Incorrect Weight Specifications: Knaus Tabbert Pays Multi-Million Euro Fine

The German motorhome manufacturer Knaus Tabbert AG has accepted a fine exceeding six million euros from the Stuttgart public prosecutor's office. The penalty was imposed because the company had understated the weight of its motorhomes, a practice linked to the popular 3.5-tonne limit for standard driver's licenses. The company has made financial provisions for the fine, stating the payment will not significantly impact its annual results.

North Yorkshire Council reviews overnight campervan ban after resident complaints

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.

Scottish ski resort reports low campervan donation compliance and waste issues

Glencoe Mountain Resort has publicly criticized some campervan owners for not paying the requested £5 nightly donation and improperly disposing of waste. The resort stated that during the festive period, only about 25% of the approximately 50 vans staying nightly paid the fee, and staff reported vans sharing a key to avoid a separate waste disposal charge. The resort's social media post, which gained significant attention, described the behavior as disrespectful and incurring extra costs for the business.

Illegal campsite with gas cylinders and campfires found in forest in Seli, Imathia

An illegal campsite was set up in early July in the forest near the village of Seli in Imathia, where campers used gas cylinders for cooking and lit fires. According to the president of the Seli community, Giorgos Farsarotos, there were over 50 tents and makeshift structures, with more than 300 people, and no sanitary facilities, running water, or lighting. Most campers left after warnings from the forestry service and the municipality of Naousa, but the president calls for the area to be cleaned and measures taken to prevent a recurrence.

Greece misses out on camping and motorhome market

In 2025, overnight stays at campsites and motorhome pitches in the EU reached 413 million, up 28.5% from 2015, compared to 23.4% growth for hotels. Greece, despite its natural potential, underuses this segment: Law 5170/2025, while expanding opportunities for glamping, simultaneously imposes bans on motorhome parking and tent pitching in certain public areas with a fine of 300 euros, creating a lack of legal infrastructure.
