The Florence Chamber of Commerce has adopted a standard contract for the sale of new motorhomes. The initiative, prompted by the National Camperists Coordination Association (A.N.C.C.), aims to ensure greater transparency and good faith in dealings between professional dealers and buyers. The contract includes a conciliation clause for the rapid resolution of disputes and received a positive opinion from the Market Regulation Commission.

The Deliberative Council of San Antonio Oeste has presented an ordinance to regulate the use of motorhomes on coastal beaches ahead of the 2025/26 summer season. The regulation establishes parking rules, prohibits the discharge of grey or black water, and introduces a fee for using public space. The executive branch is authorized to designate permitted parking areas and set up wastewater disposal points.

Authorities on the Isle of Man have urged campervan users to stop using public spaces on Douglas Promenade as makeshift campsites, following a complaint from a resident during the Manx Grand Prix and Classic TT. The resident reported that visitors parked motorbikes on the walkway and set out furniture, including tables and chairs. Instead of issuing fines, council wardens are visiting the area daily and placing information notices on the bikes. In a joint statement, the Department of Infrastructure and the council said they aim to inform visitors about using campsites, and plan to purchase signage next year to clarify that camping and campervans are not allowed. This follows previous action last year over overnight parking and concerns about waste disposal.

Glenlough Campsite in Union Mills has submitted a planning application for five motorhome hardstandings. The new pitches will be located within areas already used by motorhomes and will not involve site expansion. The proposal also includes new internal access tracks and clearance of low scrub. The applicant describes it as a 'sensible and proportionate enhancement' of an existing tourism facility.
