On 27 July Germany checks motorhomes and trailers on the A31 and A30. Also: a diesel tax in Finland has left motorhomes parked up for most of the year.
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.
On Wednesday afternoon, a campervan left the road and ended up in the Beilervaart canal near Beilen. The driver escaped and swam to shore before being taken to hospital. Police preliminarily attribute the accident to an evasive maneuver.
On Monday afternoon, a camper van left the road on the A6 slip road in Lelystad. Two passengers were injured and evacuated by air ambulance. The slip road was closed.
On Jan 14, a camper ended up in a cornfield near Zwinderen on the A37. On May 25, a camper caught fire on the N31 near Drachten due to a short circuit. On July 23, a car with caravan ended up in a ditch on the N31 near Garyp.
Due to large wildfires in Southern Europe, which have led to the evacuation of about 200,000 people, owners of caravans and campers may receive compensation for damage only if they have the appropriate insurance. Caravan damage is covered by a caravan insurance policy if taken out; for a camper, mandatory insurance covers damage depending on the policy. Tents are usually covered under the baggage section of travel insurance. Evacuation and alternative accommodation are covered by travel insurance, but voluntary early return is not reimbursed.
At the Geesterduin shopping centre car park in Castricum, an increasing number of caravans and motorhomes are occupying spaces meant for shoppers, especially on busy days like Saturdays. Locals report that this makes finding a parking spot more difficult during peak hours.
A fire at the Schieweg industrial estate in Delft destroyed the belongings of Jan van Drunen (77). His boat and truck trailer were engulfed in flames, and his caravan was written off. Van Drunen was uninsured, as insurers reportedly refuse to cover fairground workers, classifying them as caravan dwellers. His son bought him a second-hand caravan, but it lacks shower and water. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Camping De Kleine Wereld in Onnen, Groningen, is fully booked with 400 guests currently staying. The campsite has existed in its current form for two years and is located on the site of former Camping De Fruitberg, which operated until 2000, and from 2013 to 2017 was used by the Central Agency for the Reception of Asylum Seekers (COA). Owners Bas van Engeland and his wife Elsemieke have transformed the area into a place for young families.
Dethleffs has added two new dealers in the Netherlands: Linberg Caravan Centrum in Molenschot (West Brabant) and CCR in Lemmer (Friesland). The first caravans are now on display. Linberg has been in business since 1968, while CCR sells Laika and Etrusco motorhomes and plans to expand.
In the Netherlands, parking a caravan or motorhome on a public road for more than three days can result in a fine of 130 euros plus 9 euros in administrative costs, totaling 139 euros. The rule applies in most municipalities, though the exact time limit is set by local regulations. Parking on private property is subject to different rules, and violations may lead to more expensive penalties.
