New EU rules and Dutch toll: motorhomes get pricier but exempt from truck levy
Original source: Panorama

In Brief

From July 1, 2026, updated EU regulation (GSR II) will increase new motorhome prices by 1,000–3,000 euros, while the Netherlands introduces a kilometer-based truck toll from which properly registered campers are exempt.

From July 1, 2026, the updated EU regulation (GSR II) comes into force, requiring new motorhomes to be equipped with active safety systems. Estimates indicate that for large integrated models, this will lead to a price increase of 1,000–3,000 euros. Additionally, self-conversions of vans registered after July 7 may need to meet new software requirements, risking road access denial.

At the same time, the Netherlands introduces a truck toll from July 1, 2026, for vehicles of categories N2 and N3 (over 3,500 kg) per kilometer on most highways and some other roads. Campers registered as "Kampeerwagen (SA)" are exempt from this toll, regardless of actual weight. Owners are advised to verify registration via RDW, especially for self-built, converted, or imported vehicles. Foreign owners must apply for exemption in advance through the official portal, selecting the category "Ander voertuig".

Dutch motorhome road tax to double from 2026

Starting in 2026, the Netherlands will abolish the preferential road tax rate for privately owned motorhomes. Owners will pay half the standard rate instead of a quarter, effectively doubling monthly costs. Owners can temporarily reduce expenses by suspending the vehicle's registration or checking payment dates, as the increase applies from the start of the next full payment period in 2026.

The 3-3-3 rule for slow travel in motorhomes

The 3-3-3 rule, promoted as a camping trend for summer 2026, limits daily driving to 300 km, arrival by 3:00 PM, and a minimum stay of three nights per site. Adapted from the US version (300 miles), it aims to reduce driving stress and campsite booking pressure. In Italy, the rule suits mountainous roads and traffic, allowing travelers to explore regions more thoroughly.

De Wild to host Radio 2 morning and afternoon shows from camper again

Ruud de Wild will swap the NPO Radio 2 studio for a camper from July 27 for a week during 'Ruud du Soleil'.

Live broadcasts will air from French campsites and historic locations, also on NPO 1 Extra. The project marks the transition between the old and new morning shows: Jan-Willem Roodbeen and Jeroen Kijk in de Vegte leave on July 31, replaced by Daniël Lippens and Roelof de Vries from August 3.
