RV driver accidentally dumps waste into diesel tank at Colorado gas station
Original source: Autobahn

In Montrose, Colorado, an RV driver mistook the underground diesel fill port for a waste dump station at a Maverik gas station. The diesel pumps were shut down, and the fuel became unsaleable. The exact volume of contaminated diesel is unconfirmed, but estimates suggest tens of thousands of liters. A similar incident occurred in Canada in 2020.

High fuel prices reshape travel patterns for motorhome and caravan users

At the Le Sans-Souci campsite in Fresnay-sur-Sarthe, France, during the Ascension weekend, a shift in visitor behavior was observed. Despite occupancy similar to last year, many guests came from less than two hours away, according to a report by Le Maine Libre. Some travelers canceled long-distance trips (e.g., to the Cévennes or Switzerland) in favor of closer destinations, while motorhome and caravan owners drove slower, avoided toll roads, and cut spending on restaurant meals.

First solo campervan trip ends with getting stuck in mud

Writer Sydnee Chapman embarked on her first solo trip in a compact campervan, but heavy rain turned her campsite into a muddy bog, leaving the vehicle stuck. Neighbors' attempts to help with a small pickup also failed. A sheriff arrived at night to tow both vehicles, after passersby found mobile reception to call for help. Chapman learned to trust strangers and prepare for unexpected situations.

Dutch campsite installs rotating platform for motorhomes

At the Nuuverstee campsite in Borger, Drenthe, a rotating platform has been installed for motorhomes. Guests can manually rotate their vehicle to adjust for sun, wind, or view. The platform accommodates motorhomes up to 8 meters in length and 4,000 kg in weight. The other 34 pitches accept motorhomes up to 9 meters and 5,000 kg. The feature addresses a common camper annoyance: repositioning the vehicle due to changing conditions.
