From October Spain bans blocking motorhome parking, but the Canaries tighten site rules. Also: Honda Trail Master and Turkey's caravan boom.
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.
In Spain, the Civil Guard attempted to fine a woman living in a camper van, claiming that long-term parking equates to camping. However, according to DGT instruction PROT 2023/14, parking is not considered camping if the vehicle does not use stabilizers, does not occupy extra space, and does not discharge fluids. The patrol's sole argument was the duration of stay—over a month and a half—which is not addressed in the regulations.

In 10 years, Spain's motorhome fleet grew 185% to nearly 137,000, but infrastructure lags. Authorities tighten rules: fines up to 3000 euros for illegal camping, especially in natural parks.
Temporary workers in San Pedro Alcántara are sleeping in motorhomes because they cannot afford housing. At least seven vehicles are parked in the Fuentenueva residential area. Councillor Manuel Osorio said the housing crisis forces workers to use these vehicles. A proposal to equip motorhome parking areas with water and sewage connections was rejected by PP and Vox. Over the past 20 years, Marbella has built about 200 social housing units, while around 3,000 residents are on the waiting list.
In the Montaña Arena area on the southern coast of Gran Canaria, visitors have set up camp in motorhomes, caravans, and camper vans to cope with the heatwave. They rely on fans, ice, and portable showers. Some, like Alfonso Umpiérrez, have converted a refrigerated van into a mobile home, while others, like Iván Santana, bring water for showers. José Sánchez sells bread, ice, and ice cream to the campers. A couple from Cádiz says the local heat is more bearable due to the breeze.
The Antinuclear and Ecologist Committee of Salamanca has reported the accumulation of rubbish at a parking area by the Zurguén stream, often used by motorhome owners. The group attributes the problem to insufficient municipal cleaning and maintenance, noting that waste ends up in the stream. It calls for regular cleaning, waste bins, and a public toilet.
A fire broke out early Thursday inside a motorhome on Avenida de Astilleros in Cádiz. Seven firefighters with two vehicles responded from the Cádiz station at 3:44 a.m., extinguishing the blaze and preventing its spread. No injuries were reported; the cause of the fire is under investigation.
National Police are searching for the driver of a van who fled after hitting a parked motorhome in Escaleritas, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The accident occurred around 1:45 a.m. on July 27 on Calle Marín y Cubas in the Las Chumberas area. The motorhome was unoccupied, so no injuries were reported, but it sustained significant damage. Witnesses described the van as a gray Renault Kangoo with a greenish tint. Debris including a mirror, headlights, and a Renault emblem was found at the scene. Police are seeking a vehicle with partial plate 7509 and visible front or right-side damage.
