Camper proposes using motorhomes as mobile rest areas for workers

Camper, a company specializing in campers and mobility, announced on August 9 plans to launch a B2B service providing motorhomes as mobile rest areas for workers at construction, logistics, and other sites. Amid stricter heat-related rest requirements, the company offers motorhomes equipped with air conditioning, seats, and charging ports, which can be relocated as work zones change. However, specific clients, prices, and pilot schedules have not been set, and the key issue is whether motorhomes can meet legal standards for rest facilities (minimum floor area of 6 sqm, height of 2.1 m, etc.).

Seattle moves to restrict unpermitted RV street parking

The Seattle City Council has proposed limiting street parking for motorhomes and travel trailers without a permit to two hours and banning overnight parking from midnight to 6 a.m. The rules would take effect in 2027, with enforcement starting by July 31 of that year; violators could be towed without prior notice. The Vehicle Resident Assistance Program (VRAP), introduced by Councilmember Dan Strauss, allocates $5 million for outreach, safe parking lots, and vehicle storage. Permits would be limited to individuals identified in a one-time street survey and would allow parking in designated industrial areas for up to 72 hours. The first hearing is scheduled for the 11th, with a vote expected in mid-September.

South Korean lawmaker proposes 10,000 converted buses for homeless youth

Hwang Hee of the Democratic Party of Korea suggested converting scrapped buses into housing for college students, claiming 10,000 units could be provided for 500 billion won. After backlash, he deleted the post and called it a 'pure idea'. However, calculations show 50 million won per unit is insufficient for conversion, infrastructure, and land. Legal status and liability in case of accidents remain unclear.

Nissan turns electric van into self-heating camper for €89,900

Iferland's Relax conversion allows the Nissan Interstar-e to run a parking heater solely from the traction battery, without external power. The price is €89,900. The base Interstar-e has an 87 kWh battery, a 143 hp electric motor, 300 Nm of torque, and supports DC fast charging up to 130 kW. WLTP range is up to 460 km, but real-world range for a loaded camper is unverified. The interior includes a fixed bed (1.90×1.60 m), a 90-liter fridge, an induction hob, a sink, and a portable toilet. The Truma Eezy heater operates on 230 V AC, requiring a converter between the battery and heater. Iferland sells the unconverted electric Interstar for €84,900, a difference of €5,000.

Eifelland Relax based on Nissan Interstar-e: camper with gas-free heating for €89,900

The new Eifelland Relax, built on the Nissan Interstar-e, draws heating power directly from the traction battery via V2L, eliminating the need for gas cylinders, diesel generators, or campsite hookups. WLTP range is 410 km, and the price starts at €89,900. The public debut will take place at the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf from August 28 to September 6, 2026. Standard equipment includes an 87 kWh battery, a 143 hp electric motor with 300 Nm of torque, DC fast charging up to 130 kW, and a three-phase 22 kW AC charger. The manufacturer has not released real-world range figures for the fully equipped vehicle; the Truma Eezy heater has a maximum output of 1.8 kW, which over eight hours of continuous operation would consume about 14.4 kWh (roughly 17% of battery capacity). Inside, there is a fixed bed measuring 1.90×1.60 m, an induction hob, a sink, and a 90-liter refrigerator. Payload is limited to 435 kg at a gross weight of 3.5 tons.
