From October Spain bans blocking motorhome parking, but the Canaries tighten site rules. Also: Honda Trail Master and Turkey's caravan boom.
Two years on the road with a cat named Zhuzu — and not a single day of wanting to go back. We break down life in a camper van: where to find water, how heating works, what to do about electricity, and where to look for overnight spots. 7 countries, hundreds of places, and an honest account — from the mountain roads of Turkey to the coastline of Montenegro.
Comprehensive review of all RV and camper toilet types: cassette, portable, gravity, vacuum, macerating, dry flush, sealing, incinerating, composting and separating. Comparison of models, consumables, installation and annual costs.
British camper manufacturer Wheelhome has changed its Dashaway eRC project from a specialized capsule for a Tesla Model 3 into a universal trailer due to a lack of orders. The new Dashaway eCT model, weighing 340 kg, is designed to be towed by any car and will be presented in February 2026. It features a lithium battery, an 18-liter compressor fridge, and a water system.
The German startup Hannes Camper has updated the interior design and introduced new kitchen technology for its camper vans based on the Citroën Jumper and Fiat Ducato. The key innovation is an integrated gas stove with a ceramic glass surface for easier cleaning. The base Viica 54 model, measuring 5.4 meters, starts at 74,900 euros, but the standard battery limits off-grid capability.
The Carstay T-01 electric camper van debuted at the Fukuoka Mobility Show in Japan. It is based on an ELEMO-L commercial van, features a 43.5 kWh battery and a 370W solar panel, and has a starting price of 9.95 million yen. The company also presented a concept for mobile living and production bases, projecting the Japanese camper van market to reach 5 trillion yen by the 2030s.
Since 2025, France requires an environmental sticker (Crit'Air) for all vehicles entering low-emission zones in over 40 urban areas. Campers without the sticker face fines of €68 to €135. The sticker costs €5.11 and must be ordered from the official website certificat-air.gouv.fr. Fines can be issued even on highways, such as the M35 in Strasbourg. In Paris and Lyon, only vehicles with Crit'Air class 2 or higher are allowed, affecting diesel campers registered between 2006 and 2010 (class 3).
Petra and Rüdiger Erbslöh from Lank-Latum again took part in the WDR series 'Wir werden Camper'. They traveled by motorhome along the Côte d'Azur between Grasse and Monaco. The episode airs on Wednesday.
A motorhome owner towing a caravan in Brittany, France, 1000 km from home, experienced a left rear air suspension hose burst. A temporary repair failed due to heat, and the system now fails to level: the right side stays at maximum pressure, the left rises only 3 cm before the compressor shuts off. An official Mercedes dealer cannot offer a service slot for two weeks but will provide a new hose tomorrow. The owner suspects the compressor stops because the right side is at maximum, not due to a leak, and asks about recalibration or reset options.
A Citroën Chausson motorhome was stolen in Soncourt-sur-Marne overnight from Sunday 26 to Monday 27 July, between midnight and 5 a.m., on Rue du Pont. The vehicle, registered AR-796-CJ, had no batteries at the time of the theft, according to its owner, and was therefore likely towed. A surveillance camera in front of the home did not provide usable footage. Anyone who sees the vehicle or has information is asked to contact the Bologne gendarmerie.
Winemakers in the French department of Nièvre are actively attracting motorhome owners by offering overnight parking on their vineyards. The initiative, supported by local authorities, includes equipped parking areas with wine tasting opportunities. According to the winemakers' association, over 500 motorhome tourists visited such sites in 2025, boosting rural tourism.
About 80 caravans have occupied the two main pitches of the Mouton stadium in Marseille's 11th arrondissement, blocking access for the 650 licensed members of Marseille Rugby Méditerranée. Physical training was scheduled to begin in August. Police confirmed the intrusion, which was made possible after protective boulders installed during recent municipal works were moved. Club president Augustin Marie expressed frustration over a recurring situation that threatens the club's activities and jobs. The local mayor's office has filed a complaint and is demanding a swift evacuation. On Monday, tensions near the sports complex escalated into an altercation involving a journalist, requiring additional municipal police intervention. The club's sporting calendar remains uncertain.
