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.

Police in Vorarlberg offer free weighing of motorhomes and caravans

The State Traffic Department of Vorarlberg (Austria) will hold a free weighing event for motorhomes and caravans on May 16, 2026, at the Nüziders control station (A14). Overloading is common due to passengers, water, e-bikes, and luggage, reducing stability and increasing braking distance. Overloads detected during the event will not be penalized; the aim is prevention and information.

Traffic chaos expected for motorhomes: what campers need to know now

On June 27, 2026, from 10:00 to 12:00, the popular toll-free Fernpass route (B179) in Tyrol will be completely closed due to registered demonstrations. The Brenner motorway will also be fully closed on the same day. The closure coincides with the start of summer holidays in several German states, causing massive traffic jams. Motorhome drivers are advised to use toll motorways A14 or A12 as detours, while the Zirler Berg route (B177) is banned for trailers and heavy motorhomes due to a 16% gradient.

Unauthorized Caravan Convoy Causes Stir in Greinsfurth

On Monday, a group of people without fixed abode parked their caravans on a private meadow in Greinsfurth without the landowner's permission. Passersby alerted local officials, who contacted the owner and police. Although legal avenues did not allow for immediate eviction, visits from community representatives and police prompted the group to leave voluntarily. By late afternoon, the caravan convoy moved towards the Ybbstal valley.

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.
