Belgian navy couple extinguishes smouldering caravan tyre in Westerscheldetunnel

In the Westerscheldetunnel (Netherlands), a caravan tyre began smouldering after a puncture. Lien and Anthony, both Belgian navy personnel, immediately used a mini fire extinguisher from their camper and later a foam extinguisher from the tunnel wall to fully suppress the fire before firefighters arrived. The cause was a puncture. The caravan was towed away; no injuries were reported.

Gilze plan: storage for caravans and campers on old farm

The municipal council of Gilze en Rijen has adopted the TAM environmental plan for Hoogstraat 8 in Gilze. A former farm will be partially demolished and converted into a storage facility for caravans and campers. Part of the old poultry sheds will be demolished, while a barn will be used for storage. The decision was made on June 15, 2026, and will take effect after the appeal period ends on August 24, 2026. Documents will be available for inspection from July 14 for six weeks.

Family with children lives in caravan due to home renovation

A family with two children (ages 9 and 4) is living in a 2005 Hobby caravan at Camping Meerwijck in Midden-Groningen because their house in Sappemeer is being renovated for 12–16 weeks. Renting a chalet in high season costs around €1,000 per week, so the family opted for a cheaper alternative. The 91-year-old grandmother from Delfzijl visited them at the campsite; she was transported by cargo bike as she has become less mobile and uses a walker.

Camper pitches open on dairy farm in Stompetoren

Vincent and Roos Smit have opened 16 camper pitches on their dairy farm in Stompetoren, Netherlands. The project was launched after a bank required additional income to finance a new insulated roof with solar panels. Preparations took 1.5 years, including permits and soil/nitrogen studies. Guests check in via QR code; the farm also has a shop selling raw milk, beef, and homemade dairy products. Early reviews are five-star.
