Two years on the road with a cat named Zhuzu — and not a single day of wanting to go back.

North Yorkshire Council is reassessing an experimental overnight parking ban for motorhomes on its coast after it displaced vehicles to residential streets. The ban, implemented last November in Scarborough, Whitby, and Cayton, led to over 2,000 complaints about issues like grey water discharge and noise. Councilors confirm the review will consider options, including reinstating controlled overnight parking with proper enforcement.
The town of Rye has enacted a ban on overnight parking and camping in all vehicles, including campers and vans, citing public health and safety issues. The ordinance, effective immediately, prohibits the practice from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. on all town roads, parks, and beaches, with violators facing a $100 fine. Police state the measure primarily targets beachgoers and visitors, not the homeless population, and will initially focus on education over enforcement.
San Francisco authorities have begun towing RVs under a new parking ban. District 10 Supervisor Shamann Walton said he was not consulted on the decision to store the towed vehicles at Pier 68 in Dogpatch. He called the move an example of his district being treated as a 'dumping ground' for the city's hardest challenges.

New registrations of caravans in Denmark have more than halved over the past five years, according to Statistics Denmark. One factor is the shift to electric vehicles, as towing a heavy caravan can cut range by half. Sk Caravan director Lars Blom reports falling sales and hopes for better batteries and longer range.
Danish caravan owners are reluctant to switch to electric cars due to high costs and reduced range when towing. Sales of new caravans in Denmark have more than halved over the past five years: 755 new caravans registered this year versus over 2,000 five years ago. FDM technical consultant Tom Westersø Larsen notes that with a heavy caravan, an EV's range is halved, and a trip to Lake Garda would require about six charging stops instead of two diesel refuels. Camping Outdoor Denmark director Kirsten Munk Andersen adds that the decline is also due to the growing popularity of other holiday forms.

Preliminary investigation suggests the crash was caused by a failed overtaking maneuver. The 60-year-old Finnish driver of the motorhome was unharmed. The road was closed for a period while authorities investigated.
