Campervans are conquering the Czech Republic

A Zlín-based startup introduced the Caravanbox Coyot GT, a removable living superstructure for a trailer. The 270 kg construction is positioned as transported cargo, avoiding registration as a residential trailer. The complete set with a trailer and mattress is estimated at around 165,000 CZK.

Boho Camper Vans has introduced the Buttercup motorhome built on a Ram ProMaster chassis. Key features include a red cedar interior, a 500-watt solar panel, a Starlink system, a battery bank, a 3000-watt inverter, and a 125-liter water tank. The project highlights a growing trend of using self-sufficient vehicles as an alternative to conventional housing.

Starting May 4th, Zlín is banning the parking of motorhomes, caravans, and cargo trailers at the P+R (Park & Ride) lot in Příluky. The ban is a response to the lot being used for long-term vehicle storage, reducing spaces for daily commuters. Municipal police will enforce the new rules to free up spots for short-term parking, particularly due to the ongoing modernization of the nearby hospital.

The Sazka Klub loyalty program is running an exclusive raffle for a PLA Happy 440 motorhome worth 1.2 million CZK throughout April. Registered club members who meet one of the conditions, such as topping up a SAZKAmobil phone number, by April 28th are automatically entered. The motorhome accommodates six people and features an engine commonly used in the Citroën Jumper and Fiat Ducato.

The city of Zlín will ban the parking of motorhomes and caravans at the P+R park-and-ride lot in Příluky from May 4th. The ban is due to these vehicles occupying spaces intended for commuters and hospital patients for weeks or months. Municipal police will increase enforcement of the new regulation.

Spain tightened inspections for camper vans — meanwhile in Torrox, 50 motorhomes occupied a riverbed. Italians 3D-printed a motorhome from plastic in four days, Hyundai unveiled an 800-volt electric camper, and 34 million Americans are hitting the road. Demolitions in Turkey, bans in Scotland, and a woman who drove along the Baltic in an electric Smart — all in this issue.
