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.
Comprehensive review of all RV and camper toilet types: cassette, portable, gravity, vacuum, macerating, dry flush, sealing, incinerating, composting and separating. Comparison of models, consumables, installation and annual costs.
British carpenter Guy Williams converted a 2002 Ford Iveco Cargo truck into a mobile home. In 12 weeks, he created a living space with a kitchen, bathroom, two bedrooms, and a hidden jacuzzi under the floor. The vehicle is a 7.5-ton truck, requiring a C-class license and limiting its use on regular roads. The Val project is not designed for frequent travel due to high energy consumption and insulation challenges.
Volkswagen has unveiled the off-road oriented Grand California Dune motorhome. Two key options are required for proper off-road capability: 4Motion all-wheel drive and a locking differential. The base price in Germany starts at 88,965 euros.
A camper conversion based on a Volvo 940 hearse built by Nilsson has been presented in the Netherlands. Nilsson, founded in 1945, specialized in lengthening Volvos for funeral, medical, and transport purposes. The cargo floor length matches a Volkswagen California, and the bed width exceeds that of a 240 hearse. After removing the partition and coffin frame, a mattress, refrigerator, folding chairs, table, and solar panel were installed. The camper weighs nearly the same as a Volvo 940 Estate but has a more powerful HPT engine (30 hp difference).

Friends of Willamette Cascades Watersheds, a nonprofit in Lane County, Oregon, cleans up illegally dumped vehicles and trash. Since 2023, volunteers have completed 141 cleanups, removing 507,870 pounds of trash. The organization disposes of an RV for about $1,012 on average, compared to the county's average of $3,905 per RV. High costs and strict regulations often lead to vehicle abandonment in local forests.

DNA analysis on Aug. 5 confirmed it was the same bear. The department noted that warning signs about trapping had been removed by unknown individuals, potentially creating a public safety issue.
