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.
A new service area for motorhomes has opened in Lagos, Portugal, next to the municipal stadium. It accommodates up to 20 vehicles and provides water, toilets, Wi-Fi, and a waste disposal point. Parking is limited to three days, and awnings, tables, and chairs are not allowed. Officials stated the area is not a campsite but aims to reduce wild camping.
Seven new motorhome parks are planned or under construction in Portugal's Algarve region. Locations include Silves, Tavira, Portimão, Vila do Bispo, and Aljezur. In São Bartolomeu de Messines, a 30-space service station is nearing completion, while another is being built in São Marcos da Serra — both funded by Silves municipality with €270,000. Tavira is investing €281,000 in a park in Cachopo, and Portimão plans a 'considerable' station on the site of a former commercial park destroyed by fire seven years ago. Authorities aim to boost local economy during low season and address illegal parking issues.
Hundreds of motorhomes are parked on a plot near Portimão marina, which the municipality considers unsuitable for such activity. The land, owned by developer Sociedade Foz do Arade SA, has been used as a paid parking lot since summer (€1 per day). The municipality says it has not received a permit application, and local campsite owners complain of unfair competition and lack of safety measures.

The winner gets two free nights. The site, located next to the Ortiga reservoir, has about 42 pitches for tents and caravans, free Wi-Fi, accessible toilets, and free hot water.
More Portuguese travelers are choosing motorhomes over hotels. A category B driving license (up to 3.5 tons) covers most rental models. Daily rental costs range from €70 to €350 depending on season and vehicle class. Overnight parking outside campsites is only allowed in designated areas, and deploying awnings or outdoor furniture may be considered illegal camping.

The house can be equipped with an off-grid power system.
