Comprehensive review of all RV and camper toilet types: cassette, portable, gravity, vacuum, macerating, dry flush, sealing, incinerating, composting and separating. Comparison of models, consumables, installation and annual costs.
Air fryers are increasingly popular, but using one in a motorhome presents significant challenges. The main issue is high power consumption: the appliance draws 800–2200 W (average 1800 W), creating a load of about 8 A. Many campsites, especially older ones, only provide 6–10 A, and the motorhome's internal wiring is often limited to 6 or 10 A, preventing simultaneous use of other devices. Additionally, air fryers are not certified for outdoor use, and operating them outside may void insurance coverage.
The publication is a guide to choosing electric and gas heaters for use in motorhomes, camper vans, and caravans. Key criteria include a power of around 2000 watts, a thermostat, an oscillation function for even heating, and overheat and tip-over protection. It is noted that electric models require access to mains power, while compact gas heaters with cartridges are suggested for locations without electricity.
An expert from a motorhome sales center notes increased popularity of compact campers and retrofitted solar panels. A new trend is toilets that seal waste, while electric motorhomes are currently absent from the market due to a lack of suitable base vehicles from manufacturers.

On the A13/N13 highway in Mesocco (Graubünden), an 87-year-old woman crossed into oncoming traffic and collided with two vehicles, including a camper van. The driver was hospitalized with moderate injuries.
