A Week on Iceland's Ring Road in a Camper

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.

An overview trailer for Outbound, an open-world game about living in an electric camper van, showcases exploration, resource gathering, and vehicle customization. Release is set for April 23, 2026.

REDARC released the RS3 inverter series in 1200, 2000, and 3000 W models with integrated ATS. The devices are 26% more compact and 28% lighter than competitors while maintaining full output at temperatures up to 40°C.

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.

Square Glade Games has announced Outbound, an open-world crafting adventure centered on van life. The game is set for release on April 23, 2026.
