Two years on the road with a cat named Zhuzu — and not a single day of wanting to go back. We break down life in a camper van: where to find water, how heating works, what to do about electricity, and where to look for overnight spots. 7 countries, hundreds of places, and an honest account — from the mountain roads of Turkey to the coastline of Montenegro.

New motorhome sales in Sweden rose 46% from 2024 to 2025, reaching 120,000 registered units – the highest per capita in Europe. Yet writer Hanna Hellquist calls the idea a 'nightmare'.
According to the Swedish Association of the Motorhome and Caravan Industry (HRF), 3,527 motorhomes were registered in Sweden in the first six months of 2026, a 54.7% increase compared to 2,280 in the same period of 2025. In June 2026, 846 motorhomes were registered, up from 572 in June 2025. However, part of the increase is due to early registrations to meet Euro 6 standards, with some vehicles not yet delivered to customers. The caravan market is stabilising: 276 caravans were registered in June (+55% year-on-year), but the half-year total of 832 is 2.3% lower than in 2025.
A caravan abandoned eight years ago on a grass plot in Gökhöjden, Vålberg, has finally been removed. The owner had removed a wheel and left it, and it was later filled with empty bottles and syringes. Bureaucratic disputes over responsibility between the local community association and the municipality delayed its removal. The association must cover the cost.
Swedish singer Charlotte Perrelli and her husband Anders Jensen showed their Kabe Imperial 910 motorhome, worth about 2 million Swedish kronor, to the magazine Hänt. They use it during her summer tour so the family can be together. The motorhome has a kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, and can sleep four people.
Swedish manufacturer Kabe, in cooperation with Mercedes-Benz, offers an all-wheel-drive option for its Imperial and Crown integrated models built on the new Sprinter chassis. This is the first integrated motorhome with 4x4 among manufacturers for the 2027 season. The option is available in the TRAQ i830 configuration with either a double bed or longitudinal single beds.

A caravan overturned on the E6 near Väröbacka on Friday afternoon, blocking one lane. No injuries reported; traffic affected until 15:45.
At the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf, Mercedes presented an all-wheel-drive Sprinter as a base for fully integrated motorhomes. The prototype, developed with Sweden's Kabe, is called Kabe Imperial Ri830 Traq 4x4 and features a Torque-on-Demand system that adapts power to each wheel. It has two berths, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a garage for skis or bikes. An off-road package will be offered later. The Imperial series is Kabe's most luxurious, with a starting price of at least 2.7 million kronor.
Kabe, in collaboration with Mercedes-Benz, has introduced a fully integrated motorhome with all-wheel drive. The Crown and Imperial TRAQ 830 LGB and LQB models come standard with rear-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive available as an option for 96,000 kroner. The approved gross weight is 5,500 kg, and the train weight is 7,000 kg. Production is scheduled to begin in spring 2027, with the public debut at the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf.
