In China, car camping cut hotel revenue by 8.2%. Also: the Nissan Interstar-e Relax electric camper at €89,900 and an overnight ban in Llandudno.
Two years on the road with a cat named Zhuzu — and not a single day of wanting to go back. We break down life in a camper van: where to find water, how heating works, what to do about electricity, and where to look for overnight spots. 7 countries, hundreds of places, and an honest account — from the mountain roads of Turkey to the coastline of Montenegro.
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.
In Catz (Manche), Valérie Terrier and Jérôme Cauchard have opened a six-space motorhome stopover on their property. The site is equipped with water, electricity, and waste disposal, and offers pond fishing and cycling routes. Owners report an increase in local visitors, attributing it to international tensions.
A family from Normandy, consisting of Mathilde Morin (37), her partner Wandrille, and their three daughters, is traveling through Brittany in a rented motorhome. They stopped for a picnic on the banks of the Aulne river in Châteaulin. This is their second experience with a motorhome, which they rented specifically for the trip. The route includes visits to the Pink Granite Coast, Le Conquet, Douarnenez, and Concarneau.
A motorhome parking area has been opened on the grounds of a private manor in the commune of Ancteville, Manche department. The site offers 10 spaces with electricity, water supply, and a sanitary block, operating from April to October at a cost of 12 euros per day.
On Tuesday, August 4, a new motorhome service area opened in Saint-James, Normandy, on Rue du Presbytère near the church. The facility has four pitches, is open 24/7, and payments are made via an integrated card terminal. It offers free grey water disposal, black water disposal and 100 liters of drinking water for €2, electricity at €1 per hour, and toilets on site. The aim is to improve tourist services and boost local trade.
Michel, a French motorhome enthusiast, received a letter from an Italian motorway company demanding €119.36 for a toll he claims he paid during a 2020 trip. He refuses to pay, stating he paid €80.50 at the exit in Genoa and has provided bank statements as evidence. The case highlights the need to keep all payment receipts when traveling abroad, as rules vary by country.
On the evening of August 9, around 15 caravans and vehicles entered a plot in Sainte-Euphémie, Ain, without permission, despite the mayor's refusal. The municipality had placed two concrete blocks in front of the gate, but they were moved. Mayor Emmanuel Geniquet filed a complaint after travelers used water from a fire hydrant and is asking police to intervene.
French engineer Rémi Boucly (35) spent eight months converting a used Renault Trafic into a motorhome. The project cost €20,000, including the vehicle itself. The van features a pull-out bench, a kitchen unit with a movable shower hose, a refrigerator, and solar panels. Before the conversion, Rémi had to remove leftover tile adhesive, and in France, such conversions require a special VASP approval.
In Bressey-sur-Tille, a group of travelers set up about sixty caravans on the football field after crossing a cultivated field. The municipality called this "simply unacceptable" and plans to secure the elementary school's electricity meter to prevent future illegal installations. The group, reportedly evangelists, is expected to leave the commune on Sunday, August 16, to join a national gathering in Verdun.
In France, leaving the engine running to power the air conditioning in a stationary motorhome is prohibited under Article R. 318-1 of the Highway Code. Violators face a fine of €135 (reduced to €90 if paid promptly, increased to €375, and up to €750 in court). Exceptions apply only to certain priority vehicles. However, using a roof or boot air conditioner powered by the vehicle's battery or a campsite outlet is allowed, though noise restrictions may apply. Mobile air conditioners connected to a generator may be banned by campsite rules.
