23-year-old converts used motorhome with furniture from old apartment

Fliss Freeborn, 23, bought a used VW Transporter T5 for £8,500 (about $10,000) and converted it into a home on wheels using furniture from her old apartment. The total budget was around £10,000 ($11,900). An old TV stand became a kitchen unit, bed slats became a storage box, and bookshelf shelves were used for the table and bed platform. New wood cost $35, and a custom mattress cost $120. The motorhome has no built-in sink or stove; a portable two-burner stove is used. An auxiliary battery charged by the engine provides power.

British man concreted over wildlife reserve to create motorhome pitches

Michael Delaney, 39, from Sussex, England, must remove six motorhome pitches and restore a seven-acre plot he concreted without planning permission. Work began in August without an application, and inspector Paul Freer described the development as a 'flagrant, contemptuous and blatant' case of deliberate unauthorized building. The site is habitat for the protected great crested newt, adding an environmental dimension. The family has three months to vacate the motorhomes and six months to remove hard surfaces and restore the land.

Popular East Lothian campsite named the best in Scotland for the second year running

The five-star Drummohr Camping and Glamping Site, between Musselburgh and Prestonpans, won the Camping Site of the Year award at the Scottish Hospitality Awards on June 17. It was also a finalist in the Hospitality Champion of the Year category. In 2025, the site was named the UK's most dog-friendly campsite, and in 2024 it won two national awards.
