Lume Traveler unveils two caravan models: compact Adventure and spacious Expedition

German manufacturer Bürstner (Hymer Group) will completely stop caravan production from the 2027 season, focusing on motorhomes and camper vans under the 'Bürstner Reloaded' strategy. The decision follows a decline in caravan demand

On Saturday evening, a folding caravan on Bjirkewei in Twijzelerheide was completely destroyed by fire. The fire was reported around 11:10 PM, and the fire brigade from De Westereen responded with a tanker pumper. Upon arrival, the caravan was fully ablaze; firefighters quickly contained the blaze, preventing further spread. The caravan, loaded with car tires, was deliberately set on fire and is considered a total loss.

Patrick (57) and Petra (55) Gremmen from Beneden-Leeuwen bought a camper in 2019 and travel regularly across Europe and locally. They reject postponing travel until retirement, instead prioritizing trips with family and friends while still working. The couple plans to volunteer at a Croatian campsite in exchange for a pitch after retiring.

On Friday afternoon in Zonnemaire, a caravan battery exploded. The fire department secured the scene after a call at 15:35. The battery was disconnected, removed, and safely packaged for disposal. No injuries were reported.

A campervan overturned on the A2 motorway in the Netherlands near Maastricht. Traffic towards Belgium was blocked, with a queue of up to 15 km and 40 minutes delay. No injuries reported.

A fire in a row of conifers at Camping Alkenhaer on Tuesday afternoon caused damage to a static caravan. Camping staff acted quickly and extinguished the flames with fire extinguishers before the fire brigade arrived. Despite the rapid response, the caravan was heavily damaged. The cause of the fire is unknown.
