Marjon van der Ven (58) from Wamel shared her experience of traveling in a camper. She started with a rental, then bought a Volkswagen van, converted it for high tea and high wine during the lockdown. After her husband's death and other events, she changed her outlook on life, travels without a plan, often with friend Janine, staying at small campsites.

Kia PV5-based Lightcamp camper: modular design and V2L

Dutch conversion company Vantrac has started mass production of the Lightcamp electric camper based on the Kia PV5. Its key feature is removable modules, allowing the vehicle to be used as a cargo van on weekdays and a camper on weekends. Inside, a sliding bed measuring 188×129.5 cm is installed, and a roof pop-up tent is optional. V2L capability provides up to 3.6 kW for external devices without a generator. Price in Europe: €65,000.

The 3-3-3 rule for slow travel in motorhomes

The 3-3-3 rule, promoted as a camping trend for summer 2026, limits daily driving to 300 km, arrival by 3:00 PM, and a minimum stay of three nights per site. Adapted from the US version (300 miles), it aims to reduce driving stress and campsite booking pressure. In Italy, the rule suits mountainous roads and traffic, allowing travelers to explore regions more thoroughly.

De Wild to host Radio 2 morning and afternoon shows from camper again

Ruud de Wild will swap the NPO Radio 2 studio for a camper from July 27 for a week during 'Ruud du Soleil'. He will present both his own afternoon show and the morning show while traveling with his team towards southern France. Live broadcasts will air from French campsites and historic locations, also on NPO 1 Extra. The project marks the transition between the old and new morning shows: Jan-Willem Roodbeen and Jeroen Kijk in de Vegte leave on July 31, replaced by Daniël Lippens and Roelof de Vries from August 3.

Easy Caravanning GetAway CS with fold-out bed arrives at dealers

Dutch manufacturer Easy Caravanning has started dealer deliveries of the GetAway CS. It is the production version of the GetAway TB prototype shown in October 2025. The caravan measures 4 metres in length and 1.85 metres in width, and features a fixed transverse double bed (2.10×1.45 metres), part of which folds outwards through a luggage hatch when parked. The rear seating area converts into a child bed (1.70 metres long), with an optional upper bunk, providing sleeping capacity for up to four people. The model lacks a traditional front locker, freeing up interior space; a pop-up roof with panoramic windows adds headroom and light. The GetAway CS is built in the Netherlands and is now on display at selected dealers.
