day, road access to Cap Fréhel from Plévenon is closed, and motorhome parking is prohibited at the cape and at Plévenon municipal campsite. A year-round motorhome aire is located 5 km from the cape in Fréhel (from about €13/night in low season). In Saint-Cast-le-Guildo, a free year-round aire with service point is available, but motorhome parking on the seafront boulevard is banned.
