Motorhome and SUV collision injures six in Kırşehir

In Eskişehir, parking of caravans on streets and roads has been banned in six districts. The decision was made by UKOME to ensure vehicle circulation and maintain traffic order. The ban applies to travel trailers and motorhomes in the Sümer, Kırmızıtoprak, Vişnelik, Osmangazi, Hoşnudiye, and Orhangazi districts. Violators will face fines under Road Traffic Law No. 2918.

Construction of a caravan park has begun in Çorlu, Turkey, adjacent to a recreation area developed by the municipality in cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Mayor Ahmet Sarıkurt inspected the site and said the park will boost alternative tourism and provide comfortable facilities for caravan owners. The project is expected to be completed shortly.

Turkish manufacturer Ortsan Outdoor has unveiled the 'Mini House Caravan', a trailer that measures 4 meters in length and 2.1 meters in width when closed, and expands to 20.4 square meters when opened. It features a kitchen with a gas stove, a bathroom, a 90-liter refrigerator, and a 200-liter water tank. The price is around 16,700 euros, including a 470-watt solar panel. The concept is not new: in the 1980s, Dutch architect Eduard Böhtlingk created a similar 'De Markies', but it never went into production.

Çorlu Mayor Ahmet Sarıkurt inspected the ongoing construction of a motorhome park adjacent to a recreation area, developed in cooperation with the Çorlu Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The project aims to boost alternative tourism and provide new social spaces. Once completed, the park is expected to serve both residents and visitors.

In the Atakum district of Samsun, a resident discovered that his caravan, parked in a public lot for about a year, had been removed. Following a complaint, traffic police and municipal officers towed it to an impound lot. Upon retrieval, the owner noticed bent rear stabilizer legs and said he received no clear guidance on documenting the damage. He paid the required fee and is now asking which authority will cover the repair costs.
