Caravan stalls on N69 near Valkenswaard due to loose wheel bolts

On Tuesday afternoon, a caravan stalled on the N69 near Valkenswaard after loose wheel bolts caused a wheel to tilt, leaving a rubber mark on the asphalt. Emergency services tightened the bolts, then towed the caravan to a safe spot, where it was uncoupled and loaded onto a tow truck. The owner was heading to a campsite but had to cancel the trip; the caravan was returned to Beek en Donk.

VVD asks questions about overnight campers at SVO/Amstelbad parking lot

The VVD party in Ouder-Amstel has submitted written questions to the municipal executive about the parking lot at the Amstelbad swimming pool and SVO sports park. Several campers stay overnight almost every night, and commercial vans are also parked there. Campers use the pool's facilities and the public water tap at the SVO entrance, including for filling water tanks. A barrier previously hung over the entrance to prevent tall vehicles from entering, but it has been lying next to the entrance for months. The VVD suggests reinstalling the barrier as a simple and effective measure, along with enforcement, as the lot is intended for visitors to the pool, daycare, and sports fields, not as a free camper site.

Installing a Clesana toilet in a Hymer B680

Sjoerd Kuipers installs a Clesana toilet in a Hymer B680, using an L-adapter to connect to the original Thetford position without cutting. The power management system with a 4 Ah LFP battery charges via existing wiring and provides backup power, allowing the toilet to operate even when the house battery is empty. The installation involves removing the old toilet and connecting the new system.

UAZ Bukhanka with pop-up roof: European version of motorhome

Dutch engineers have unveiled a version of the UAZ Bukhanka with a pop-up roof, which is cheaper and has a familiar layout. Inside, there is a kitchen area with a sink and gas stove, cabinets, drawers under the sofa, and a portable table. The sofa converts into a sleeping area, and an awning is available on the side. A drawback is the dark interior due to opaque side panels without windows. In Russia, a similar project, the UAZ Baikal, did not progress beyond prototypes.
