Kelowna council approves fee for soon-to-open RV sani-dump, questions low rate

Kelowna City Council unanimously approved a $10 fee for the new city-operated RV sanitary dump station, set to open next month on Crowley Avenue. Payment will be via a pay-by-phone app, with fines for non-compliance tied to license plates. The $210,000 facility, included in this year's budget, is expected to recover only 20–50% of costs, prompting some council members to question the low fee.

New EU motorhome safety rules take effect in July

From July 7, 2025, the EU General Safety Regulation II (GSR II) comes into force. All newly registered motorhomes must be equipped with intelligent speed assistance, driver drowsiness monitoring, alcohol lock pre-installation, and a suite of advanced driver-assistance systems (automatic emergency braking, lane keeping, tire pressure monitoring). Industry experts estimate the added cost per new motorhome at €1,000–€3,000. DIY van converters should register their vehicles before July 7 — after that date, even a used chassis will be treated as a new registration and must comply with all mandatory systems.
