© KEC Motors

At the Caravan Salon 2026, KEC Motors presented its first Sprinter conversion. The Mountaineer Grand Expedition features an unusual layout: instead of a traditional dinette, there is an L-shaped bench with a pull-out extension and a folding table. The equipment includes a bidirectional drawer in the kitchen, a sliding toilet compartment, a transverse bed measuring 1.95 × 1.80 m, a 400 Ah LiFePO₄ battery, a 240 Wp solar panel, an off-grid air conditioner, diesel heating, and underfloor heating. The vehicle has a 10 cm raised suspension, a 5.5-tonne winch, and a roof hatch. Base price: from €185,000.

Sunlight has introduced the Cliff 540 Vanlife, based on the Fiat Ducato, which breaks with the standard camper van layout by omitting the rear transverse bed. Instead, it features a rear seating area and a main bed in the pop-up roof. This configuration targets couples or solo travelers who use the van as a mobile workspace. The model includes a partition to the cab, a fixed ladder to the roof, and enhanced living space at the rear.

Malibu is expanding its Relax range with the new 640 LE XR floor plan based on the Fiat Ducato. The main feature is electrically lifting longitudinal beds that create space for transporting bicycles and other gear. The model is equipped with a Truma Combi 6 diesel heater, a kitchen block from the Malibu Van Comfort, and is available in three trim levels. Price starts at 63,000 euros.

Adria has equipped its 2027 Alpina caravan range with an optional Signature Lounge seating group that converts into a chaise lounge or extra bed. The mechanism allows sections to rotate 90 degrees and backrests to recline, creating a relaxation area. The option is available for models 663 HT, 663 PT, and 903 HT, supporting up to 300 kg. Pricing ranges from €449 to €889 depending on the model.

Even when all devices in a motorhome are switched off in the evening, the auxiliary battery can lose a significant amount of charge overnight. This is often caused by consumers that continue to operate in the background, such as control units, refrigerators, alarm systems, routers, and charging electronics. While a single device may draw little power, the combined consumption can add up over time, especially during longer stationary periods. Campers are advised to check battery levels before and after standing time and to measure parasitic drain if unexpected losses occur.

The Strandbad campsite in Breitungen has made it into the top ten of the most popular places for campers to stay overnight in Thuringia for the first time, according to a user analysis by Pincamp, the camping portal of the ADAC automobile club. The site, located directly on the Werra and the Werratal cycle path, is between the river and a gravel pit. A site at the 'Thuringian Sea' takes the top spot. The Meyersgrund nature campsite near Ilmenau holds fourth place.

Drivers of large motorhomes should check a specific entry in their driving license before departure. The decisive factor is not the vehicle type but a specific value in the vehicle documents. Overlooking this can result in fines or loss of driving privileges. It is also important to distinguish between the document's expiry date and the validity of a specific license category.
