Two years on the road with a cat named Zhuzu — and not a single day of wanting to go back. We break down life in a camper van: where to find water, how heating works, what to do about electricity, and where to look for overnight spots. 7 countries, hundreds of places, and an honest account — from the mountain roads of Turkey to the coastline of Montenegro.
Comprehensive review of all RV and camper toilet types: cassette, portable, gravity, vacuum, macerating, dry flush, sealing, incinerating, composting and separating. Comparison of models, consumables, installation and annual costs.
Several municipalities in South Tyrol are implementing bans on overnight stays in vehicles on public parking lots. Authorities cite issues with litter and sanitation, while camper associations are challenging these measures in court as discriminatory. For instance, Wolkenstein has seen a decrease in campers since its ban, and Lake Kalter plans to introduce a ban with vehicle towing.
Authorities in South Tyrol have prohibited wild camping and bivouacking for motorhomes and caravans. A new model ordinance, introduced by the municipal association and the tourism department, strictly regulates overnight stays outside official sites. Violators face fines, with increased patrols by the forest service in protected natural areas.
The Franconian Lake District in Bavaria offers campers with tents, motorhomes and caravans pitches directly by the water. Popular destinations include Altmühlsee and Großer Brombachsee, featuring sandy beaches and water sports. The region provides both traditional campsites and glamping options, such as sleeping barrels at SeeCamping Langlau. A free guide to 42 Bavarian swimming lakes is available for download.
According to camping.info, several highly rated campsites in Germany offer pitches from 10 euros per night. For instance, Erlebniscamping Lausitz in Brandenburg starts at 10 euros, while Campingplatz Am Furlbach in North Rhine-Westphalia starts at 11 euros. The average price for a night in Germany in 2025 is around 40 euros. The CamperDays trend index indicates that families are planning more carefully, seeking affordable options.
CAMPWERK, a camping specialist from Velbert (North Rhine-Westphalia), will present four new products at the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf from August 28 to September 6, including a new category: pickup truck camper shells under the name Pickup Mate. The company, an exhibitor for 16 years, will display three camper shell models, rooftop tents, and trailer tents at its booth (Hall 3, Stand D70). Visitors can see the systems set up and try them out.
German manufacturer Kuckoo Camper from Baden-Württemberg has introduced the Max Offroad model (from €17,500), a compact caravan measuring 4.30 m in length, 1.98 m in width, and 1.89 m in height. It accommodates two adults, with optional child bed or roof tent expanding capacity to four people. Features include 16-inch alloy wheels with all-terrain tires, increased ground clearance, roof rack, and aluminum edge reinforcements. Weight starts at 420 kg, and the caravan is approved for speeds up to 100 km/h. The base version is intended for self-build, while fully equipped off-road variants range from €20,000 to €25,000.
The German manufacturer Sealander sells a trailer that transforms into a motorboat. The base price is 39,750 euros, more than double the price at its premiere in 2011. On water, the vessel reaches speeds up to 10 km/h, and on land it can be towed by a car with a B-class license. However, use requires special conditions, including a solid ramp for launching and compliance with weight limits.
For 2027, several manufacturers offer fully integrated motorhomes with a face-to-face lounge (vis-à-vis). This layout, featuring two opposing benches and a table, allows for dining, games, or relaxation. Prices range from under €85,000 for an entry-level model to over €150,000 for a French luxury motorhome.
In Schleswig-Holstein, the campsite 'Rosenfelder Strand', designed for 800 pitches, is experiencing high demand. Tourists arrive in motorhomes and caravans, confirming the ongoing trend of camping holidays in the region.
