The municipality of Dogliani has published regulations for the motorhome area in Piazza d'Armi, inaugurated on 3 July and designed to accommodate up to twelve vehicles simultaneously. Access is permitted exclusively to motorhomes as defined by current legislation; parking is expressly prohibited for cars, motorcycles, unconverted vans, caravans, tents, vehicles without self-contained sanitary facilities, vehicles with 'nautical' discharge systems, and vehicles exceeding 35 quintals or the marked spaces. The maximum continuous stay is 96 hours from the moment of arrival, after which the area must be vacated and a minimum interval of 72 hours observed before re-entry. Loading and unloading services operate from 1 April to 31 October; during the winter period from 1 November to 31 March they may be temporarily suspended to prevent frost damage.

Construction of a new camper area in Piazza Oddone in Susa, Italy, is set to begin. The project, presented by Mayor Piero Genovese at the Salone del Camper in Parma, includes a first phase of works, a dog exercise area, and landscaping as part of the urban regeneration of the Re Cozio Archaeological Park. The aim is to encourage longer stays to explore local heritage and businesses.

Italian company Wingamm has unveiled the updated Oasi 540.1 motorhome for 2027. The price is 128,900 dollars (111,741 euros). The body length is 5.42 metres, and the maximum mass is 3,500 kg, allowing it to be driven with a category B licence. Equipment includes a 200 Ah battery, a 130 W solar panel with controller and a 2,000 W inverter, enabling gas-free operation with an induction hob. The chassis is based on the new-generation Fiat Ducato Euro 6D with an automatic gearbox. The monocoque fibreglass body, insulated tanks and Truma Combi diesel heater allow year-round use. The interior offers three sleeping places, a kitchen with a Corian sink and a ceramic toilet.

Flavio, an NCC taxi driver in Sirmione on Lake Garda, has been living in a motorhome for two years because he cannot find an affordable apartment. A one-room apartment would have cost more than 1000 euros per month. In a town of about 8,000 residents, up to 20,500 day visitors are recorded on peak days; some shops and restaurants are being converted into short-term rental apartments at over 1500 euros per week. In August 2026, tourism occupancy on Lake Garda reached 84.8%, and in Verona 80.6%.

Authorities in South Tyrol reported 15 violations during a nationwide crackdown on wild camping. A previous coordinated operation had recorded 21 cases. Overnight stays on public land are banned in the province; camping is allowed only at official campsites and designated motorhome pitches. Tourism councillor Luis Walcher said the issue should not be taken lightly, and authorities will continue joint inspections.
