The article lists five vanlife behaviors that cause conflicts with local residents in tourist regions. These include camping in prohibited areas, dumping gray and black water in inappropriate places, running the engine or generator all night, occupying spaces not intended for camping, and sharing exact coordinates of quiet spots on social media. Repeated hundreds of times each summer, these actions lead to access closures and strained relations with year-round residents.

John Petrie, owner of Niagara Trailers, has been named RV Dealer of the Year by the Ontario RV Dealers Association. The award recognizes leadership, industry contributions, community involvement, and commitment to customers and employees. Petrie was selected from four nominees. Under his leadership, Niagara Trailers has been Canada's No. 1 KZ dealer for 10 consecutive years and North America's No. 1 KZ dealer three times in the past decade. The family business, founded over 50 years ago, will celebrate its 55th anniversary next year.

The rebuilt campground at By-Mac Park opened on August 24, 2026, in Houston, British Columbia. The site now features 24 RV sites with electrical and water hookups, a wash house, and a new boat launch. The project, costing approximately $2 million, aims to boost tourism and diversify the local economy following the closure of Canfor's sawmill, which resulted in a loss of $1.2 million in annual tax revenue.

Organizers say Salt Spring's first purpose-built permanent recreational vehicle (RV) community is coming to Beddis Road, with plans for as many as 50 pads. The project, which could be completed in 12 months, would be the first of its kind in British Columbia, offering year-round affordable housing. Rents are projected at $850–900 per month, and Lookout Housing and Health Society will operate the property.
