Canary Islands 90On 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.

The city council of San Vicente de la Barquera has banned parking for motorhomes and large vehicles at several locations, including Tostadero beach, the breakwater, the area around Santa María de los Ángeles church, and near the sports center. New signs prohibit parking for vehicles over 1,600 kg, effectively limiting motorhomes, camper vans, and other bulky vehicles. The measure addresses issues observed in recent summers: sidewalk occupation, road encroachment, and pedestrian traffic difficulties. As an alternative, the municipality has opened a new 82-space parking lot on national road N-634, connected to the town center by a bike lane and pedestrian access.
The Socialist Party has proposed creating a specific parking area for motorhomes in the municipality of San Vicente del Raspeig.

The Ordino parish council plans to expand and regulate spaces for motorhomes to balance tourist needs and local coexistence.

The tire manufacturers' association AFANE has warned of a new requirement for tread depth on trucks, trailers and buses. Under an amendment to the General Vehicle Regulations, the minimum tread depth for these vehicles is 1 mm. Violations are punishable by a fine of 200 euros per tire.

Josep Jané, a 62-year-old retiree from Barcelona, has been voluntarily maintaining and welcoming guests at the motorhome parking area in Bovera (Lleida) since February. He helps drivers park, informs them about local services, and resolves issues. He moved to the village in April and rents a house there. The initiative was proposed to the municipality, which supported it. The parking area has 9 spaces, with a rotation of 2 per day, hosting over 60 motorhomes monthly, 90% of which are foreign visitors from France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark. Jané plans to systematize data collection on visitors. The mayor set a fee of €3/day for electricity and noted that signs prohibit motorhomes from driving through the village.
