Saxony 84On 27 July Germany checks motorhomes and trailers on the A31 and A30. Also: a diesel tax in Finland has left motorhomes parked up for most of the year.
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.

The municipality of Schliersee has approved a concept to regulate motorhome tourism. Six parking sites with varying service levels are planned, costing between 12 and 25 euros per 24 hours. Investments range from 1,000 to 40,000 euros per site, with an expected payback period of five years.
The SPD in Mammendorf criticized the new pricing for the motorhome parking lot at the Freizeitpark as socially unacceptable, but the district council rejected the amendment with a vote of 9 to 3. Since 2025, the overnight fee changed from a flat €15 per motorhome to €10 per night plus per-person charges: €10 for adults, €8 for youth, with free pool entry included. The original flat rate had led to up to eight people per vehicle. The parking lot was originally intended for group leaders.
Tourists in motorhomes positively assess the infrastructure and natural attractions of the Heilbronn region. The area has 46 equipped motorhome parking sites with over 400 spaces, including electricity and water hookups. The popularity of locations like the Weinsberg site leads to full occupancy on peak days.
The city of Augsburg plans to allow only passenger cars on three Park-and-Ride lots: Hammerschmiede, Inninger Straße, and Augsburg Nord/Oberhausen. The reason is that these spaces are increasingly occupied by long-term parkers, motorhomes, and trailers, limiting parking for commuters. A traffic law partial withdrawal procedure has been initiated to enforce the ban.
During summer holiday checks in the Viersen district, police recorded more than 20 violations. These included two unsecured dogs in a motorhome, one of which was in the driver's footwell. Officers also found four overloaded vehicles, five cargo-securing violations, eight speeding offences, and two vehicles with expired roadworthiness tests.
On 24 July 2026, the Verkehrsdirektion Mainz announced a control event on 2 August 2026 on motorway A61 (direction Ludwigshafen, rest area Wonnegau-West) from 9:00 to 14:00 for motorhomes and caravans. Drivers can have their vehicles weighed free of charge using police radial load scales and receive advice on load securing, axle loads and weights. The campaign is timed to the start of the holiday season and increased tourist traffic.
GOK has introduced the Caramatic GasControl remote gas shut-off for motorhomes and campers, set to launch around the Caravan Salon 2026. The device allows cutting off gas supply from inside the vehicle with a button press and differs from the Truma GS8 by enabling connection to a gas detector: if a leak is detected, the system automatically closes the valve. The Caramatic GasControl operates on 12/24 V, has a built-in battery for operation without external power, and is compatible with GOK Crash-Sensor systems. The Truma GS8, available from around 170 euros, does not support gas detector integration.
The «Camping’Pinte» gastronomy project at the Große Heide campsite in Olfen will cease operations in early August 2026. Operator Carsten Heidemann announced the closure on July 23, citing noise complaints and criticism of the concept. The establishment opened in April 2026 and was intended to operate for the full season.
The municipal council of Schliersee has approved a new parking fee ordinance for 22 parking lots. The day ticket in the town centre increased from 10 to 12 euros, and at hiker parking lots from 6 to 10 euros. Overnight parking fees for motorhomes were introduced at three hiker lots (20 euros), and a new dedicated motorhome pitch on Seestrasse costs 25 euros for 24 hours. A proposal to issue annual tickets to all primary residents was rejected by 18 votes to 1.
