"The most flexible vehicle in the world" and the "future of camping" – that's how German camper shop Vanexxt envisions its newest creation, the Ford Tourneo Custom V710. It might seem like it's overreaching, but the company has a clear plan on how to surpass some of Europe's other most modular camper vans. Instead of merely relying on its own equipment, Vanexxt has made its compact Ford pop-up camper compatible with a wide range of modules from companies around Germany. And it doesn't stop at camper modules, adding…

Developments around the 2005 disappearance of high school teen Natalee Holloway, which led to a media frenzy captivating families across the globe, remained stagnant for more than a decade. Despite the family officially declaring the Alabama teen dead in 2012, her disappearance fueled the cultural canon with true-crime TV programming, a Lifetime movie, and more books on Amazon than you care to count.  But it wasn’t until Joran van der Sloot, the primary suspect in her death, was extradited from Peru on extortion…

Van Halen's new memoir, Brothers, due Oct. 22, will tell the story behind one of the closest family partnerships in rock Eddie and Alex Van Halen had the closest musical relationship imaginable, playing together for nearly six decades — even in Van Halen’s most fallow periods, when the band was between singers, the brothers would rehearse at Eddie’s 5150 Studios to rehearse just about every day. Alex, Van Halen’s drummer, has been almost entirely silent since Eddie’s death from cancer in October…

An all-electric Porsche luxury van? This could be a possibility. Porsche’s design boss, Peter Varga, said a van is now “very interesting” when combined with luxury. Several years ago, nobody expected Lamborghini to launch a luxury SUV, and now the Urus is the brand’s top-selling model. Porsche’s chief exterior designer believes the same could be done with a luxury electric van. After launching the new Porsche Macan EV, Top Gear Netherlands asked Varga if a van, such as the Porsche Vision…

Indonesia: the world’s largest island nation, 17,000 pieces of land projecting from the waves where Indian and Pacific oceans meet, ranging in scale from the giants of Sumatra, Java and Borneo, to the tiny volcanic outcrops of the Banda Sea. With 280 million people, this is the fourth most populous nation on Earth, after India, China and the US, and the largest Muslim-majority country. It’s also one of the most overlooked, by western eyes at least. What proportion of anglophones could even place Jakarta on a map? Relating…

Redtail Overland made a name for itself in 2020 with a rooftop tent (RTT) quite unlike any other. The expandable hard-walled wedge featured fully insulated carbon fiber construction and a US$20,000+ price tag. The company eventually brought that heavy, hard-shelled, high-priced RTT to market but ultimately realized the price was just too high for the RTT market. It's now hoping the hard-sided pop-top will work better as part of a cutting-edge half-million-dollar Mercedes explorer yacht for road and trail. The new Skyloft…
