The new EU directive permitting B-licence driving of motorhomes up to 4,250 kg officially enters into force on November 26, 2025. Member states have until November 26, 2029, to implement the rules into national law. Norway is currently reviewing the directive through the EEA process to ensure alignment with European regulations. The change requires a specific code (96.02), which may involve a one-day course or a test depending on national implementation.

A motorhome ran off the road and overturned on its side on Storfjordvegen, near the intersection with Bygdevegen. According to operations leader Espen Andrésen, there are traffic difficulties at the scene, as heavy transport cannot pass the motorhome blocking part of the road. Smaller vehicles can pass. A tow truck is on the way, and a police patrol is directing traffic in the meantime. No injuries are apparent, and there is no suspicion of intoxication, Andrésen said.

Three motorhome owners living near Klauvaneset in Bergen have criticized the municipality's parking restrictions, which they say stem from a single neighbor's complaint. They argue the area is used by many groups, including anglers and travelers in regular cars, and that motorhomes are not the main source of litter. Dag Bjørnar Mjelde, head of Tellevik coastal fort, also noted that vandalism has decreased since more motorhomes arrived. The residents suggest providing toilets and waste bins instead of restrictions, some of which have been eased, but the recommendation to impose restrictions on the area managed by the road authority remains.
