In 2025, Seattle collected about 200 tons of trash from areas with homeless encampments and RV dwellings, accounting for 40% of the city's total street waste (530 tons). The waste included 661,000 used syringes. The 'Clean City' program expanded from 155 cleanups in 2022 to 1,190 in 2025, removing an additional 110 tons of trash. The intensified cleanup is linked to preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with matches scheduled at Lumen Field.

Seattle moves to restrict unpermitted RV street parking

The Seattle City Council has proposed limiting street parking for motorhomes and travel trailers without a permit to two hours and banning overnight parking from midnight to 6 a.m. The rules would take effect in 2027, with enforcement starting by July 31 of that year; violators could be towed without prior notice. The Vehicle Resident Assistance Program (VRAP), introduced by Councilmember Dan Strauss, allocates $5 million for outreach, safe parking lots, and vehicle storage. Permits would be limited to individuals identified in a one-time street survey and would allow parking in designated industrial areas for up to 72 hours. The first hearing is scheduled for the 11th, with a vote expected in mid-September.

Portable Solar Panels for RVs: Efficiency Analysis

GEYOTO Technology Limited has published a technical analysis of using portable solar panels for motorhomes and camper vans. The material covers power supply issues, comparison with fixed roof panels, and recommendations for integration with energy storage. It notes that a 100W panel generates 400–500 Wh per day, enough for a compressor refrigerator but not for high-power appliances. It also states that permanently mounting foldable panels on the roof leads to damage and voids the warranty.

Camper Fire at Kossuth County Fairgrounds Destroys Motor Home, Killing Family Cat

A fire at the Kossuth County Fairgrounds in Algona, Iowa, destroyed a 2005 Holiday Rambler motor home and killed a family cat on Thursday evening. The owners, Timothy and Kerissa Hall of Des Moines, escaped injury and saved their dog before the vehicle was engulfed in flames. The fire is believed to have started in the rear bedroom, possibly from a roof air conditioner. The interior was a total loss.
