Britain's £2 nightly levy could raise budget caravan holiday costs by 66–100%; Croatia and Italy also lead the week.
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.
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.
South Korea's National Assembly has passed a bill prohibiting the unauthorized long-term parking of motorhomes and travel trailers in public parking lots. The law, proposed by lawmaker Jeong Jun-ho, establishes a basis for imposing fines. The move addresses growing complaints from residents about such vehicles occupying spaces for months in residential areas.
Germany's highest fiscal court has ruled that the short-term resale of expensive motorhomes is not necessarily subject to speculation tax. The decision stems from a case where a Saxon couple sold a motorhome for €315,000 a few months after purchase. The court classified the motorhome as an item for personal use, which is an exception to the one-year tax rule for private sales.
UNOLD has introduced the 12K mobile split air conditioner, designed for use in campers and rental homes where permanent installation is not allowed. The unit consists of an indoor and outdoor module connected by a hose, requiring no wall drilling or facade mounting. It cools spaces up to 42 sq m with 3.5 kW capacity, and also offers heating, dehumidifying, and ventilation. The key benefit is lower noise compared to monoblock units, as the compressor is placed outside. Limitation: the hose is fixed, preventing wall-hole installation — only window use.
A camper that fell through a wooden boardwalk in the Grolloërveen nature reserve was extracted faster than expected. Rescuers managed without heavy machinery or a Chinook helicopter, replacing damaged planks with plates, allowing the driver to drive off on his own.
Rogier Smit, a former participant of the show 'Paleis voor een prikkie' who lives in a caravan without electricity or running water, was targeted by a group of youths. They knocked on his caravan door, filmed the incident, and then towed the caravan while Smit was reportedly inside, according to the program Roddelpraat. The event raises concerns about safety and privacy violations.
The European Union has adopted the fourth driving license directive, increasing the maximum permissible vehicle mass for category B from 3,500 kg to 4,250 kg. The measure aims to facilitate the use of heavier electric vehicles and light motorhomes. The Netherlands already implemented the new limit in 2025; other EU member states must transpose the directive by 2030.
A motorhome stuck on a wooden boardwalk in the Grolloërveen nature reserve (Netherlands) has prompted around 80 tips from the public. Rescuers have devised a plan to use track mats and a winch for recovery, avoiding heavy machinery to protect the fragile ecosystem.
A motorhome that sank through a wooden walkway (vlonderpad) last week in the Grolloërveen nature reserve in the province of Drenthe will remain there for now. A safe removal method has not yet been found. The incident occurred Thursday evening when the driver took a wrong turn onto the walkway, designed only for hikers and cyclists. The wooden planks broke under the vehicle's weight. According to the forester, the campers were fined for driving on a prohibited path. The location complicates recovery: the reserve is a fragile protected peatland area, and heavy equipment cannot enter without precautions.
