Developed for caravans and tiny houses: works without plumbing

French company Daan Tech has introduced the BOB Mini compact dishwasher designed for caravans, tiny houses, boats, and small kitchens. The device, measuring 34 cm wide and weighing about 10 kg, features a built-in 3.9-liter tank, allowing it to operate without a direct water connection. It uses 2.9 liters of water per wash, which the manufacturer claims is up to 80% less than hand washing. The unit has a power rating of 1000 W, consumes about 0.43 kWh per standard cycle, and 0.5 W in standby. A quick program takes about 20 minutes, and noise levels are around 43 dB.

A €75,000 camper triggers different security requirements

In 2025, the total number of registered vehicle thefts in France fell by 9%, but vehicle tracking company Coyote Secure reports a 30% year-on-year increase in thefts of vans and campers, attributing this to their high value, often between €60,000 and €120,000. In the Netherlands, insurer NKC imposes stricter security requirements for campers valued at €75,000 and above, requiring an approved alarm system with window etching or a gearbox/steering lock in addition to an immobilizer. It is crucial that the required system is installed and activated; otherwise, theft coverage may be denied.

Schoolyard in Hendaye converted into motorhome parking

In Hendaye, on the French Basque coast, the schoolyard of the Saint-Vincent school has been used as a paid motorhome parking area since mid-July. Six spaces at 12 euros per 24 hours are almost always occupied. The project, developed by Camping-Car Park, returns 50% of revenue to the school, estimated at 4,000–5,000 euros in 2026. Some local residents have expressed concerns about the visual impact.
