Isabella Camp-Let unveiled the 2027 Camp-Let Alba hybrid tent trailer at the Dusseldorf Caravan Salon. Unlike previous models focused on maximum occupancy, the Alba is designed for two people, prioritizing storage and style. The trailer measures 3.23 meters in length, 1.6 meters in width, and 0.95 meters in height when closed, and expands to 18 square meters of tent space, including a bedroom, storage room, and kitchen. It is expected to be available from January 2027, with a starting price of €13,500.

In Denmark, a couple has sold one of the few campsites located directly on the beach. The deal includes 700 meters of private beach. The exact amount was not disclosed, but the source reports it was in the millions.

Motorhome holidays are growing in popularity in Northern Europe. From Copenhagen, Oslo is about a seven-hour drive or a ferry ride away. Most rental motorhomes weigh under 3,500 kg and can be driven with a standard B-class licence. Overnight parking is allowed at designated sites, with rules varying by country. Rentals are cheaper in late August and September.

In Ribe, Denmark, a tourist in a motorhome used a free parking area with facilities for seven weeks, circumventing the 48-hour rule by periodically moving the vehicle to adjacent spots. The municipality admits difficulty in controlling such violations, and the private company responsible for fines has not received instructions to check parking duration. In France, similar actions are difficult due to daily police checks and automatic barriers on some parking lots.
