Two years on the road with a cat named Zhuzu — and not a single day of wanting to go back.

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.
Vanlife specialist Vanovia presented five practical tests to evaluate a camper before purchase. The tests include cooking a full dinner, repeatedly setting up the bed, spending a rainy day inside, working with a laptop, and checking real storage space. Renting a similar model for several days is recommended to identify limitations not noticeable at the dealership.
A journalist who has purchased three used motorhomes argues that the vehicle's history and previous owners' care are more telling than mileage. He advises asking the seller about travel routes, annual usage, storage conditions, and repairs, and inspecting hidden areas (cabinets, under mattresses) for real wear. In his experience, a high-mileage motorhome that was regularly used and maintained can be in better condition than a nearly new one that sat idle for long periods.

A FEVE train struck a motorhome at a level crossing in Bustio on August 20, 2026. No injuries reported; both vehicles and infrastructure damaged. ADIF's project to remove crossings awaits expropriation.
Spain's Supreme Court ruled in 2024 that mobile homes and prefabricated houses are akin to prefabricated houses and require an urban planning license for land use. The ruling came after Agrocamping S.L. challenged a decision by the Tarragona city council denying the legalization of mobile homes in a campsite. The court stated that an activity license does not cover urban planning control, and environmental protection and the urban environment justify the refusal. It also clarified that such homes cannot be treated as trailers because their primary purpose is residence, not towing.
Residents of the municipality of Valdoviño in Galicia have complained about the behavior of tourists staying overnight in motorhomes near beaches. They point out that these vehicles take up a lot of space on roads, hindering access for locals, including those with reduced mobility. There have also been reports of human feces found near the river that flows into the beach. Every summer, thousands of tourists visit the area's beaches in motorhomes, and locals regularly voice complaints about such incidents.
