Launch of Sfinx Camper & Conversion motorhome production project

Almería is putting up physical barriers to keep motorhomers off its former fairground — while Turkey simply evicts them from the beach. Lightship is quadrupling its electric-caravan factory in Colorado, even as 50% of Italian motorhome renters turn out to be under 35. Plus 800 kg of hashish in a motorhome at the Spanish border, Anker's 800 W charger running off the alternator, and Carstay as the mobile HQ of a Tokyo festival — all in this issue.

Motorhome owners have occupied the banks of the Olt River in the Sibiu area, installing toilets and setting up improvised camps. Anglers complain that public fishing areas have become inaccessible, while the fishing association states it lacks authority to regulate camping. During the fishing ban from April 9 to June 7, violators face fines up to 10,000 lei.

Spain introduced new road sign S-128 and banned camper vans from parking near beaches. Germany responded with a 3.82-metre electric camper van — fits anywhere, furniture not included. JAL now rents out motorhomes from Narita with miles earned per rental. Storm Ali blowing a traveller's caravan off an Irish cliff, and the Outbound demo for PS5 — all in this issue.

Dozens of tourists, including foreigners, celebrated Orthodox Easter at a campsite near the Muddy Volcanoes in Romania. Some participants marked the holiday in a caravan for the first time, maintaining traditions like egg dyeing. German tourists noted they chose Romania for camping based on recommendations about nature and hospitality.

ARI Motors released a camper van the size of a regular van — and it's now Germany's smallest production electric camper at €30,000. JAL decided its passengers hadn't traveled enough and offered a sequel: a motorhome pickup straight from Narita. The lawsuit against Stellantis over "cheat" diesel software, a yellow DHL van in the hands of a retiree, and 413 million campsite overnight stays across Europe — all in this issue.

Spanish publication CarWow has presented a camper concept based on the Dacia Jogger, named Adventure. The proposal includes a modular design with a kitchenette, folding work surface, 20-liter water tank, and a bed for two. The estimated conversion cost is 27,000–30,000 euros, positioning it as a more affordable alternative to models like the Volkswagen California.
