A British carpenter bought a 2002 truck and converted it into a motorhome with a kitchen, five beds, and antique furniture in 12 weeks. Similar truck-based motorhomes on the used market cost between €150,000 and €250,000. Official registration requires a technical inspection, and insurance premiums may be higher until then.

Details of planned motorhome park beside historic canal revealed

Devizes Town Council has proposed a motorhome and caravan parking facility at The Wharf Car Park beside the Kennet and Avon Canal. The pilot scheme includes a minimum of three spaces with potential for expansion, with a 24-hour stay costing around £10. The area will be separate from the main car park, and outdoor camping activities such as awnings and cooking are prohibited. The council expects economic benefits for the town and Wiltshire.
