"Many cried": Disbelief after permanent camping debacle

The Karlstein municipal council terminated all 360 permanent plots at the Weißsee lake in Großwelzheim, Bavaria, in August 2025, giving occupants until March 2026 to vacate. The decision, citing a need for 2.4 million euros to address critical safety issues in the aging infrastructure, has sparked protests and the formation of a citizens' initiative. While a similar scenario is not currently anticipated at the Mainflinger Badesee in Hessen, the situation is being closely monitored following a comparable termination in Wörth am Main.

After almost 70 years, Bürstner has stopped making caravans — and nobody was particularly surprised once sales had fallen by a third. Sweden registered 62% more motorhomes and is preparing to let them drive faster. Chet Hanks moved into a retirees' trailer park in Nashville — for the country music career, not the savings. Plus a Korean workation site for 100 motorhomes, an unmanned trailer hotel on Hokkaido, and a gyrocopter pilot who landed on a highway and clipped an oncoming motorhome — all in this issue.

Sandpoint City Council to decide on RV park land deal with hotel developer

The Sandpoint City Council will decide whether to lease or sell the City Beach RV Park land to Averill Hospitality, which says its planned Sandpoint Lakeside Resort cannot proceed otherwise. The RV park generates over $94,000 annually for the city's parks fund, and a $1 million renovation is planned. A 1922 covenant may restrict the land to park use, complicating a sale.

B.C. shuts off utilities at Abbotsford RV camp without notice

Residents at an RV rest stop in Abbotsford, British Columbia, report the province shut off water, power, and waste disposal services without warning. The B.C. Ministry of Transportation cited ongoing public safety complaints and vandalism as reasons, while the city expressed disappointment over the lack of notice. The site, scheduled for permanent closure as part of a highway expansion, was removed from the provincial rest stop inventory in September.

The Mobil'douche association is ending its nearly decade-long service of providing mobile showers and hygiene support to homeless people in Avignon. The camper van, named Laïka, conducted three weekly rounds but will cease operations due to unspecified constraints. The service had assisted hundreds of individuals, primarily men, offering showers, hygiene products, and clothing.
