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.
Two Russian tourists were swept into the sea inside their motorhome during a storm in Kemer, Turkey. The vehicle was parked on a beach when heavy rain and a swollen river washed it into the water.

A man in his 50s was found dead inside a vehicle rooftop tent in Gapyeong, Gyeonggi Province. Police discovered a portable butane camping stove inside the tent and suspect carbon monoxide poisoning as the cause of death. An investigation into the exact circumstances is ongoing.

In Sicily, motorhome trips to high-altitude areas, particularly Mount Etna, are popular. The route starts from the Mons Gibel Camping Park (Belpasso, 550 m) and leads to the Piano Provenzana parking lot (1810 m), covering about 58 km with an elevation gain of 1260 m. This is followed by a 4×4 ride (18 km round trip) and a 4–5 km hike with a 450–500 m elevation difference to about 3300 m. The excursion lasts 4–5 hours, difficulty moderate (E). Cost is 120–140 euros per person. Above 2800–2900 m, a volcanological guide is mandatory; access may be restricted during heightened activity.
In San Lazzaro di Savena (Bologna province), 64-year-old Giuseppe Michele Colaprico, originally from Foggia, was found dead inside a camper parked in a rest area in front of the Majorana institute. Extreme heat in recent weeks is believed to have contributed to the death, worsening the man's already compromised health. Residents alerted carabinieri after noticing a foul odor. Forensic teams conducted inspections.
State Police in Modena arrested a 31-year-old man, already known to authorities, for attempted aggravated theft. Around 11:00 PM on Viale Martiri della Libertà, officers responded to a 112 emergency call from a street tutor reporting someone tampering with a parked motorhome. The suspect dropped a pair of shears and fled toward via Mascherella but was caught on Corso Adriano. Two of four bicycles originally secured to the motorhome's bike rack were found on the ground nearby, a third was hidden in a flowerbed at Parco Pertini, and the chain had been cut; a window was also broken. The arrest was validated by the preliminary investigations judge, who imposed an obligation to report to judicial police.
Residents of Turin reported the prolonged presence of motorhomes, caravans, and vans on Corso Brunelleschi, near the Mercatò supermarket. They cite safety concerns: abandoned waste, use of public fountains for washing, and belongings left near a playground. District 3 councilor Stefano Bolognesi said structural solutions are needed, not just moving people. Authorities note the same families cyclically move between the San Paolo and Pozzo Strada neighborhoods.
The municipality of Fiumicino has taped over the rates for motorhomes and private buses on paid parking signs.
