New rules for motorhomes in Tandil: ban on overnight parking and waste dumping

Journalist Ju Young Lee, along with her husband and two children, spent two years traveling Latin America in a motorhome. Due to the pandemic, the family abandoned the vehicle in Panama and returned to Korea, finally moving to Argentina in 2023, where she created Makaku, a space recreating Korean thermal rituals.

From 1969 to 1980, Argentina produced the La Boyita amphibious camper, capable of traveling on land and water. Designed by engineer Jorge Berichit, it weighed 350 kg and could be equipped with a 5–15 hp outboard motor.

The City Council of El Bolsón (Argentina) will consider a new initiative allowing motorhome parking in the center for up to 4 hours, but banning overnight stays. Fines for violations will be increased.

After almost 70 years, Bürstner has stopped making caravans — and nobody was particularly surprised once sales had fallen by a third. Sweden registered 62% more motorhomes and is preparing to let them drive faster. Chet Hanks moved into a retirees' trailer park in Nashville — for the country music career, not the savings. Plus a Korean workation site for 100 motorhomes, an unmanned trailer hotel on Hokkaido, and a gyrocopter pilot who landed on a highway and clipped an oncoming motorhome — all in this issue.

The article lists seven inexpensive accessories that simplify dishwashing in the confined space of a motorhome or camper van. These include: a universal silicone sink plug (€3.95), a collapsible soaking container (from €18), a barbecue brush (€9.95), solid dish soap tablets (€23.14), a bamboo brush with replacement heads (€15.99), a silicone drying mat (from €10.99), and a drain filter (€5.99 for two). A sink insert (€60–€85) is also mentioned, which can serve as a second basin. All items are available from specialized online retailers or Amazon.

Bürstner has halted caravan production as demand fell 13%. Poland is proposing to scrap road tolls for campervans, while Liguria counts the cost of 8,000 motorhomes descending on the region. Tom Hanks' son has swapped Hollywood for a trailer in pursuit of a music career, and a French couple has driven 100,000 km from the North Cape to Senegal — and that's not even the whole story. All this in this issue.
