Every year, one RV stands above the rest in terms of its outrageous, no-expense-spared build spec and price tag. Volkner takes the prize again in 2022 with a 39-foot motorhome that has a rooftop deck up high and a stowed-away LaFerrari down low.

The latest off-road RV build from Action Mobil is one of the company's fiercest yet. But after six-wheeling proficiently over dirt, rock, mud and snow, it softens into an off-grid homestead so hospitable it pings you when the laundry is done.

VW and Hobby may be German brands, but it's Scandinavia that provides inspiration for the new Hobby Maxia Van. The camper van design channels the warm, cozy feeling of Scandinavian "hygge" into an interior that feels like a modern tiny home.

Reimo's new modular Weekender 2 package turns the Caddy Maxi into a capable two-story micro-home with pop-up roof, four sleeping berths, an indoor/outdoor kitchen, indoor dining and even a hidden toilet ... all for under €50K.

Niesmann + Bischoff recently introduced its 2023 Flair motorhome, incorporating some transformational trickery and homey finishing into the new flagship. The gorgeous integrated motorhome will likely leave travelers reluctant to return home.

Forma Campers has rolled out what we can only call an origami-drop, a uniquely creased small trailer set up like a teardrop. Its spacious interior and large gullwing door create a base camp that's ideal for dining, working remotely and enjoying a view.

The Scoter amphibious caravan isn't as large or pretty as the Caracat cat-camper, but it boasts a slick feature. The tri-camper's built-in wheels fold into the hulls, ensuring smooth flotation while eliminating the need for a separate trailer.

We expected to see a few VW Multivan campers at the 2022 Caravan Salon but found only one – a particularly versatile package. The new Reimo T7 Freevan uses a removable kitchen and prototype pop-top to adapt between work, play and everything between.

A new style of Mercedes V-Class camper, the Urban X debuts as a light, flexible member of VanTourer's lineup. It carries bikes, skis and other gear to serve as a base camp for digital nomads looking to maximize time on the trail, slopes or crag.

NEXSD looks to improve the quality of motorhomes with an aluminum construction lighter than a panel van but as spacious as a motorhome. Its "One" prototype is a moto-hauling B+ 4-sleeper ready to spend days or weeks living comfortably off-grid.

One of the most versatile MPVs on the planet, the Pössl Vanster can quickly transform from 8-passenger van, to 4-person camper, to empty cargo van, to everything in between. Now it can do all that and commute to camp with zero emissions.

It'll be a few years before VW launches an ID. California, but now that the ID. Buzz is in production, the first Buzz camper products are arriving. Ququq fills the e-van with a camper kit, and Hobby hitches an ultralight Beachy trailer behind it.
