A new year brings new RV headlines and – and as always – we’re here to fill you in on the latest and greatest stories. From new towable units to awesome camper vans at this weekend’s Florida RV Supershow – we’ve got all the news you need to know in this edition of “Your RV News Fix.”
New Pop-Up Camper Can Be Towed by Almost Any Vehicle
If you’re looking to dip your toe into the RV lifestyle, a pop-up camper is a great place to start. Luckily the designs of these popular models are getting better each year. The Dutch startup Easy Caravanning just debuted the TakeOff – a pop-up camper that sets up under one minute. The ease of set up is ideal for first-time RVers and it comes in at just 1,650 pounds – making it easy to tow for most vehicles. The inside is simple but includes the kitchen basics (stove, electric fridge, and sink), a dining area, and an optional annex tent that lets you sleep a family. Pricing starts from $15,000-$21,000. As a startup company, Easy Caravanning will be launching first in the European markets – but if all goes well, they plan on international distribution. We’ll keep you posted.

Way over priced. I'll go for a motorhome before I spend that kind of cash for a mini-van. Or, I'll consider the VW bus for 2020. It is awesome. Maybe for one person that has that kind of money to throw away. Mercedes Benz has never impressed me with their vehicles, but they have impressed me with this mini-van.
