Vanlife is one of the current social trends, especially among mountain bikers. The car as a second home, there are no limits to the imagination when it comes to conversion. Now motorhome manufacturer Hymer is launching a concept vehicle to show what vanlife might look like in five years' time. An interesting vehicle, but one thing is not quite clear: where will the mountain bikes be stowed?

The real van adventure is not to be found on a campsite. A visit to a campsite may be advisable if the need for a hot shower takes over, or if the area you are traveling through is so unsafe that you can only fall asleep there with the prospect of still having all your bikes on the bus in the morning. But it's really fun to spend the night somewhere in the middle of nowhere. But where are the good places from which you won't be shooed away in the middle of the night? Where is free camping legal? Apps and social media can help.

For those for whom a tiny house or a converted minivan is no longer good enough: the Australians from SLRV have a camper in their range that literally puts everything in the shade. A four-axle outdoor truck with up to ten berths and all the gadgets you can imagine.
