The 3-3-3 rule for slow travel in motorhomes

The 3-3-3 rule, promoted as a camping trend for summer 2026, limits daily driving to 300 km, arrival by 3:00 PM, and a minimum stay of three nights per site. Adapted from the US version (300 miles), it aims to reduce driving stress and campsite booking pressure. In Italy, the rule suits mountainous roads and traffic, allowing travelers to explore regions more thoroughly.

Why Eastern Europe is the new hotspot for motorhomes

According to a study, Bulgaria has become the most suitable country for motorhome travel due to low fuel prices and tolerant attitudes towards wild camping. In Georgia, wild camping is completely legal, while Romania and Cyprus attract with favorable climate and scenic roads. In Western Europe, careful planning is required due to toll roads, environmental zones, and bans on wild camping.

Excursion to the summit craters of Mount Etna by motorhome

In Sicily, motorhome trips to high-altitude areas, particularly Mount Etna, are popular. The route starts from the Mons Gibel Camping Park (Belpasso, 550 m) and leads to the Piano Provenzana parking lot (1810 m), covering about 58 km with an elevation gain of 1260 m. This is followed by a 4×4 ride (18 km round trip) and a 4–5 km hike with a 450–500 m elevation difference to about 3300 m. The excursion lasts 4–5 hours, difficulty moderate (E). Cost is 120–140 euros per person. Above 2800–2900 m, a volcanological guide is mandatory; access may be restricted during heightened activity.

Man arrested in Modena for attempted theft of bicycles from parked motorhome

State Police in Modena arrested a 31-year-old man, already known to authorities, for attempted aggravated theft. Around 11:00 PM on Viale Martiri della Libertà, officers responded to a 112 emergency call from a street tutor reporting someone tampering with a parked motorhome. The suspect dropped a pair of shears and fled toward via Mascherella but was caught on Corso Adriano. Two of four bicycles originally secured to the motorhome's bike rack were found on the ground nearby, a third was hidden in a flowerbed at Parco Pertini, and the chain had been cut; a window was also broken. The arrest was validated by the preliminary investigations judge, who imposed an obligation to report to judicial police.

Turin residents complain about constant presence of motorhomes and caravans in parks

Residents of Turin reported the prolonged presence of motorhomes, caravans, and vans on Corso Brunelleschi, near the Mercatò supermarket. They cite safety concerns: abandoned waste, use of public fountains for washing, and belongings left near a playground. District 3 councilor Stefano Bolognesi said structural solutions are needed, not just moving people. Authorities note the same families cyclically move between the San Paolo and Pozzo Strada neighborhoods.

Fiumicino obscures parking rates for motorhomes and buses

The municipality of Fiumicino has taped over the rates for motorhomes and private buses on paid parking signs. The move follows resident complaints about the lack of adequately sized parking spaces for such vehicles. New blue zones are being introduced on several streets, including seafronts, but no dedicated spots for motorhomes and buses have been allocated yet.
