German manufacturer Corigon has announced the new CV 65 S camper van model for 2026.

German manufacturer Knaus has introduced a special edition of the Live Wave 650 MEG Black Edition motorhome with a fixed high specification at a reduced price. The 6999 mm long model offers four sleeping berths, a Fiat Ducato 140 HP engine, and winter-ready features. The price is set at €79,990, which is about 15% lower than the cost of a similarly equipped model with optional extras.

A resident of a 38-square-meter tiny house describes the negative impact of this lifestyle on social connections. Key issues include the inability to host guests, challenges in romantic relationships due to lack of privacy, and feelings of social isolation. She states that savings on utilities are offset by missed family events and a loss of community belonging.

Knaus has launched the new Boxtime camper van series for the 2026 model year. Key features include lightweight furniture made from foamed plastic and an optional pop-up roof that increases sleeping capacity to five. Prices start at €66,990.
