Motorhome owner travels Uruguay for four years and plans trip to Argentina

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.

Five years ago, an Argentine couple left their traditional lifestyle to travel in a motorhome. They have visited Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay, preferring small towns off the beaten path. They now travel in a camper van, having adapted to life in a compact space.

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.

A car conversion project into a small caravan cost less than 15,000 Brazilian reais. The build utilized wood, metal sheets, and wheels, with manual assembly demonstrating the feasibility of creating a functional travel trailer on a limited budget.

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.

German company Ari Motors has unveiled the ultra-compact electric camper Ari 458 Pro. It offers a range of up to 230 km, a starting price from €23,000–24,000 (excluding VAT), and is delivered without interior furniture for custom fitting.
