Spanish manufacturer Panama has introduced the P09 camper van built on the Ford Custom platform. The 5-meter-long model features a rear bench that converts into a double bed and an additional sleeping area in the pop-up roof, accommodating up to four people.

The province of Castellón (Spain) sees increased demand for motorhomes for summer travel, driven by uncertainty over airfare and fuel costs. Sales peaked at 65 units in 2024 and reached 61 in 2025. Weekly camper rental in high season costs €1,000–1,300, with prices unchanged since 2024. Spain has 372,500 caravanning vehicles, including 100,000 motorhomes.

Exhibitors call for regulation similar to France's to address parking and overcrowding issues.
