In Brief

On May 21, 2026, French channels RMC Story and M6 will broadcast two programs about campervans and motorhomes: the fourth episode of "La folie du camping-car" and the documentary "Van ou Camping-Car, ils ont fait leurs choix!"

On Thursday, May 21, 2026, French TV viewers will see two programs about life on wheels.

RMC Story: fourth episode of "La folie du camping-car"

At 9:10 PM on RMC Story, the fourth episode of the documentary series "La folie du camping-car : des vacances pas comme les autres" will air. The program explores the growing interest of the French in autonomous travel and showcases different approaches to setting up a home on wheels. Produced by Patrick Spica Productions.

M6: documentary "Van ou Camping-Car, ils ont fait leurs choix!"

At 1:40 PM on M6, as part of the "Un Jour Un Doc" segment, a film dedicated to the choice between compact campers and full-size motorhomes will air. It examines vanlife trends in France, including the rise of converted vans and XXL motorhomes, as well as market developments involving manufacturers and new brands. The key question is which type of vehicle the French prefer: a compact van or a fully equipped motorhome. Also produced by Patrick Spica Productions.

Weekly Digest #20 · May 11–17

Volkswagen brought the ID. Buzz back to the United States — complete with a mattress and curtains. A wildfire in Arizona burned down a dozen motorhomes, and Lake Tekir in Turkey flooded just as many. While Ibiza fines illegal campers up to €30,000, a retired couple from Mallorca has been living in 10 m² for five years and saving €1,400 a month. Plus: the largest campsite in the US at 607 pitches, a closed naturist beach on the North Sea, and Dolby Atmos in a trailer — all in this edition.
