Omnistor

Swedish brand Thule has introduced the Thule Capture system, which allows vertical panels to be added to the side awning of a motorhome or van. The polyester panels attach to the awning and vehicle using a tension bar with integrated fabric clamps and a strap-and-hook fastening, reducing noise and preventing movement. Side and front panels with zipped openings are available, compatible with Thule Omnistor 5200 and 6300 awnings. Sales are expected to begin in April 2027; pricing has not been announced.

Hobby, a well-known caravan manufacturer, has introduced a new semi-integrated motorhome model, the Optima Ontour Edition V65GE. The model is 678 cm long and 216 cm wide, featuring twin beds over the garage that can be converted into a double bed. Standard equipment includes air conditioning, a satellite antenna, a 22-inch TV, and a Thule Omnistor awning. The motorhome is built on a Citroën Jumper chassis with a 2.2L engine producing 120 or 140 hp and offers four travel seats and two permanent berths.
