Volkswagen brought the ID. Buzz back to the United States — complete with a mattress and curtains. A wildfire in Arizona burned down a dozen motorhomes, and Lake Tekir in Turkey flooded just as many. While Ibiza fines illegal campers up to €30,000, a retired couple from Mallorca has been living in 10 m² for five years and saving €1,400 a month. Plus: the largest campsite in the US at 607 pitches, a closed naturist beach on the North Sea, and Dolby Atmos in a trailer — all in this edition.

Weekly Digest #19 · May 4–10

After almost 70 years, Bürstner has stopped making caravans — and nobody was particularly surprised once sales had fallen by a third. Sweden registered 62% more motorhomes and is preparing to let them drive faster. Chet Hanks moved into a retirees' trailer park in Nashville — for the country music career, not the savings. Plus a Korean workation site for 100 motorhomes, an unmanned trailer hotel on Hokkaido, and a gyrocopter pilot who landed on a highway and clipped an oncoming motorhome — all in this issue.

Weekly Digest #18 · Apr 28 – May 3

Bürstner has halted caravan production as demand fell 13%. Poland is proposing to scrap road tolls for campervans, while Liguria counts the cost of 8,000 motorhomes descending on the region.

Mobile Museum Brings World-Class Learning to NSW

Tweed Regional Museum launched its 'Museum on Wheels' program: a vintage caravan packed with interactive exhibits and historical artifacts embarked on a five-week tour of remote schools in northern New South Wales. The first stop was Woodenbong Central School, a small community school with only 4–5 students. The project is funded by a $96,000 Create NSW Cultural Access Grant at no cost to ratepayers. Over the month, the caravan will visit more than 20 schools, including the Toomelah First Nations community on the NSW-Queensland border.

Greece has cancelled its own camper van ban — a year and a half on, as if it got cold feet. In Tenerife, 500 motorhomes blocked a motorway demanding the same — pitches and dump stations. In Miami, 200 families are being evicted from a motorhome park by September, while Córdoba is only just applying for permission for a new overnight area. Plus 21 kg of cocaine in a motorhome in Lanzarote, a fake eight-wheeled Mercedes-AMG G63 and a Starbucks coffee trailer in Seoul — in this issue.

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.

Buyer chose Chinese caravan over Australian due to price

An automotive journalist, committed to buying an Australian caravan, purchased a Chinese-made MDC Forte SR 19 for $64,990. A budget of $70,000 could not match the specification of local models. Chinese brands like MDC offer more complete equipment, including lithium batteries and inverters, while Australian counterparts in the same price range often have outdated gear.
