Cologne cabaret artist Bernd Stelter releases his fifth Holland crime novel, 'The Cold Hand of the Camping Killer', on August 3. The plot is based on a real conflict: developers are buying up campsites in Zeeland to build luxury chalets, driving away long-term campers. Detective Piet van Houvencamp investigates the death of a Belgian real estate agent found on the beach.

BOVAG urges caravan and camper repair shops to report incorrect standard repair times

BOVAG reports that when calculating repair costs for caravans and campers via FiCS Online and Dispatch, a standard repair time is automatically generated. Repair shops spend significant time sourcing and ordering parts. If the actual time differs from the standard, BOVAG recommends submitting a Procar report. A survey found that three-quarters of shops rarely or never do so. Submitting a report helps adjust the standard times and ensures fair compensation.

Due to tree frog and regulations: campsite nearly empty in high season

The 'De Meidoorn' campsite in Sluis, Zeeland, is nearly empty during peak season. Owner 'InLeisure' plans to replace permanent pitches with 105 chalets, but implementation is delayed due to nature conservation issues (protected tree frog population) and archaeological restrictions. Only about 23 permanent guests with unsold caravans, some tents, and a few transit campers remain. The company states that tourist rental is more profitable than long-term pitches.

Care home residents in Aalten hold mini Zwarte Cross festival on site

In Aalten, Netherlands, a group of friends from Bredevoort lent their caravan to residents of the Estinea care home so they could experience the Zwarte Cross festival atmosphere without leaving the premises. The event took place on a lawn in front of the building and included a barbecue, music, and overnight stays in the caravan or a tent. According to organizers, residents with intellectual disabilities and complex care needs could not attend the festival themselves, so they decided to bring the festival to them. The caravan was borrowed for the weekend, and participants reportedly enjoyed themselves greatly despite little sleep.

Wildfire damage to caravans and campers: will you get compensation?

Due to large wildfires in Southern Europe, which have led to the evacuation of about 200,000 people, owners of caravans and campers may receive compensation for damage only if they have the appropriate insurance. Caravan damage is covered by a caravan insurance policy if taken out; for a camper, mandatory insurance covers damage depending on the policy. Tents are usually covered under the baggage section of travel insurance. Evacuation and alternative accommodation are covered by travel insurance, but voluntary early return is not reimbursed.
