New Japanese motorhome TR500 C-LH combines hotel comfort and compact size

A Peugeot Rifter owner outlined three key factors for selecting a vehicle for sleeping inside: interior space, cargo loading convenience, and a flat sleeping area. The Rifter's roof height (1855 mm) and width (1850 mm) significantly exceed those of a Toyota Wish (1590–1600 mm and 1695–1720 mm respectively), reducing the feeling of confinement. A wide tailgate makes loading bulky items easier. The official agre bed kit, installed after folding the second-row seats, provides a flat surface, though an additional mattress and careful luggage arrangement are needed for comfortable sleep.

The owner of the trailer music bar 'La Peña' (Spanish for 'club') announced a relocation due to the inability to continue operations at the current site after late autumn 2026.

After relocation, the bar plans to extend opening hours and rent out the space as a daytime rental.
