She emphasized that solo camper trips in Norway are safe and not lonely due to interactions with other travelers.

In 1996, the Pössl Duo Van cost 45,885 marks — exactly the same as an empty panel van at a German dealership. The company bought Peugeot chassis in Slovenia at wholesale prices and outsourced series production of the living module to Adria, a Slovenian caravan manufacturer with lower costs. Today, this model is used by many brands: Carado, Adria, Weinsberg and Pössl offer six-metre campervans with a bathroom and fixed bed from €47,499 to €63,379. A production campervan is significantly cheaper than a custom conversion, but the base price often excludes essential options.

In the mid-1990s, Pössl implemented a strategy that reduced the cost of fully equipped camper vans below the price of an empty van at a dealer. The key was the 'Slovenia trick': purchasing base chassis (Fiat Ducato or Peugeot Boxer) in Slovenia at lower prices, cutting costs by half. This model made motorhomes with toilets and heating widely accessible, transforming the market.
