German company offers mechanical anti-theft protection for campervans
Original source: Autobahn

German company Secure Camper has developed mechanical security systems for campervans, targeting vulnerabilities in plastic windows and thin metal of Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer, and Citroën Jumper cabs. Instead of electronic alarms that can be hacked, they offer stainless steel window profiles and anti-theft plates for doors, blocking the 'prick' method. A wiper saver prevents rubber deformation during storage.

Buying a Motorhome: What to Look for Beyond the Photos

Key risks when buying a motorhome include exceeding the permissible weight (up to 3,500 kg for standard driving license B), hidden water damage, and tax changes. Since January 1, 2026, the Netherlands has abolished the reduced quarterly rate for vehicle tax, replacing it with a more expensive half-rate. It is recommended to conduct an independent moisture check, weigh the vehicle, and inspect the living area separately, as the regular MOT (APK) does not cover gas, electrical, or water systems.

Carado CV540 costs €48,390 in France and €66,590 in the Netherlands

The French price list for Carado motorhomes shows a significant price gap compared to the Netherlands. The compact CV540, a 5.41-meter camper van based on the Peugeot Boxer, starts at €48,390, while the longer CV600 (5.99 m) starts at €49,390. In the Netherlands, the same models start at €66,590 and €67,890 respectively, a difference of €18,200 and €18,500. The main reason is the Dutch bpm tax (37.7% of the net catalog price plus €273 for diesel), along with differences in VAT, equipment, and transport costs. Buying in France does not exempt buyers from bpm and VAT when registering in the Netherlands.
