German manufacturer Frankia from Oberhaid is radically restructuring its range: classic F-Line, Titan and Platin series are being discontinued, replaced by new models on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis. The new Noctra Liner (from €157,900) and Neo Liner (from €124,900) are built on Sprinter, while the Together Edition anniversary model (from €119,900 for alcove, from €143,900 for integrated) and Final Edition F-Line/Titan (from €139,990) remain on Fiat Ducato. From 2027, all Frankia motorhomes will be front-wheel drive only, with rear-wheel drive dropped from the program.

Campingparadies Kellenhusen on the Baltic Sea has created 57 new paved motorhome pitches. The pitches are divided into four categories for vehicle lengths from 5 to 10 metres, all with electricity and water connections. A new disposal station, four washing stations and a dog shower complete the offer. In the 2026 season, the campsite recorded 35% more arrivals than in the same period in 2025. The season is to be extended in future: a new check-in machine will allow bookings for self-caterers over the New Year period, initially without a water connection outside the regular season. Winter operation may become possible depending on weather conditions. A new reception building with storage areas and an operator flat is planned for the future. The campsite has existed since 27 March 1999 and currently offers around 280 pitches for permanent campers, caravans, tents and motorhomes. A generational change is due next year.
