Motorhome owners cause chaos on Genoa's promenade: locals complain about inaction

Residents of Genoa report massive motorhome parking on the Corso Italia promenade. According to them, drivers, including participants of the Alpine troops rally, occupy the pedestrian zone, leaving only a narrow passage for pedestrians.

One local resident said that when trying to reprimand a driver, it turned out that he was not an Alpine soldier but a tourist who followed the example of others. Residents criticized the municipality's inaction, which, in their opinion, does not take measures to solve the problem.

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.

Drivers could see motorhome and campervan rule in England scrapped

Scarborough Town Council has proposed reconsidering an overnight parking ban for motorhomes and campervans on the town's seafront. The council states the trial ban, implemented by North Yorkshire Council due to complaints, has displaced vehicles into residential areas, causing new issues with noise, waste, and parking. It argues for a controlled parking scheme on Marine Drive to address the problem.

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.
