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.
From 25 to 28 June 2026, the 16th motorhome rally in La Chèze expects over 200 participants. Earlier, from 4 to 7 June, four motorhome events took place across France.
At the Aquarev campsite in Loudéac (Côtes-d'Armor), holidaymakers explained their choice between a caravan and a motorhome. Gilles, a 71-year-old retiree, has owned a caravan for 50 years and travels 4-5 weeks annually. Anne and Benoît bought a caravan several months ago, citing its economic advantage over renting mobile homes. Éloïse and Régis switched from a van to a motorhome due to lack of space and inability to shower in winter. They plan to return to Ireland next year.
Sébastien Cain, previously based in Parempuyre, has opened a motorhome service business in the Aygue Nègre activity zone in Ludon-Médoc. The relocation was supported by the Communauté de communes Médoc Estuaire.
Maxime de la Faye, owner of the bar 'Chez Les Copains' in Aix-en-Provence, bought a caravan and converted it into a mobile bar with a DJ deck. Rental starts at €500 per evening. Since early summer, the caravan has appeared at events across the Aix region, including a night market in Rognes and private functions. Future plans include expanding the concept and developing a music label.
The La Filhole motorhome area in Marmande (Lot-et-Garonne) is full this summer, with many travelers coming for the French hot air balloon championship. Visitors from Hérault, Agen, and Golfech highlight affordable rates, shade, and proximity to the city center, though some note the town could be livelier.
In France, drivers of motorhomes weighing more than 3.5 tonnes are prohibited from overtaking on the far left lane of a three-lane motorway. Violations incur a fine of up to €35, reduced to €22 if paid within 15 days, or increased to €75 if paid late. Motorhomes under 3.5 tonnes are subject to standard traffic rules.
Caravans are becoming less common on vacation roads, but a new wave of models could change that. Manufacturers are offering both luxury tiny houses that can be towed by a car or truck, and compact folding trailers that expand to double or triple their volume. Prices for such models start at around 14,000 euros. The folding design reduces fuel consumption compared to traditional caravans.
A French camper driver named Patrick was forced onto an Austrian motorway by a detour and, lacking the required vignette for vehicles over 3.5 tonnes, received a fine of 240 euros. In Austria, such vehicles must use a GO-Box electronic toll device, and failure to pay can result in fines up to 240 euros.
Around 150 caravans and as many vehicles have illegally occupied the former industrial site in Boucau, on the banks of the Adour. Mayor Mathieu Horn has called for immediate evacuation due to radioactive soil pollution and hazardous illegal electrical connections. The municipality has requested eviction procedures and asked Enedis to inspect the electrical installations, while also discussing site access security with owner Timac Agro.
