The Canary Islands close down free camping and cap overnight stays at 72 hours. Also: campers from ten brands recalled over the ISOFIX mounting.
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.
On the TV program 'L’instant escapade', Cyril, a consultant at Onlydrive Escapade, a leisure vehicle rental specialist, presented the advantages of traveling in a camper van. Key points include the ability to change locations at will and choose stops based on scenery, tranquility, and personal hobbies. Vanlife is described as a different way to travel, living in a 'house on four wheels' for short or long periods. It is emphasized that this lifestyle is not about age but a philosophy.

About 1.5 million people spend their holidays in motorhomes. Renting from private owners is growing, e.g. Marion Vouaret rents out her camper and created the Wikicampers app used by over 500,000 travellers.

On April 30, RMC Story airs episode 13 of the camper van series. TF1+ also featured four families, including a honeymoon in Iceland.
Since the start of 2025, the Swiss canton of Geneva has been calculating vehicle tax for camper vans and motorhomes based on weight. Owners of a two-tonne camper van pay about €150 per year, while four-tonne integral motorhomes can incur up to €700. The measure does not apply to vehicles registered in France. A petition proposing a €1,000 annual tax on motorhomes in France has gathered only 25 signatures.
In November 2025, a couple's motorhome was deliberately set on fire outside their home in Saint-Malo, Ille-et-Vilaine. The vehicle was completely destroyed, and the house suffered smoke and heat damage, forcing the couple to live in a neighbor's home, then in a motorhome lent by their son, and later in a replacement motorhome purchased by their insurance. The suspect's trial, scheduled for September 3, 2026, was postponed because his lawyer was hospitalized and the defendant has psychiatric issues. The new hearing is set for May 27, 2027. The couple hopes to return home by Christmas, but electrical and heating repairs are still pending.
The second edition of the 'Sur la Route' festival will take place from September 11 to 13 at the municipal campsite of Rouvran in Le Tour-du-Parc. The event combines concerts and the vanlife scene. The lineup includes Vanupié, The Sunuizors, Radio Byzance, Ben Armessen, Archimède, La Cafetera Roja, Mary May & Balaphonics, La Charcuterie Musicale, Le Mange Bal, and Saïra. The Expo Vanlife village will feature artisans, converters, major van brands, and equipment suppliers. A food area and a bivouac space facing the ocean will be available.
The motorhome and camper van festival opened in Carhaix on September 4 and runs until September 7. Visitors are split between those seeking more spacious and comfortable models and those considering compact vans for their lower cost and ease of use as daily vehicles. Around 150 models are on display.
From September 10 to 13, 2026, the Parc des Expositions in Chalon-sur-Saône (1 Rue d'Amsterdam) will host the first edition of En Route ! Chalon Camping-Car, an event dedicated to leisure vehicles and outdoor activities. More than 85 motorhomes, campervans, and vans will be on display, along with advice on vehicle selection, financing, and personalized support. Opening hours are from 10:00 to 19:00 non-stop, parking is free, and a food truck will be available on site.
Camping-Car Magazine has published the list of the five motorhome stopovers that attracted the most reader attention in August. The selection includes free rural sites and newly opened facilities. Among them are a free municipal site in Bénévent-l'Abbaye (Creuse), a 44-pitch riverside site in Saint-Jean-sur-Mayenne (€14.50 per night), a new shaded site in Dompierre-sur-Mer (€15.50 per night in season), a site in the abbey park of Gruchet-le-Valasse, and a four-pitch farm site in Moulin de Pierremont (€15 per night).
