Two years on the road with a cat named Zhuzu — and not a single day of wanting to go back.

Demand for roof tents for vehicles is increasing. A report by the regional magazine WDR Lokalzeit Bergisches Land, aired on September 1, 2026, shows that vacations on the car roof are becoming more popular. The segment presents various models and their advantages.
According to ADAC, glamping — a combination of camping and comfort — is becoming one of the strongest travel trends in Europe. Instead of tents and sleeping bags, travelers choose ready-made accommodations: from large tents with beds to mobile homes and treehouses. The average price of classic camping for a family of three in Germany is 41 euros per night, while glamping can be significantly more expensive.
Camping is becoming more individual: on roads to the Baltic Sea and the Mecklenburg Lake District, not only classic motorhomes but also converted vans, roof tents, and trailers that hardly look like holiday accommodation are increasingly common. Examples include Dana and Moritz, who bought a 2006 Opel Vivaro for 6,000 euros and invested another 4,000–5,000 euros in its conversion, and Danny from near Hamburg, who turned an old truck cab on a trailer into a mobile dwelling for 50–100 euros. Manufacturers such as Campnetic offer magnetic accessories for flexible setup without drilling.
