Weekly Digest #16 · 13–19 April

Almería is putting up physical barriers to keep motorhomers off its former fairground — while Turkey simply evicts them from the beach. Lightship is quadrupling its electric-caravan factory in Colorado, even as 50% of Italian motorhome renters turn out to be under 35. Plus 800 kg of hashish in a motorhome at the Spanish border, Anker's 800 W charger running off the alternator, and Carstay as the mobile HQ of a Tokyo festival — all in this issue.

JAL decided its passengers hadn't traveled enough and offered a sequel: a motorhome pickup straight from Narita.

WA Caravan Park Residents Evicted After Change of Ownership

Two dozen long-term residents of the Acclaim Rose Gardens caravan park in Albany were given notice to vacate after the property was sold in early 2025. The new owner, RAC Tourism Assets, purchased the crown land from the state government with a vacant possession condition, offering tenants ex gratia payments of up to AUD 25,000. Most tenants were on periodic (month-to-month) leases, which under WA's Residential Parks (Long-stay Tenants) Act 2006 did not protect them from eviction upon the change of ownership.
