The Recreational Vehicle Show Opens Its Doors

From October 7 to 15, this veteran fair, founded in 1966, will welcome enthusiasts of freedom and a particular approach to leisure.

As the doors of the 57th Leisure Vehicle Show open, brands are unveiling the new features they will present to the public at the Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Center. Whether it’s in terms of driving comfort, onboard well-being, or admiring extraordinary vehicles or discovering new inventions, this edition promises exciting surprises. Some reveals are previewed … and others to be discovered on-site!

An Innovation-Rich Show

Whether it’s about road safety, or adopting more eco-responsible driving, manufacturers are focusing heavily on driver assistance systems directly inspired by automobiles. The trend toward compact and manageable vehicles is also confirmed, and to add a touch of style and comfort, the foldable roof is becoming more popular on vans and campervans.

Manufacturers are also betting on new technologies to make vehicles even more comfortable: better soundproofing, increased space for sleeping and dining areas. Additionally, they are becoming lighter, with some models showing weight savings ranging from 20 to 40 kilograms.
