Diesel & Petrol Prices in Poland

RMF FM announces two promotional tours of its yellow camper: a spring tour starting April 30 in Białystok, and a fall tour beginning September 2 with a listener-determined route

After almost 70 years, Bürstner has stopped making caravans — and nobody was particularly surprised once sales had fallen by a third. Sweden registered 62% more motorhomes and is preparing to let them drive faster. Chet Hanks moved into a retirees' trailer park in Nashville — for the country music career, not the savings. Plus a Korean workation site for 100 motorhomes, an unmanned trailer hotel on Hokkaido, and a gyrocopter pilot who landed on a highway and clipped an oncoming motorhome — all in this issue.

Toyota has launched the Proace Max Tanuki, the largest camper van in its range, built on the Proace Max platform. It is offered in two lengths (599 and 636 cm) and with two 2.2 D4-D engines: 140 hp with manual transmission and 180 hp with 8-speed automatic. Prices start from PLN 459,900 (approx. €107,000). Standard equipment includes Toyota T-MATE safety systems, automatic climate control, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system. The living area features a shower, toilet, 90-liter fridge, two-burner gas stove, Truma Combi 4E gas heater, and a 135 Ah LiFePO4 battery. Optional extras include a pop-up roof with an extra bed, solar panel, awning, and more.

Toyota has introduced the PROACE MAX Tanuki camper, built on the Stellantis platform in collaboration with Affinity RV. It is available in two lengths — 599 and 636 cm — and is powered by a 2.2 D-4D diesel engine with 140 or 180 hp. Prices start at PLN 459,900.

Bürstner has halted caravan production as demand fell 13%. Poland is proposing to scrap road tolls for campervans, while Liguria counts the cost of 8,000 motorhomes descending on the region. Tom Hanks' son has swapped Hollywood for a trailer in pursuit of a music career, and a French couple has driven 100,000 km from the North Cape to Senegal — and that's not even the whole story. All this in this issue.

A Polish tax advisor clarified the conditions for deducting 100% VAT on leasing a camper (up to 3.5 t, value approx. PLN 195,000 gross) used exclusively for paid rental. Full VAT deduction is possible without submitting VAT-26 form or maintaining detailed mileage records if the vehicle is used solely for rental. From 2026, leasing costs will be subject to a new limit of PLN 100,000, and CO2 emission levels will also be taken into account.
