Several caravan fires have been reported in Norway: gas cylinder explosions in Stange, total burnout in Ullensaker and Gardermoen, and a closed investigation into a fire in Bø.
Police reported a motorhome stopped in the Brennetunnelen on the E16 highway, northbound. The right lane is blocked, and a recovery vehicle has been dispatched.
In Modum, Norway, the installation of signs regulating motorhome parking at Vikland pier has been postponed until autumn. Local politician Øyvind Trulsrud (Ap) expressed disappointment that the signs will not be in place before the summer holidays, despite earlier promises. Every day, motorhome tourists park in a scenic area north of Vikersund center, unaware that overnight stays are illegal.
A journalist drove 3,000 km through Norway in an electric car with a roof tent and an espresso machine. The trip involved closed roads, a lack of charging points on a ferry, and bad weather, but highlighted Norway's well-developed EV infrastructure. Over 80% of new cars in Norway are electric, and charging stations are available even in remote fjord regions, though real-time availability data can be inaccurate.
The municipality of Halden, Norway, has decided to charge for motorhome parking at the popular free site Tyska. Previously, tourists flocked there due to no fees, but authorities now aim to limit the influx and cover maintenance costs. The measure takes effect shortly.
In Ankenes, Norway, a motorhome lost control and crashed into the wall of the ST1 gas station. Emergency services arrived at the scene; the station was cordoned off. A leak from the vehicle was reported, but no damage to the pumps occurred.
On 7 July 2026, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration conducted a traffic control at Brimnes ferry quay. A tour bus driver tried to evade the check and was reported for multiple driving‑time violations; he received nine warnings, three fines of NOK 1,000 each, and the company was charged three fees of NOK 2,000 each. A foreign motorhome was 500 kg over the legal weight limit and had to unload before continuing. In total, 162 heavy vehicles, 27 vans and 35 light vehicles were checked, resulting in two reports, five driving bans, and 11 other fees.
