On 27 July Germany checks motorhomes and trailers on the A31 and A30. Also: a diesel tax in Finland has left motorhomes parked up for most of the year.
Two years on the road with a cat named Zhuzu — and not a single day of wanting to go back. We break down life in a camper van: where to find water, how heating works, what to do about electricity, and where to look for overnight spots. 7 countries, hundreds of places, and an honest account — from the mountain roads of Turkey to the coastline of Montenegro.
Comprehensive review of all RV and camper toilet types: cassette, portable, gravity, vacuum, macerating, dry flush, sealing, incinerating, composting and separating. Comparison of models, consumables, installation and annual costs.
The Belmonte Existe group has reported that the motorhome area in Belmonte de Miranda remains signposted from the main road as operational, but is actually closed. Arriving motorhomes must turn around on a narrow road, and tourists park in spaces meant for residents. The group demands the municipality either open the area or remove the misleading signs.
The town hall of Belmonte de Miranda (Asturias) issued an official statement regarding the overnight stay of a group of motorhomes near the Las Ayalgas Museum. Participants assured police at 11:00 PM that they would not stay overnight, but at 8:00 AM officers confirmed that they had indeed stayed. The town hall emphasized that the event was not authorized, despite being planned since February 20, and reminded that a new municipal motorhome area is available.
The Monforte city council has commissioned a project to renovate the municipal motorhome service area, which has not been updated in 19 years. Plans include expanding from 20 pitches by incorporating adjacent land, improving the narrow access ramp, and upgrading utilities. The free facilities are outdated and no longer meet the growing demand, leading to motorhomes parking elsewhere in the town.
The only motorhome parking in Oviedo, in La Corredoria, is overcrowded. Travelers from Belgium, Catalonia and Seville complain about a lack of spaces. Demand for camper tourism in Spain and Asturias has been growing since the pandemic.
From October 1, 2024, a reform of Spain's General Traffic Regulations takes effect, prohibiting municipalities from discriminating against motorhomes and camper vans in parking. Restrictions on parking or overnight stays must now apply equally to all vehicles, not just to motorhomes. Municipalities retain the right to regulate parking by size, height, or time, but not by vehicle use. Signs specifically banning motorhome parking must be replaced.
Pamplona and its surroundings have designated areas for motorhome parking and overnight stays. The main site, Trinitarios, offers 33 spaces, 24-hour access, CCTV, and water/electricity services. The rate is €10.40 per day, rising to €20.80 during San Fermín (5–15 July). Free alternatives include Ansoáin (with water filling/dumping), Berriozar (30 spaces, 72-hour limit, free except San Fermín at €11.50), and Sarriguren (with green spaces and a playground).
The tire manufacturers' association AFANE has warned of a new requirement for tread depth on trucks, trailers and buses. Under an amendment to the General Vehicle Regulations, the minimum tread depth for these vehicles is 1 mm. Violations are punishable by a fine of 200 euros per tire. Previously, no specific minimum was set for such vehicles.
Josep Jané, a 62-year-old retiree from Barcelona, has been voluntarily maintaining and welcoming guests at the motorhome parking area in Bovera (Lleida) since February. He helps drivers park, informs them about local services, and resolves issues. He moved to the village in April and rents a house there. The initiative was proposed to the municipality, which supported it. The parking area has 9 spaces, with a rotation of 2 per day, hosting over 60 motorhomes monthly, 90% of which are foreign visitors from France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark. Jané plans to systematize data collection on visitors. The mayor set a fee of €3/day for electricity and noted that signs prohibit motorhomes from driving through the village.
The Spanish province of Jaén offers 33 motorhome stopover locations, including campsites, free and paid parking areas. A new regulation published in the BOE from October 2026 prohibits blocking motorhome parking in designated zones. The province features four natural parks, the highest density of castles in Europe, and Renaissance heritage.
