Breezecation: Seven Destinations for Motorhome Travel in Search of Cool Air
Original source: Travelnostop

Camper rental platform CamperDays has identified seven locations in Italy and abroad where constant breezes and fresh air help cope with summer heat. These include Campo Imperatore in Abruzzo, Porto Pollo in Sardinia, Monte Faito in Campania, Passo dello Stelvio in Lombardy, the Verdon Gorge in France, Wellington in New Zealand, and San Carlos de Bariloche in Argentina. The breezecation trend involves choosing a holiday destination based on climate and wind rather than just scenery or landmarks.

Camper and vanlife boom in Italy: record registrations and young people choose freedom on wheels

In 2025, new camper registrations in Italy increased by 10.56% year-on-year to 7,936 units, far outpacing the European average growth of 0.6%. The used market also rose by 6.05%, with total transactions exceeding 44,000. The sector is valued at €8.5 billion, and the Ministry of Tourism has allocated over €25 million to create and upgrade parking areas in 170 municipalities, adding more than 4,400 new pitches. Over 50% of new camper-sharing users are aged 25–34, preferring compact vans. Despite the boom, free camping remains restricted in Italy: overnight parking is not allowed everywhere, and setting up an awning or chairs can result in fines.

Interview with Cristiano Fabris: life in a motorhome as an alternative to routine

Cristiano Fabris, a journalist, lives and works in a motorhome, traveling across Italy. He notes that this lifestyle offers freedom in choosing work and stopping places, but faces misunderstanding in Italy, where motorhome parking is regulated by Article 185 of the Highway Code. Fabris recommends national parks and southern regions for summer holidays, avoiding mass tourism.

Italian rider completes 4,500 km trip on 3D-printed Piaggio Ape camper

Francesco Furlani has completed a journey of over 4,500 km from Italy to Nordkapp, Norway, in a three-wheeled Piaggio Ape TM 703 fitted with a camper body made entirely through large-format 3D printing. The shell weighs about 70 kg, compared with roughly 200 kg for a fiberglass equivalent, a 130 kg difference that was critical for the vehicle's payload. The CoreLight3D foam material, developed by Nugae, and engineering by DCab enabled a weatherproof and rigid structure despite reduced material volume.
