TV host Stefan Mross used a break in filming of the show "Immer wieder sonntags" to travel to Spain, where he observed the total solar eclipse on August 12. He is traveling in a Morelo Grand Empire 100 GO 2024 motorhome based on a Mercedes-Benz Actros 1853 L with a turbo diesel engine producing 390 kW (530 hp). The 10.45-meter-long, 2.55-meter-wide, and 3.86-meter-high vehicle features two sleeping places, a separate shower and toilet, a 196-liter refrigerator, and a 410-liter water tank. The show "Immer wieder sonntags" will not air on August 16 due to sports broadcasts but will return on August 23; after the current season, the program will be discontinued.

DGT clarifies difference between parking and camping for motorhomes

Spain's DGT has issued new instruction PROT 2026/04, replacing the 2023 rules and clarifying when a motorhome is considered parked versus camping. Parking is allowed only on wheels, without deployed elements or external activity; otherwise, it is classified as camping, which can lead to fines, especially in coastal areas. Sleeping in a motorhome is permitted only if all parking conditions are met, while on beaches it is prohibited without specific authorization.

Spain's motorhome boom clashes with infrastructure gaps and municipal rules

Spain's motorhome and campervan fleet has tripled in a decade, from 48,000 registered vehicles in 2015 to about 137,000 now. Experts estimate a shortage of around 2,000 dedicated service and parking areas nationwide, especially along the coast. The DGT instruction PROT 2026/04 upholds municipal powers to restrict parking, while overnight stays outside designated zones remain prohibited.
