The Sanssouci campsite in Potsdam ranked 24th in Europe and first in Brandenburg in an ADAC ranking. The ranking is based on page views by German users from January to July 2026. Only sites with at least four reviews and an average rating of at least 7 out of 10 were considered. The campsite on the Templiner See offers 240 pitches and is the only 5-star site in Brandenburg. 39 of Europe's 100 most-requested campsites are in Germany, followed by Italy and Croatia.

The Mercedes-Benz EQT 200 Long with the Marco Polo module costs over 62,000 euros in a practical configuration, far above the advertised base price. The vehicle is technically identical to the Renault Kangoo E-Tech Electric, sharing the CMF-B EV platform, a 90 kW electric motor, and a 45 kWh battery. Real-world range is 180–240 km in summer and 150–180 km in winter, while the 80 kW maximum DC charging power is only achieved in a narrow state-of-charge window. The Brabus-developed Marco Polo module adds 200 kg and costs 3,500 euros but lacks a built-in auxiliary heater. Mercedes faces criticism for the high price, limited range, and software issues with MBUX.

In the night before Sunday, a caravan parked in a large parking lot on Poelchaustraße in Marzahn-Hellersdorf burned out completely. When firefighters arrived, the trailer was already fully engulfed in flames; the rapid extinguishing prevented the fire from spreading to nearby cars, which were only damaged by the heat. A propane cylinder stored in the caravan also caught fire, but was extinguished and continuously cooled to prevent bursting. The cause of the fire is not yet known; police have launched an investigation.

At the Düsseldorf trade fair, motorhomes range from a few thousand euros to over two million. Social media drives demand, especially among young families. A budget option is roof tents starting at 2,000 euros.
