A101 retail chain launches caravan and camping gear sales

Turkish manufacturer Crawler has introduced the off-road caravan ALP 560 to the German market. The model, over 7 meters long, features a unique split tailgate that opens to form a terrace. The base price exceeds €70,000, which is significantly above the German average for caravans in this class.

Authorities in Darıca district, Kocaeli province, have mandated caravan owners to use a paid parking lot in Millet Bahçesi park. Owners argue the lot lacks essential infrastructure like electricity and waste disposal, and the fees create a financial burden. They demand either free parking or a properly equipped municipal site with reasonable rates.

The Turkish retail chain A101 is offering a travel trailer and Stanley thermoses from January 29 as part of a promotion. The four-person Erba Karavan 4.00 trailer with a solar panel and kitchen is priced at 329,000 TL. Stanley thermoses with capacities of 1.9 and 2.3 liters are sold for 2,499 TL and 2,799 TL respectively.

The Turkish retail chain A101 announced a sales campaign starting January 29, 2026, for the Erba Çekme Karavan 4.00 travel trailer, produced exclusively for the retailer. The sub-750 kg model has a type-01 approval for international use, features a 205-watt solar panel, a kitchen, a shower, and a capacity for 4 people. The price is set at 329,000 Turkish Lira, with an installment plan of 6 payments available.
