Belarusian family builds campers and rents them out

Anton and Anastasia from Minsk launched the SKYcamper startup, building and renting out camper vans. The first project (blueprint) cost $500, and building the first camper cost an additional $3,500. The fleet currently includes three campers (Forest, Cornflower, Gray), with a fourth under construction. Rental prices range from 80 to 120 Belarusian rubles per day depending on the day of the week. According to the founders, all 2023 revenue was reinvested into building new campers, with the business breaking even.

Onlíner has published a guide on renting campers and motorhomes in Belarus. The article lists rental prices ranging from 35 to 725 Belarusian rubles per day, depending on the type and duration. License requirements are specified: vehicles under 3.5 tons require category B, heavier ones require category C. It is noted that traveling to the EU with a rented camper is not possible due to restrictions on Belarusian license plates.

A family of skydivers from Belarus started building and renting out miniature teardrop trailers. The first trailer was built in a garage during winter, after which the couple launched the Skycamper brand. The fleet includes three models, including the new 'Vasilyok'. Weighing about 650 kg, the trailers feature a sleeping area, kitchen, autonomous lighting, and a solar panel. Registration of homemade campers in Belarus has become more complicated due to alienation restrictions, so the business focuses on rentals. Rental prices start at 80 Belarusian rubles on weekdays, no deposit required.

Belarus has started production of motorhomes based on MAZ minibuses and plans to develop infrastructure for them. The National Tourism Agency is considering creating a motorhome parking area near Mir Castle. The presented motorhome is equipped with a 150 hp diesel engine and designed for four people.

A network of campsites for motorhomes is planned to be created in Belarus. The project involves the construction of parking areas with a minimum set of services, such as electricity and water supply.

The BAMAP association has announced that Lithuanian trailers (semi-trailers) located in special parking areas in Belarus can now be retrieved. To reduce time and financial costs for carriers, empty European trucks are permitted to travel directly to these parking areas, including those not listed in Belarusian Council of Ministers Resolution No. 599, via designated border checkpoints (e.g., Kamenny Log) and customs clearance points (e.g., Minsk-TLC-2). The basis for the trip is a carrier's written statement for a specific trailer, and a navigation seal must be used throughout the route in Belarus in accordance with Resolution No. 688.
