Caravan completely destroyed by fire in Dubá, Czech Republic

On May 24, 2026, a screening of the Czech film 'Karavan' will take place in Brno as part of the Scala na provázek.dvoře program. The film follows a woman who embarks on a journey through Italy in an old caravan with her son who has a severe mental disability. It is the first Czech feature film in over 30 years to be screened at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival.

In Pilsen, police accidentally discovered a stolen caravan that had traveled 102 kilometers from the place of theft. The find was made possible by the officers' attentiveness and good memory.

Bürstner has halted caravan production as demand fell 13%. Poland is proposing to scrap road tolls for campervans, while Liguria counts the cost of 8,000 motorhomes descending on the region. Tom Hanks' son has swapped Hollywood for a trailer in pursuit of a music career, and a French couple has driven 100,000 km from the North Cape to Senegal — and that's not even the whole story. All this in this issue.

In the Czech Republic, motorhomes and caravans are gaining popularity due to global instability and rising flight costs. In 2025, over 1,690 new motorhomes were registered, while demand for caravans slightly declined.

Greece has cancelled its own camper van ban — a year and a half on, as if it got cold feet. In Tenerife, 500 motorhomes blocked a motorway demanding the same — pitches and dump stations. In Miami, 200 families are being evicted from a motorhome park by September, while Córdoba is only just applying for permission for a new overnight area. Plus 21 kg of cocaine in a motorhome in Lanzarote, a fake eight-wheeled Mercedes-AMG G63 and a Starbucks coffee trailer in Seoul — in this issue.

The city of Třebíč has leased a plot in Hrádek park for a caravan selling coffee and snacks. The caravan had operated there during the Christmas season and will now be open from May 2025 until the end of 2026. The decision follows a public survey in which residents expressed a desire for the service in summer as well. The caravan will not be open daily but on specific days; no additional seating is added to preserve the park's character.
