The Russian company Volgatrade has presented a new motorhome built on a KAMAZ 43118 6×6 chassis. The vehicle is designed to accommodate up to six people and features a living module with a kitchen, bathroom, and a separate bedroom. It is intended for off-road travel while maintaining the autonomy of all onboard systems.

A review highlights five camper vans suitable for long-term habitation. The list includes van-based models, such as the Volkswagen Crafter and Mercedes Sprinter, featuring equipped kitchens, bathrooms, and sleeping areas.

The new Changan Peak View RV 2025 model year motorhome has entered the Russian market. The approximately six-meter-long vehicle is equipped with a 115 hp diesel engine, three bedrooms, a shower, diesel heating, and autonomous systems based on solar panels. The all-inclusive price is about 4.25 million rubles.

The company 'BN-Motors' from Bryansk is completing the assembly of the first prototype camper van on the chassis of the Chinese FAW T80 4x4 truck. The gross vehicle weight does not exceed 3.5 tons, allowing it to be driven with a standard car license (Category B), and the living module accommodates up to four people. The presentation is scheduled for May 2026, after which small-scale production will begin.

A custom-built camper van based on a rare 2006 GAZ Trofim pickup truck is listed for sale in Krasnogorsk for 3.5 million rubles.
