La Strada will present the new Avanti R camper based on the Fiat Ducato at the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf. The 6.36-meter model with H3 high roof features a rear lounge and an electric drop-down bed measuring 202 x 192 cm. Standard equipment includes automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist, and other safety systems. The entire Avanti line has been updated with compressor refrigerators, a revised kitchen, and new design.

The author tested a three-day motorhome route through Tyrol (Austria), including canyoning in Ötztal, visiting Innsbruck and a brewery in Zillertal. The route runs through the Ötztal, Sellrain and Zillertal valleys, with overnight stays at Camping Kuprian and Camping Natterer See. Specific motorhome models are mentioned: La Strada Regent EB (around €100,000) and a 1958 VW T1.

Auto-Medienportal tested the PCA 3400 mobile air conditioner (€299) in a La Strada Avanti L camper van based on Fiat Ducato. The 1000 W (3400 BTU) unit can cool the interior to 18 °C at 25 °C outside, but requires 230 V and faces challenges with hot air exhaust. Noise measured 54 dB(A) versus claimed 42–45 dB(A). For larger motorhomes, cooling capacity is insufficient; for camper vans up to 12 m², it works with shore power.

Auto Zeitung magazine presented a ranking of eight all-wheel drive campervans based on van chassis. The list includes models on Mercedes Sprinter, Ford Transit, and VW Crafter bases from manufacturers such as Adria, Pössl, Hymer, Karmann, La Strada, Terracamper, Weinsberg, and Yucon, with lengths from six to seven meters and base prices starting from around €66,000.

The For Caravan trade fair in Prague from March 20 to 22 showcases new products for motorhomes and caravans. Exhibits include a converted 2011 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 4x4 expedition vehicle, the La Strada Avanti EBL family motorhome based on the longest Fiat Ducato, and the modular Basecab living module installed on a Ford Ranger PHEV pickup in half an hour. The all-wheel-drive Westfalia James Cook 4x4 on a Mercedes Sprinter chassis is also on display.

La Strada has introduced the Regent E motorhome based on the Mercedes Sprinter, measuring about six meters in length and featuring two longitudinal beds. The design allows the sleeping area to be transformed into a dining area using foldable backrests and a central table. The base model starts at 106,570 euros, while the all-wheel-drive version with off-road tires increases the price by over 13,000 euros and fuel consumption to 13 liters per 100 km.
