South Korean lawmaker proposes 10,000 converted buses for homeless youth

Camper, a company specializing in campers and mobility, announced on August 9 plans to launch a B2B service providing motorhomes as mobile rest areas for workers at construction, logistics, and other sites. Amid stricter heat-related rest requirements, the company offers motorhomes equipped with air conditioning, seats, and charging ports, which can be relocated as work zones change. However, specific clients, prices, and pilot schedules have not been set, and the key issue is whether motorhomes can meet legal standards for rest facilities (minimum floor area of 6 sqm, height of 2.1 m, etc.).

Starting August 1, Yuzhnoukrainsk will ban motorhome and caravan parking in the central part of the city. The restriction will affect Lenin and Parkova streets, where parking will only be allowed in designated areas. Violators face a fine of 500 hryvnias.

The Yulpo Auto Camping Site in South Jeolla Province, South Korea, is holding a summer festival that combines camping with seaside activities. Located at 52 Chungui-ro, Hoicheon-myeon, Boseong County, the site is about a 40-minute drive from central Gwangju. It offers parking for about 50 vehicles and accepts reservations online and by phone. Summer features include water sports and evening campfires.

South Korean experts warn of the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning and heat-related illnesses when sleeping in vehicles during summer. Leaving the engine running for air conditioning can allow exhaust fumes to enter the cabin, especially in poorly ventilated areas. Recommendations include turning off the engine before sleeping, using portable carbon monoxide detectors, and avoiding sleeping in cars during extreme heat.
