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.
Authorities in South Tyrol have prohibited wild camping and bivouacking for motorhomes and caravans. A new model ordinance, introduced by the municipal association and the tourism department, strictly regulates overnight stays outside official sites. Violators face fines, with increased patrols by the forest service in protected natural areas.
Several municipalities in South Tyrol are implementing bans on overnight stays in vehicles on public parking lots. Authorities cite issues with litter and sanitation, while camper associations are challenging these measures in court as discriminatory. For instance, Wolkenstein has seen a decrease in campers since its ban, and Lake Kalter plans to introduce a ban with vehicle towing.
The Italian province of Trentino is introducing new parking restrictions for motorhomes and camper vans on Dolomite mountain passes. From 2026, parking along the Sella and Pordoi passes will be limited to short stays with parking discs or tickets to curb illegal camping and mass tourism. The move follows summer 2025 data showing over half of parking spots on some sections were occupied overnight.
A resident of Cagliari reported an illegal motorhome encampment on Poetto beach, with dozens of vehicles parked without authorization for days and waste being discharged into the pine forest. According to the report, local police confirmed the area is not a designated parking or stopping zone, but no action has been taken, while car drivers are fined for similar violations nearby.
Musician Jonas Holland, known as After Cooking, recorded a techno track using only industrial sounds from the Etrusco motorhome production plant in San Casciano, Tuscany. He captured noises from drills, sanders, and other machinery, assembling them into a rhythmic piece without synthetic sounds. The YouTube video received positive feedback, with some viewers calling it the best advertisement for the brand.
Italian publication Dronezine notes that many motorhome owners also use drones to film their travels. Since December 2019, liability insurance for drones has been mandatory in Italy, even for models under 250 grams, except for toys without cameras. Pilots must register on the D-flight portal and comply with UAS zone restrictions (no-fly zones near airports, prisons, crowded places). Drone insurance from Dronezine starts at €24.90 per year.
Park rangers and forestry officers evicted an illegally parked motorhome from the Molentargius wetland park in Quartu. The occupants had set up camp near the Via Don Giordi entrance, hanging laundry and placing tables and chairs. The violation was reported by park visitors. Similar incidents have occurred before, both in the park and along the coast, where motorhomes and tents occupy public spaces without authorisation.
Lago di Garda Camping, a network of 20 campsites and holiday villages around Lake Garda, positions outdoor holidays as a conscious choice combining deceleration, nature experience and sustainability. The network offers glamping tents, designer mobile homes and VIP pitches, and implements solar panels, water-saving technologies and waste separation. Some campsites, such as Fornella Camping & Wellness Family Resort and Camping Bergamini, have obtained sustainability certifications and awards, including the ADAC sustainability prize.
The municipality of Cortina d'Ampezzo announced stricter measures against illegal camping after another incident of degradation caused by a van parked in the city. The council reports litter, sewage, and irregular parking, but also highlights the limitations of current regulations, which make it difficult to fine motorhomes when they are simply parked. In the coming days, checks will be intensified with the support of the provincial police, especially on the Dolomite passes.
