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.

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.

Illegal caravan sleeper gets six weeks in prison

A 49-year-old German man was sentenced to six weeks in prison for illegally sleeping in two private caravans in the Netherlands. He remained silent in court, only revealing his date of birth. In April 2025, he slept in caravans in Dokkum and Sumar, leaving evidence such as a used toilet and dirty socks. He also broke a window in a third caravan in Brantgum. He had previously been convicted in March for a similar offense, receiving a two-week sentence.
