Brakel expands motorhome parking but introduces fees

The Belgian municipality of Brakel is reforming the popular motorhome parking area at the De Rijdtmeersen recreation site. The number of spaces will increase from four to twelve, but they will no longer be free. The change is driven by frequent occupation of regular visitor parking by motorhomes, which has drawn criticism. The new site will have a barrier, digital booking and payment via QR code, and free electricity will be discontinued. Construction is expected to start in spring 2027.

Brakel introduces paid parking for motorhomes at De Rijdt recreation area

The Belgian municipality of Brakel will replace free motorhome parking with paid spaces at the De Rijdt recreation site starting next year. The decision follows complaints that motorhome owners often park on free spots meant for regular cars. The new lot will feature a barrier, 12 designated motorhome spaces, and free parking for cars. Stricter enforcement against illegal parking is also planned.

Friends rescue sleeping couple from burning VW camper in Gingelom

Late Saturday night in Gingelom, Belgium, three friends rescued a 75-year-old man and a 55-year-old woman from a burning VW camper. The woman was trapped in a partially scorched sleeping bag. The fire started around 11:15 PM, likely due to a faulty diesel heater installed under the bed. Fire extinguishers on site allowed the fire to be contained before firefighters arrived.

Motorhome or caravan: the key difference for holidaymakers

The choice between a motorhome and a caravan is determined not so much by technical parameters as by travel style. A motorhome offers spontaneity and minimal hassle upon arrival, allowing easy changes of parking spot. A caravan, on the other hand, provides mobility on site: after setting up the trailer, you can freely move around in a passenger car. According to the NKC, traveling with a caravan is less practical when frequently changing locations, but wins out when staying long-term at one site.
