On 27 July Germany checks motorhomes and trailers on the A31 and A30. Also: a diesel tax in Finland has left motorhomes parked up for most of the year.
Two years on the road with a cat named Zhuzu — and not a single day of wanting to go back. We break down life in a camper van: where to find water, how heating works, what to do about electricity, and where to look for overnight spots. 7 countries, hundreds of places, and an honest account — from the mountain roads of Turkey to the coastline of Montenegro.
Comprehensive review of all RV and camper toilet types: cassette, portable, gravity, vacuum, macerating, dry flush, sealing, incinerating, composting and separating. Comparison of models, consumables, installation and annual costs.
Buying a motorhome is only justified with frequent use. Renting is cheaper but requires accounting for additional fees: deposit up to 3000 euros, insurance, parking.
Motorhome drivers crossing the Brenner Pass into Italy face significant fines due to a new lane control system on a specific section of the route. Ignorance of the change can lead to heavy financial losses.
Renting a motorhome for six nights costs from 445 euros (basic model) to 1353 euros (premium class). Additional costs: security deposit up to 3000 euros and campsite fees from 20 to 50 euros per night.
Residents of Turin reported the prolonged presence of motorhomes, caravans, and vans on Corso Brunelleschi, near the Mercatò supermarket. They cite safety concerns: abandoned waste, use of public fountains for washing, and belongings left near a playground. District 3 councilor Stefano Bolognesi said structural solutions are needed, not just moving people. Authorities note the same families cyclically move between the San Paolo and Pozzo Strada neighborhoods.
The municipality of Fiumicino has taped over the rates for motorhomes and private buses on paid parking signs. The move follows resident complaints about the lack of adequately sized parking spaces for such vehicles. New blue zones are being introduced on several streets, including seafronts, but no dedicated spots for motorhomes and buses have been allocated yet.
In Camerano, on Via Fornaci, a parked camper caught fire on the afternoon of July 19, 2026. Firefighters from Ancona quickly contained the blaze, preventing it from spreading to nearby buildings, but the camper and two adjacent vehicles were completely destroyed.
The municipality of Bagnasco (Piedmont) has awarded a contract to install a video surveillance system and provide furnishings for the new equipped motorhome stopover in the Case Sparse Centasco area. The cost of the work is €4,239.50, which allowed the administration to bypass mandatory public procurement procedures. Total investment in the creation of the stopover reached €82,000, of which €57,000 came from the Piedmont region and €25,000 from the municipal budget.
Early on July 19, a 55-year-old Italian man was found unconscious next to a camper on the unparked lot of Viale Tritone in Pinarella, opposite Parco Cinque Pini and the Rock Planet nightclub. He suffered severe head and chest trauma consistent with an assault and was rushed to the Bufalini hospital in Cesena, where he remains in intensive care in critical condition. Carabinieri are reviewing CCTV footage and focusing on a group of five to six people seen near the parking lot around the time of the attack.
Italian manufacturer Atlantis has introduced the Carbon 4x4, switching from a front-wheel-drive Fiat Ducato to a four-wheel-drive Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. The new model weighs 600 kg more than the road-going Carbon 695, as the carbon monocoque now serves as the base for a heavier expedition vehicle. Dimensions are 6750 mm in length and 2150 mm in width, with a gross vehicle weight of 4100 kg. The motorhome features a new seamless living capsule with a 10-year warranty. Pre-orders are open, but price and curb weight remain undisclosed. The public debut will be at the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf from August 28 to September 6, 2026.
