Clever Motorhomes Premiere in Norway

In Hamar, Norway, motorhomes have been regularly crashing into the ceiling of the new Victoria underpass, whose height was reduced from 3 to 2.4 meters. A local caretaker said that during the peak season, incidents occurred up to five or six times a day. The underpass was replaced during a station upgrade, and Bane Nor received a dispensation from standard clearance requirements. Authorities have ordered additional warning signs, but lowering the road is not feasible due to proximity to Lake Mjøsa.

For over a year, an unregistered motorhome has occupied a motorhome parking spot at Tyska in central Halden. Police have removed the license plates, but neighbors and motorhome tourists are demanding that the municipality remove the vehicle permanently.

A campsite just outside Kristiansand, Norway, provides spaces for caravans, motorhomes, and tents, as well as cabin rentals. The site features scenic views of the archipelago and family-friendly amenities.

July was a very good month for the camping and motorhome industry in Fredrikstad. Aktivitetsbyen Gamle Fredrikstad set a revenue record, while the city's two central motorhome parks reported very high occupancy. At the Odden motorhome park on Kråkerøy, with 30 spaces, 871 overnight stays were registered in July, averaging over 28 occupied spaces. Bevø Camping in Torsnes also reported full occupancy every day in July, and noted a 40% increase in tent guests compared to last year.

In Norway, a caravan was completely destroyed by fire. Witnesses say little remains of the vehicle. The incident occurred recently; details are being clarified.

A car towing a caravan caught fire on the E134 in Ullensvang, about 100 meters west of the Svandalsflot tunnel. All occupants evacuated safely, and the caravan was detached from the vehicle, with no risk of the fire spreading. The road is closed while police and firefighters respond; no injuries have been reported.
