Traffic jams from Slovenia spill into Croatia: kilometer-long queue near Zaprešić

A camper van and a car collided on road 106 between the Pag Bridge and the town of Pag. Three people were taken to Zadar hospital for assessment and treatment. The road has been closed to all traffic since 9:45 a.m. pending investigation.

Camper van and motorhome tourism is booming in Croatia as more travelers seek flexible, mobile exploration of the country. Key drivers include the ability to move spontaneously between beaches, islands, and coastal towns without fixed hotel schedules. Croatia's long coastline, scenic roads, and compact distances make it particularly attractive. However, the boom also brings challenges: overcrowded campsites, illegal parking, and pressure on coastal infrastructure, especially in environmentally sensitive areas.

An RV PRO article offers recommendations for designing a dealership showroom that attracts customers and makes the visit memorable. The focus is on creating a focal point using bright lighting, color accents (especially yellow-green), and seasonal updates. Examples include a successful display at Curtis Trailers in Portland, Oregon.

The article explains why RVs and travel trailers frequently get stuck on soft gravel pads in campgrounds, especially after rain. Key causes include dual rear wheels concentrating weight and highway-rated tires lacking off-road grip. Tow truck calls for RVs in 2025-2026 averaged $400 to $1,200, with many national park and Forest Service campgrounds inaccessible to standard wreckers. An emergency traction kit (a steel claw that straps to the drive wheel) is recommended, rated for vehicles under 30,000 lbs GVW.
