The model accommodates up to six people with two sleeping areas, a kitchen with an oven, and a bathroom. The price has not been announced, but other Casagaea models range from €40,000 to €65,000. The house can be equipped with an off-grid power system.

On the night of June 12, a caravan was completely destroyed by fire in Eiras, Coimbra. The fire started around 01:30 on Coronel Júlio Velho Simão Street. Firefighters prevented the fire from spreading to a nearby vacant lot.

Portugal, from Lisbon to the Algarve, offers routes for camper van trips with stops for surfing. Roadsurfer provides camper vans and, through its app, indicates parking areas. Recommended beaches include Cantinho da Baía in Peniche, Foz do Lizandro in Ericeira, and Amado, Arrifana, and Tonel in the Algarve.

The municipality of Peniche, together with the maritime police, carried out a raid against illegal parking and overnight stays of motorhomes in environmentally sensitive cliff areas. Drivers were informed about permitted sites and fines, and barriers were installed.

The Freixial Camping Park (Parque de Campismo do Freixial) in the Castelo Branco district has been awarded the Five Star Regions Award in the 'Camping Parks' category for the second consecutive year. The recognition is based on service quality and visitor satisfaction. Located near the village of Penamacor, close to the Spanish border, the park is set in a natural area adjacent to the Serra da Malcata Nature Reserve. It operates annually from June to September; the bar and restaurant are temporarily closed, with reopening expected soon.

Leiria City Council announced that the Praia do Pedrógão campsite will reopen on July 3 for long-term contract holders. The opening has been repeatedly delayed due to safety upgrades following Storm Kristin. Works include fencing, lighting, and fire protection systems. A date for seasonal use has not yet been set.
