Caravans in residential parking lots in Ploiești: the law and why no one enforces it
Original source: Observatorul Prahovean

In Ploiești, two local regulations (HCL No. 253/2021 and HCL No. 96/2009) explicitly prohibit parking caravans on public property, including residential areas and sidewalks. However, in 2025–2026, SGU Ploiești did not tow a single caravan because the police never issued such orders. As a result, despite the ban, caravans continue to occupy parking spaces in front of apartment buildings.

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.

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.
