In China, car camping cut hotel revenue by 8.2%. Also: the Nissan Interstar-e Relax electric camper at €89,900 and an overnight ban in Llandudno.
Two years on the road with a cat named Zhuzu — and not a single day of wanting to go back. We break down life in a camper van: where to find water, how heating works, what to do about electricity, and where to look for overnight spots. 7 countries, hundreds of places, and an honest account — from the mountain roads of Turkey to the coastline of Montenegro.
Comprehensive review of all RV and camper toilet types: cassette, portable, gravity, vacuum, macerating, dry flush, sealing, incinerating, composting and separating. Comparison of models, consumables, installation and annual costs.
A French couple, Carinne and Gregory, who have been traveling in a motorhome for six years, have faced new parking restrictions in Brittany. They call the measures dishonest and discriminatory. Some municipalities, including Quiberon and Labamme-Armor, have limited parking time or introduced paid spaces. The Comité de liaison du camping-car association is challenging the legality of such orders, stating that mayors do not have the right to ban motorhome parking.

Mayor Nicolas Datas of Tournay has begun studying a possible exit from the community of communes after 150 caravans occupied the stadium near a school. The president calls it a pretext.
The motorhome parking area on chemin de la Grande-Prairie in Auxonne, open since February, has attracted over 3,600 people in five months. According to operator Camping-Car Park, 1,500 pitches have been booked, with reservations expected for August, September, and December.
Due to the increasing number of motorhomes and camper vans in Lamballe-Armor (Côtes-d'Armor), especially on the coast at Planguenoual, the mayor has issued a decree regulating their parking. The site at Planguenoual has 50 spaces with a dump station, drinking water, waste containers, and electrical hookups.
A family from Normandy, consisting of Mathilde Morin (37), her partner Wandrille, and their three daughters, is traveling through Brittany in a rented motorhome. They stopped for a picnic on the banks of the Aulne river in Châteaulin. This is their second experience with a motorhome, which they rented specifically for the trip. The route includes visits to the Pink Granite Coast, Le Conquet, Douarnenez, and Concarneau.
Since June 11, the former Cluses campsite has been converted into a motorhome parking area. Two months after reopening, the site is attracting a new audience. Entry is like a standard paid parking lot with an automatic barrier, and a screen shows the number of occupied spaces, also available online. On Saturday, August 8 at 7:30 p.m., 22 of 66 spaces were occupied when a van approached; the driver used a Camping-car park card, the company commissioned by the Cluses Arve et montagne intermunicipal community (2CCAM) to manage the site, and became the 23rd vehicle.
Maribel and Vicente from Mallorca have been living in a motorhome and traveling around Europe for five years. They say this lifestyle allows them to save about 1,400 euros per month. Their total monthly budget is around 2,000 euros, with up to 700 euros spent on diesel. Solar panels and batteries provide them with energy, leaving them with few other expenses.
On the evening of August 9, 150 caravans illegally set up on seaside plots in Lancieux (Côtes-d'Armor) belonging to the Coastal Conservatory.

Alternative sites were refused by a representative of the Traveller community. No departure date has been set.
