A couple from Côtes-d’Armor, France, claims they have been repaying a loan for over a year for a motorhome that has been immobilized. They bought a used Challenger motorhome in June 2025 for nearly €42,000 from a local dealership. According to the owners, the vehicle had faults including a non-working boiler, shutters, water leaks, and defective wipers, and was returned to the dealership after about 100 km. The dealership denies the claims, stating the motorhome is in working order and ready to go, and that the sale has not been cancelled. No legal proceedings have been initiated.

Kath Cross and Stuart Hall sold their belongings and moved into a 7.5-meter Mercedes Sprinter motorhome. The decision was driven by high weekly housing costs. Since 2022, the couple has traveled over 40,000 km across 15 countries, including Scotland, Europe, and the Sahara. Their monthly expenses range from £900 to £1,200 (€1,050–€1,400), less than the previous rent.

On 3 September, customs officers in Hendaye stopped a motorhome travelling from Spain to Germany and found 334.40 kg of cocaine and 485.20 kg of cannabis resin. A sniffer dog indicated the front of the vehicle, where a concealment space spanning the full height was discovered. The drugs have an estimated retail value of nearly 15 million euros. The driver was remanded in custody and is due to appear in court in Bayonne on 12 October.

The municipality of Guerlédan held a series of inaugurations with institutional partners on 19 September. The first was the motorhome site on Route du Lac, open only for the summer season, which has already recorded more than 2,300 overnight stays since opening. Other completed works included the Sainte-Suzanne crossroads, a school access road, the church square, a commercial unit and public toilets.

The motorhome stopover in Préfailles (Loire-Atlantique) is full even in late September amid rising petrol prices in France. Holidaymakers are shortening trips or distances: a Nantes resident, Marie-Louise, came with her husband for three days instead of a longer stay, and Daniel now travels for a few days rather than several months. Belgians Corinne and Pierrot are on a three-week tour of France, avoiding toll motorways to stay within budget.

On Monday at around 16:40 on the RN70 (northern branch of the RCEA) in the direction of Montceau-les-Mines to Chalon-sur-Saône, a truck driver misjudged the slowing traffic before the Pont Jeanne Rose roundabout. The truck collided with a motorhome and a car, triggering a chain-reaction crash involving other vehicles. Four people were injured: a 78-year-old man and woman in the motorhome, and men aged 57 and 24; all were taken to Hôtel-Dieu hospital. Traffic was cut for over an hour, causing a queue from the Pont des Morands exit to La Fiole.
