On 27 July Germany checks motorhomes and trailers on the A31 and A30. Also: a diesel tax in Finland has left motorhomes parked up for most of the year.
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.

The municipality of Dénia is developing an app to register and monitor the parking duration of motorhomes. The measure aims to enforce the 24 to 48-hour stay limit and reduce pressure on public areas. Three new service points for waste water disposal are also planned.
The municipality of Bozcaada, Turkey, has started demolishing illegally placed tiny houses on agricultural land.

San Francisco's new crackdown on RV encampments encountered operational issues on its first day of enforcement. The city towed vehicles from some homeless residents who were unable to obtain permits, while data shows discrepancies in the permit distribution process. The program, launched in June, offers temporary permits in exchange for accepting housing, but enforcement began on November 1st.
The municipality of Fiumicino has taped over the rates for motorhomes and private buses on paid parking signs.

The municipality of Bagnasco (Piedmont) has awarded a contract to install a video surveillance system and provide furnishings for the new equipped motorhome stopover in the Case Sparse Centasco area. The cost of the work is €4,239.50, which allowed the administration to bypass mandatory public procurement procedures.

Italian manufacturer Atlantis has introduced the Carbon 4x4, switching from a front-wheel-drive Fiat Ducato to a four-wheel-drive Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. The new model weighs 600 kg more than the road-going Carbon 695, as the carbon monocoque now serves as the base for a heavier expedition vehicle. Dimensions are 6750 mm in length and 2150 mm in width, with a gross vehicle weight of 4100 kg. The motorhome features a new seamless living capsule with a 10-year warranty. Pre-orders are open, but price and curb weight remain undisclosed. The public debut will be at the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf from August 28 to September 6, 2026.
