The Norfolk Motorhome & Campervan Show, also known as the Out & About Live Summer Party, will take place at the Norfolk Showground from July 17 to 19. The event will feature a wide range of new and used motorhomes, campervans and caravans from UK dealers, along with hundreds of retailers showcasing accessories and touring equipment. Attendees can expect a vehicle exhibition, expert talks, family activities, camping, evening entertainment, a silent disco, and organized trips to the Norfolk Broads.

A new temporary motorhome insurance product has launched in the UK, offering flexible cover for drivers borrowing a motorhome or campervan for short periods. Insurance provider GoShorty has expanded its range of temporary vehicle insurance products with the introduction of motorhome cover available from one to 28 days. The policy is designed to allow borrowers to take out their own standalone insurance, with claims handled separately from the owner's policy to protect their No Claims Discount. The move comes as interest in staycations, road trips and peer-to-peer vehicle sharing continues to grow.

A journalist cycled 60 miles on an e-bike from Oxford to Walton-on-Thames, following the path of early campers of the Camping and Caravanning Club (CCC), which celebrates its 125th anniversary. Founded in 1901 as the Association of Cycle Campers, the club has grown from 150 to over 300,000 members. The route included an overnight stay at the family-run Bella Vista Camping in Radnage and a visit to the oldest CCC campsite in Walton, opened in 1913.

Clive Hetherington has been granted retrospective planning permission to live in a caravan on private land in Cosheston, Pembrokeshire, where he has resided since 1996 without formal approval. Landowner Wendy Campbell submitted the application through Preseli Planning Ltd to recognize the caravan as a permanent dwelling. The decision was praised by North Wales Live readers as 'common sense,' though some raised concerns about council tax arrears.
