Statement by TÜMEVSİAD President on Draft Law for Hobby Gardens

European motorhome manufacturer Concorde Reisemobile has entered the Turkish market through distributor Ideal Caravan. The brand's models will soon be displayed in showrooms, and the company has begun accepting custom orders from local customers.

Authorities in the Turkish town of Didim have begun notifying tent and caravan owners of a ban on overnight stays in public areas. The ban, which took effect on April 1, 2026, covers coastlines, parks, forested areas, and roadsides. Cited reasons include waste disposal issues, risk of infectious diseases, fire hazards, and disruption of public order. Violators will face administrative fines.

Kocaeli Metropolitan Municipality removed caravans that had occupied the parking lot at the Healthy Life Park in Derince for months. Owners were given until April 1st to leave, after which non-compliant vehicles were towed to an impound lot. The parking area has returned to its primary function, resolving the issue for local residents.

The Turkish couple Burçin and Erdi, known as Trail of Us, left their corporate careers in Istanbul in 2018 to travel in a caravan. In early 2026, they halted production of their brand Ontrail due to rising costs and hit the road again in a new model named Crema, tailored to their current life stage.

A Turkish company is converting decommissioned buses into motorhomes. The process involves a complete interior refurbishment, including the installation of sleeping areas, a kitchen, and a bathroom.

European tourists are increasingly using caravans to travel across Turkey. This form of tourism allows for independent route planning and visits to the country's remote regions.
