The caravanning sector in Spain recorded peak activity during Easter week, with over 100,000 motorhomes, caravans, and campers carrying approximately 300,000 people on the roads. The average trip distance has decreased to 200–400 km due to rising fuel costs, while three used motorhomes are sold for every new one.

Buying three used motorhomes: the detail that reveals more than the odometer

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.

Actress Min Ji-young visits ER during camper van trip in Spain

She delayed seeking medical care for three weeks, assuming insurance issues, but finally went to the hospital due to persistent swelling. Tests revealed joint inflammation, not a fracture. Doctors advised five weeks of rest, but she stopped traveling for three months. The hospital bill exceeded 600,000 won; travel insurance reimbursed about 400,000 won.

Larraitz sets fee for motorhome overnight parking: €5 per night

A new motorhome service area with electricity, grey/black water disposal and fresh water refill has opened in Larraitz, at the entrance to the Aralar natural park. From September, overnight parking (10 pm–6 am) will cost €5; currently only services are charged: water disposal/refill €5, 24‑hour electricity €6. The €2 million project (10% from the municipality, the rest from EU Next Generation funds) aims to regulate existing wild camping, not to attract more tourists.
