Growth of Open-Air Tourism in Italy: Families, Comfort, and International Travelers

Former Apple and Tesla engineers have developed the fully electric Pebble Flow caravan. It features solar panels, a large battery, and remote control capability.

An InsideEVs journalist tested the Pebble Flow electric travel trailer, developed by former Tesla and Apple employees. The model features electric wheel drive, self-parking, and iPad control. The Founder's Edition costs $179,000, with a base model expected in late 2026 for $113,500.

A magistrate in Ravenna annulled two fines totaling about €300 issued to a Romani woman for parking her caravan at Piazza Ravaioli in Classe. The judge ruled that parking a camper is not camping if the vehicle does not rest on the ground, produce waste, or exceed its footprint.

The municipality of Vicenza has stopped selling seasonal passes for motorhomes at the Cricoli and Park Stadio parking lots. The change took effect on January 1, 2026. Motorhome owners can now only pay by the hour or day. The decision aims to regulate parking use and prevent long-term occupation of spaces.

A fire broke out in an abandoned motorhome in Cascina, Italy, which had been previously reported by residents. Mayoral candidate Dario Rollo stated that the incident could have been prevented if authorities had responded promptly to complaints about the abandoned vehicle.

Motorhome driver Michel Letraveler received a letter from Italian debt collection agency Nivi S.P.A. demanding 119.36 euros for an allegedly unpaid toll from September 2020. He claims he paid the toll on the spot and provided bank statements as proof. Under Italian law, highway concessionaires can claim payment within ten years, leading to widespread retrospective demands.
