Meanwhile, according to the article, implementing individual tiny houses faces bureaucratic and financial hurdles: a barrier-free wooden bungalow can cost up to €695,000 excluding land.

Truma iNet X Panel 2: What the smart control panel can and cannot do

Truma has unveiled the third-generation iNet X (Pro) Panel 2 digital control system. The new panel features a capacitive touchscreen, improved performance, and flush-mount installation. However, the system's functionality remains largely limited to Truma's own devices and a few partners, with minimal integration of third-party components. The panel will be available for OEM and aftermarket installation from autumn 2026.
