Vanlife in practice: from Gąski to Italy in a motorhome
Original source: polskicaravaning.pl

A Polish couple described their transition to vanlife, starting with a first trip to Italy after buying a 20-year-old used motorhome in July 2025. Before buying, they rented a similar-age motorhome in May 2025, which helped identify faults. For Italy, they installed Starlink, upgraded the solar battery and all-season tyres, and completed pet documentation, including a rabies vaccination at least 21 days before travel.

Campania by motorhome: routes and stopovers

A guide to touring Campania by motorhome has been published, featuring four routes and 13 verified stopovers. In the Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni National Park, 32 motorhome stopovers are marked between Acciaroli, Palinuro and Padula. On the SS163 Amalfi Coast road, motorhomes and caravans are banned year-round, with exceptions only to reach authorised areas; in summer, alternating number plates apply on peak days. The practical solution is to leave the vehicle in Sorrento, Salerno or Tramonti and continue by SITA bus or ferry. Municipal stopovers may be free, while private ones with full services cost more and vary by season; the best period is May, June and September.
