Weekly Digest #20 · May 11–17

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.

Camper area instead of car parking. Balmetti owners oppose the project

In Borgofranco d'Ivrea, owners and operators of the Balmetti wine cellars oppose the 'Balmetti on the road' project, which plans to replace the only large parking lot with 32 motorhome spaces. The €150,000 project, approved in February and 80% funded by the Ministry of Tourism, includes fencing, an automated barrier, new restrooms, a laundry, a playground, and charging stations. Construction is scheduled from June to December 2026, eliminating parking for the entire active season. Owners fear losing customers and have requested an urgent meeting with the commissioner, considering legal action.

Trentino: Green Road dell'Acqua by bike and motorhome

The Green Road dell'Acqua route in Trentino, winner of the 2021 Italian Green Road Award, is a 140 km cycling loop. It runs from the Adige River to Lake Garda, along the Sarca River and through the Valle dei Laghi, ending with a climb on Monte Bondone. The route is mostly flat and suitable for all levels, partially overlapping with the Valle dell'Adige cycle path. For motorhome travel, options involve returning to the parking area after each stage, as no direct train or bus connection is available.

Polignano: Prosecutor investigates conversion of caravans into villas at two campsites

The Bari Prosecutor's Office has launched an investigation into the Capri Club and Ripagnola campsites in Polignano a Mare. It was found that on these sites, caravans were converted into permanent structures with private sea access, violating landscape restrictions. Previously, in September 2025, the court seized the Club Adriatico campsite (175,000 sq m), where 414 caravan pitches had been turned into buildings ineligible for amnesty. The judge also rejected a request to use these facilities during summer 2026.
