Caravan Tourism in Vietnam: Travel to Live, Not Just to Relax

An ad for an eight-wheeled Mercedes-AMG G63 with a camper for $285,000 raised doubts. Experts found signs of AI generation: display errors and unrealistic price. Mercedes-Benz and Brabus have not produced such a modification.

On April 25, the Hoa Thinh Charity Club organized a caravan of 30 vehicles and 80 participants to Hoa Thinh commune, recovering from the November 2025 floods. Participants visited historical sites and helped two low-income families.

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.

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.

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.

The indie game Outbound will let players experience camper van life. The project is scheduled for release on April 23, 2026, for PS5, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, and PC, featuring four-player co-op, van customization, and open-world survival without combat.
