Camper Van Tourism Is Booming in Croatia

An RV PRO article offers recommendations for designing a dealership showroom that attracts customers and makes the visit memorable. The focus is on creating a focal point using bright lighting, color accents (especially yellow-green), and seasonal updates. Examples include a successful display at Curtis Trailers in Portland, Oregon.

The article explains why RVs and travel trailers frequently get stuck on soft gravel pads in campgrounds, especially after rain. Key causes include dual rear wheels concentrating weight and highway-rated tires lacking off-road grip. Tow truck calls for RVs in 2025-2026 averaged $400 to $1,200, with many national park and Forest Service campgrounds inaccessible to standard wreckers. An emergency traction kit (a steel claw that straps to the drive wheel) is recommended, rated for vehicles under 30,000 lbs GVW.

A camper fire in Palmetto, Florida, on May 6, 2026, claimed the life of an elderly man who tried to extinguish the blaze himself. Firefighters arrived minutes later but could not save him.

Located in southern Pag near Povljana, the five-star Aminess Style Camping Avalona Resort has opened. It offers pitches for tents and motorhomes, mobile homes, and glamping villas, plus a water park with five slides, pools, a spa, restaurants, and entertainment. The resort sits on a peninsula with zoned beaches, including a dog area. It is the first five-star campsite on Pag, designed for family holidays with comfort.

The article suggests itineraries for a motorhome trip along the Croatian coast, including the islands of Krk, Pag, and Mljet. It describes campsites, cycling routes, and boating opportunities. Since January 2023, Croatia is part of the Schengen Area and uses the euro.
