Toyota Proace Max Tanuki — New Premium Camper in Poland

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.

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.

The Polish Sejm is considering a bill that would exempt motorhomes and cars with caravans from e-TOLL road charges if used for individual tourism.

Greece has cancelled its own camper van ban — a year and a half on, as if it got cold feet. In Tenerife, 500 motorhomes blocked a motorway demanding the same — pitches and dump stations. In Miami, 200 families are being evicted from a motorhome park by September, while Córdoba is only just applying for permission for a new overnight area. Plus 21 kg of cocaine in a motorhome in Lanzarote, a fake eight-wheeled Mercedes-AMG G63 and a Starbucks coffee trailer in Seoul — in this issue.

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.

A resident of Katowice leased a food trailer worth 73,000 PLN, stopped making installment payments, and concealed the vehicle. Police in Bytom arrested the 37-year-old on April 15 in Chorzów and recovered the trailer for the owner. She faces up to 5 years in prison.
