Manufacturer RAVATHERM has introduced XPS (extruded polystyrene foam) as a core material for sandwich construction in walls, floors and roofs of caravans and motorhomes. The material features low water absorption, light weight and thermal insulation. XPS is up to 100 % recyclable. It is currently used by manufacturers including Morelo, Niesmann+Bischoff, Concorde, Pilot and Carthago.
Chris Haslam, travel editor of The Sunday Times, who has traveled across the UK, Australia, Canada and the US in a motorhome, has abandoned it for a simpler setup. He now uses a Dacia Bigster and a tent, arguing that large RVs limit routes and require more planning. Haslam drove about 6,931 km with the new car and concluded that agility and lower cost (around €29,250 vs. €191,880 for a Niesmann+Bischoff Arto 78 motorhome) make it a better option.
For the summer season, manufacturers have introduced premium motorhomes with improved mechanics and design. Models such as the Niesmann+Bischoff iSmove (from €123,000), Hymer B-ML I BlackLine (from €181,815), Morelo Palace (from €285,900), and Adria Supersonic (from €161,149) feature kitchens, king-size bedrooms, smart home systems, and lithium batteries.
Bürstner has launched the Signature series, a new model line that aims to redefine the design of seven-meter motorhomes. The SFT 7.5 model is based on a Fiat Ducato chassis with an AL-KO low-frame platform and features a 2.2-liter 140 hp turbodiesel engine with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Interior solutions borrow from more expensive models by Niesmann+Bischoff, part of the same Erwin Hymer Group.

Scottish First Minister John Swinney said he could not understand why the SNP needed a motorhome. The statement came during a press conference on May 25, 2026, after former SNP CEO Peter Murrell pleaded guilty to embezzling over £400,000 in party funds. Among the illicitly purchased items was a luxury Niesmann+Bischoff motorhome bought for £124,550 in late 2020. The motorhome has been in a police compound since April 2023. Swinney contrasted this with hiring a bus for the election campaign, which he called a sensible use of resources.
