In Brief

On June 28, a campervan with Swiss plates crashed into a shop window on state road SS16 in Giulianova. Three family members were hospitalized, one woman was trapped. Cause under investigation.

On June 28, 2026, around 4:30 PM on state road SS16 in Giulianova (Teramo province), a campervan with Swiss plates lost control and crashed into a shop window. According to various sources, the shop was closed or it was a gift shop, hardware store, or clothing store "Piazza Italia".

The vehicle carried a family of three (reportedly a couple aged 50 and their 18-year-old daughter). All three were taken to Giulianova hospital with non-serious injuries. One woman was trapped in the cabin and freed by firefighters. Three dogs in the campervan were unharmed and temporarily handed over to a local association.

The cause of the accident is being investigated. Possible explanations include sudden driver drowsiness, illness, or distraction. Firefighters from Roseto degli Abruzzi, two ambulance crews, and carabinieri responded.

A Belgian family with four children has been stranded in Argentina for weeks during their South American trip. The motorhome's engine is in a limited emergency mode due to a fault code that local mechanics cannot read or reset because of locked European manufacturer software. The manufacturer states the code can only be cleared at a specific Volkswagen factory located 867 kilometers away.

Vehicle strandings at Traeth y Graig Ddu beach in Gwynedd increased significantly in 2025, with an estimated 30 cars and motorhomes recovered. A local farmer using a tractor performed most rescues as drivers, often from cities, misjudged the rapid tides and parked too low on the sand. Approximately one-third of the vehicles were submerged by seawater, leading to likely insurance write-offs.

In the Italian region of Salento, particularly in Gallipoli and Porto Cesareo, tourists in motorhomes are parking near cliffs, among dunes, and in prohibited areas, avoiding equipped parking areas and campsites. This results in municipalities losing significant tax revenue, including tourist tax and waste tax, with damages estimated at 50-60 thousand euros per season. Porto Cesareo has deployed patrols to address violations, while Gallipoli is considering structural measures.

Several campgrounds at Lake Garda offer extensive entertainment for children and amenities for parents. These include Baia Verde with animation and pools, Eden with a water park and private beach, Bella Italia with a kids' club and shows, Spiaggia D'Oro with water slides and an indoor play area, and Sportcamping Rio Vantone at Lake Idro, which focuses on sports and nature. Some campgrounds are open year-round.

In San Benedetto, where there has been no campsite for decades, the camper area under the Ascoli-Mare elevated road remained closed this summer. Mayor Nicola Mozzoni acknowledged the need to work on the issue and promised to find a solution for the next season. Alternative sites, including the former shooting range, are being considered for a camper parking area.

MOLTOMENO.DESIGN from Milan has introduced the MATRIOSKA kit that converts a seven-seat UAZ SGR into a motorhome with a kitchen, sleeping area, and dining zone in 99 minutes. Installation requires no special tools: three seats are removed. The kit includes a fold-out double bed (120×200 cm), a kitchen with a gas stove, sink, and two 12-liter water tanks. The base version costs 7,500 euros, with a refrigerator — 9,000 euros, comparable to the vehicle's price (726,900–777,700 rubles).
