Motorhome sales in Germany are falling for a third year, and rental firm Vanever has gone bankrupt. Also: a new disposal point on Tenerife.
Two years on the road with a cat named Zhuzu — and not a single day of wanting to go back. We break down life in a camper van: where to find water, how heating works, what to do about electricity, and where to look for overnight spots. 7 countries, hundreds of places, and an honest account — from the mountain roads of Turkey to the coastline of Montenegro.
Comprehensive review of all RV and camper toilet types: cassette, portable, gravity, vacuum, macerating, dry flush, sealing, incinerating, composting and separating. Comparison of models, consumables, installation and annual costs.
The Japanese brand yadocari, in collaboration with Washio Inc., has launched the KURUMOCHI insulated blanket designed for sleeping in vehicles. The product utilizes a patented 1970s-era pile fabric technology, features a tubular structure to block cold air, and is manufactured entirely in Hyogo Prefecture. It is currently available through a crowdfunding campaign ahead of general retail.
A kit of three insulating mosquito nets for the front door and windows of Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer, and Citroën Jumper camper vans from 2006 to 2025 has been introduced. The nets attach via magnets and Velcro, require no tools for installation, and come with a storage bag. The pack also includes a sunshade compatible with caravans based on the same vehicle models.
A feature on Erika's Travels highlights the increasing preference for motorhome exploration in Scotland. Travelers are opting for flexible road trips over fixed hotel stays, with routes like the North Coast 500 generating tens of millions annually for local economies.

According to the Pincamp portal, the Harz-Camp Bremer Teich campsite has been named the most sought-after campsite in Saxony-Anhalt for 2026. Two other campsites from the Harz district also made it into the top ten.
Outwell will present its 2027 camping season innovations at the CARAVAN SALON in Düsseldorf, including new Prestige and Deluxe chair series with adjustable seating comfort, flexible awning solutions, and its debut in the roof tent category with the Bamfield 140 and Coombs 135-X models. The showcase will take place in Hall 3 at booth C70.
Vöhringer, Motive Development and CityFreighter will present the CityFreighter Evolve prototype at the Caravan Salon 2026 in Düsseldorf. The 6.95-metre motorhome is built on a dedicated electric platform and features a 128 kWh battery, achieving over 400 km of real-world range while keeping weight below 3.5 tonnes thanks to lightweight AIRPLY panels. It offers four berths, a kitchen, a toilet and a heat pump. DC fast charging from 10 to 80% takes about 20 minutes at up to 200 kW. Under new EU rules, from 26 November 2029 such motorhomes up to 4.25 tonnes may be driven with a category B licence, subject to additional training.
Journalist Martin Vaculík tested the Volkswagen Grand California 600 based on the Crafter and noted that operating its functions requires technical knowledge. He praised the 2024 update (gearshift under the steering wheel, electronic parking brake) but criticized the inconvenient access to gas cylinders and the inaccurate gas level indicator. He also mentioned that engine issues concern models built before 2021, and for full comfort recommends installing a LiFePO auxiliary battery and an inverter.
At the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf, MAN Truck & Bus is showcasing TGE vehicles with new equipment options designed for building various types of campers. The platform allows adapting the vehicle to different configurations of living modules.
Camping with a baby is possible from about three months, but success depends on the choice of accommodation and safety measures. Experts recommend using a travel cot instead of an air mattress and avoiding direct sun, as babies' skin is extremely sensitive. For infants under one year, sunscreen is not recommended; clothing and shade are preferred.
