Renting a motorhome: hidden costs often overlooked
Original source: Autobahn

Renting a motorhome can lead to unexpected expenses. The Dutch Caravan Club (NKC) warns that advertised prices often exclude deductibles, deposits, mileage limits, and extra equipment. The average deductible is around €1,000, and exceeding a weekly limit of 1,500–1,750 km costs €0.25–0.35 per extra kilometer. Renters must also consider overnight parking rules, daily maintenance of water and electrical systems, and the challenges of driving a large vehicle.

The 3-3-3 rule for slow travel in motorhomes

The 3-3-3 rule, promoted as a camping trend for summer 2026, limits daily driving to 300 km, arrival by 3:00 PM, and a minimum stay of three nights per site. Adapted from the US version (300 miles), it aims to reduce driving stress and campsite booking pressure. In Italy, the rule suits mountainous roads and traffic, allowing travelers to explore regions more thoroughly.

De Wild to host Radio 2 morning and afternoon shows from camper again

Ruud de Wild will swap the NPO Radio 2 studio for a camper from July 27 for a week during 'Ruud du Soleil'. He will present both his own afternoon show and the morning show while traveling with his team towards southern France. Live broadcasts will air from French campsites and historic locations, also on NPO 1 Extra. The project marks the transition between the old and new morning shows: Jan-Willem Roodbeen and Jeroen Kijk in de Vegte leave on July 31, replaced by Daniël Lippens and Roelof de Vries from August 3.
