Extreme summer heat drastically changes routes of thousands of motorhomes

After a strict ban on motorhome parking in 2025, Greece passed a new law allowing parking of vehicles up to 7.5 m in towns and on roadsides, but overnight stays with external equipment remain subject to fines.

Motorhome thefts in France have increased by 30% over the past year, with approximately 300 such vehicles stolen annually. Hybrid SUVs account for 45% of all vehicle thefts in the country. More than half of stolen vehicles later located via trackers are found in Belgium, with about 5% discovered in the Netherlands.

According to a study, Bulgaria has become the most suitable country for motorhome travel due to low fuel prices and tolerant attitudes towards wild camping. In Georgia, wild camping is completely legal, while Romania and Cyprus attract with favorable climate and scenic roads. In Western Europe, careful planning is required due to toll roads, environmental zones, and bans on wild camping.
