Original source: Autobahn

The Gabary app uses Google Maps with an extra data layer for large vehicles, alerting drivers to low bridges, tunnels, and weight restrictions. After entering vehicle dimensions and weight, the system evaluates the route. A recent update added Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support. The app focuses on France, with subscriptions costing €4.99 per month or €39.99 per year.

Why Eastern Europe is the new hotspot for motorhomes

In Georgia, wild camping is completely legal, while Romania and Cyprus attract with favorable climate and scenic roads.

French motorhome users stay home: direct impact on routes

According to Yescapa, 89% of French motorhome trips in 2026 remain domestic, up from 86% in 2023. This drives a 16% increase in bookings to cooler regions like Rhône-Alpes and Brittany, and shifts the peak season to September (73.3% intent) from August (45%). For Dutch and Flemish motorhome users, this means higher occupancy at popular spots and a need for early planning.

How to keep snakes from settling under caravans and awnings this summer

French herpetology experts and camping associations have issued guidelines to prevent snakes from taking shelter under caravans and awnings. Key measures: mow grass to under 5 cm, remove all stored items under the chassis, install fine-mesh wire (less than 1 cm) buried 5 cm deep, and ensure the caravan skirt is taut against the ground. If a snake is found, do not attempt to catch it — back away, create ground vibrations, and call a specialist. In France, all grass snakes are protected, and vipers are partially protected by law.
