Ahead of the summer season, Dutch authorities remind about parking rules for caravans and motorhomes. In most municipalities, such vehicles can be left on a public road or parking lot for no more than three consecutive days, for example, for loading and unloading.
Violators face a fine: according to some sources, from 90 to 120 euros plus administrative costs, according to others, 129 euros. In case of a repeat offense, the vehicle may be towed at the owner's expense. Rules vary by municipality: parking may be prohibited within city limits for vehicles longer than 6 meters.

Key issues include multi-year waiting lists for winter storage due to a record number of registered vehicles, bans on older diesel motorhomes entering urban zero-emission zones, and hidden ownership costs that significantly increase the total expense.
On Thursday afternoon, a camper van went off the road on Provincialeweg in Hoorn and crashed through a noise barrier. The driver was injured and taken to hospital by ambulance. The accident occurred around 3:10 PM near Spaarneweg. For unknown reasons, the driver lost control: first hitting a traffic sign, then a guardrail, driving through bushes, and finally crashing through the noise barrier on the other side of the road. The road was temporarily closed between Oostergouw and Rijnweg. The cause is under investigation.

According to calculations, owning a motorhome costs an average of 9,000 euros per year, excluding depreciation. This includes vehicle tax, insurance, maintenance, storage, and fuel. For example, for a 2019 diesel motorhome weighing 2,780 kg and valued at 50,000 euros, used 7 months a year, the annual tax amounts to 1,262 euros. The average price of a new motorhome exceeds 70,000 euros, while a used one ranges from 15,000 to 30,000 euros.
On Monday afternoon, a caravan that detached from its towing vehicle on a bend ended up in a ditch along Kerkweg in Lekkerkerk, near hotel-restaurant De Witte Brug. A small recovery vehicle and a truck from a contracting company were used to pull the caravan out of the water, a process that took about two hours. No injuries were reported, and the exact cause remains unknown.
