Caracol Camper CEO identifies main issue for camper van users in Spain

The Ibiza City Council reported that most caravan owners in the illegal Sa Joveria settlement are leaving the site voluntarily. According to the administration, many rent caravans for €400–500 per month, and owners have begun removing them to avoid fines. Unattended vehicles will be classified as waste and removed.

On May 18, 2026, at the Benimar convention in Tarragona, Catalonia, the company unveiled the Tessoro T443 Stormline 2027 model. This 6.99 m profile on a Ford Transit 2.0 L (130 hp) base features the Stormline package, including a Ford Raptor-style grille, black bumper, metallic grey cab paint, and blue mountain-inspired decals. The trim is only available with the Northautokapp and Plus packages, ensuring a high equipment level: 150 L compressor fridge, separate shower, modular storage, lighter furniture, improved AGM battery, standard solar panels, and an electric drop-down bed with 1.91 m headroom. The price of the Stormline version has not been announced.

On Ibiza, where the average rent reaches €29 per square meter, some residents are turning to alternative housing. Therapist Yamile Mora rented a motorhome for €550 a month, but it lacked a shower and phone charging facilities. She used a municipal pool for hygiene and cafes for charging. Authorities evicted about 200 people from the illegal settlement where she lived.

A 2008 Polar Glacier caravan, featuring a sauna, full kitchen, and underfloor heating, remained unsold at a Klaravik auction in Sweden. The starting price was under €14,000, but the minimum bid was not met. The reason is a ban on public road use from December 2026 and no technical inspection since 2014.

Diana Cabeza, 31, from Toledo, moved into a 12 sq m motorhome to cope with the housing crisis and gain freedom. She runs a blog about motorhome life, sharing expenses and tips. Average monthly costs for this lifestyle in Spain range from €600 to €1,200, including financing, insurance, and fuel. Illegal overnight stays in natural areas can result in fines up to €5,000.

Fiat has unveiled the Ducato Camper Van with all-wheel drive. The model is powered by Multijet 4.0 diesel engines ranging from 120 to 180 hp, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Features include adaptive cruise control, lane centering, autonomous emergency braking, and a rearview camera. The cabin offers swivel seats, LED headlights, and keyless entry.
