Pattex Millechiodi Attacca&Stacca: glue for motorhomes without damage risk

On Friday afternoon around 4:00 PM, a collision between a motorhome and a Daewoo car occurred at the traffic light intersection of Corso Trieste and Strada Vallere in Moncalieri. The impact was not severe, but the Daewoo ended up completely sideways across the lanes in front of the motorhome, which stopped in the middle of the road. Traffic was slowed until the vehicles were removed; the intersection is monitored by a red-light camera system, preventing minor violations.

In Gassino Torinese, Italy, the former Olindo Fiore sports field in Bussolino has been converted into a free parking area for five motorhomes. The project cost €82,000 (€50,000 from regional funds and €32,000 from the municipal budget), drawing criticism from the opposition. Maurizio Gazzara, leader of the Gassino Insieme list, argued the funds should have been used for road and sidewalk repairs instead. He also cited a 1985 notarial deed stating the land was designated for social and cultural facilities, not parking. The parking regulations were approved by a majority vote, but the debate continues.

In Tolentino, unknown individuals broke the window of a parked motorhome, entered, drank beer, and left a mess. The owners had to postpone their planned trip to the sea. Damage to the window is estimated at 500 euros. The incident was reported to the carabinieri.

Francesco Caldarola, 34, from Trani, left his career as a cultural consultant to live in a 1974 caravan of about 10 sq m. In September 2024, he traveled to Sicily without a plan, working on olive harvests, in a restaurant, and at a circus school. He later converted an abandoned garden into a micro-campsite.
