What to do if your caravan starts to sway

Ferrari has confirmed that the Luce electric crossover will be the first model from the brand to offer a tow bar. This will allow the vehicle to tow a caravan. The decision follows customer requests for travel use.

Dutch company Ventje has unveiled the T7 camper van based on the new Volkswagen Transporter. The model features a modular interior with seats that fold completely into the floor, allowing the vehicle to serve as both a family van and a camper. Powertrain options include diesel, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric. Prices start at €95,000.

Dethleffs has launched the Summer Edition caravan series, available in seven layouts. The starting price is €28,990. Models include a 137-liter refrigerator, air conditioning preparation, and Tempo 100 certification for towing at up to 100 km/h in Germany. Maximum permissible mass ranges from 1,700 kg to 2,000 kg depending on the model.

On the N9 ring road near Alkmaar (Netherlands), a camper van rear-ended a passenger car. Initial reports indicate the camper driver failed to notice the vehicle ahead. Three people were injured: a child from the camper and two women from the car. All were taken to hospital; the severity of injuries is unknown. Traffic towards Den Helder was disrupted. Police are investigating the cause.

Starting July 1, 2026, the Netherlands introduces a toll for trucks (categories N2 and N3), but motorhomes registered as 'Kampeerwagen (SA)' are exempt regardless of weight. Owners should verify registration via RDW; foreign owners must apply for exemption in advance.

A caravan was completely destroyed by fire on Antwerpseweg in Rijsbergen. Firefighters responded on Thursday afternoon but could not prevent the loss. The cause of the fire is unknown.
