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.
Stellantis is recalling Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer, Citroën Jumper and Opel Movano due to a fuel line defect. Fuel leakage may occur, posing a fire risk. According to German media, no injuries or damage have been reported; the recall is preventive.

Rocket Camper has introduced the One L, filling the gap between the One M and One XL in the One lineup. The 6-meter camper van, based on the Peugeot Boxer, features a longitudinal double bed (193×185 cm, optionally up to 220 cm) and a modular living unit without a fixed bathroom. The shower is external via a hatch. Price is yet to be announced, estimated from €75,000.
The Fiat Ducato and its siblings (Peugeot Boxer, Citroën Jumper, Opel Movano) form the base of 90% of campers on European campsites, but their cabs were originally designed as workspaces for builders and couriers. Accessory manufacturers such as Reimo, AGLO, and Caratec offer solutions to address shortcomings: cup holders, phone mounts, ergonomic cushions, insulated floor mats, and wireless chargers. Installing a narrow compressor fridge between the front seats allows storing drinks and snacks without leaving the cab.

Prices start at €56,560; a 20th-anniversary edition is available for €61,550.
