In Brief

Italy is expanding its smart motorhome infrastructure: new digital stops opened in Dogliani and Torriglia. Meanwhile, the 17th Camper Salon in Parma will showcase the latest technologies for mobile living.

Italy continues to develop its motorhome tourism infrastructure. In Dogliani, a new digital area for motorhomes opened on July 3, 2026, with app-based booking and payment. Maximum stay is 96 hours, cost is 10 euros per day plus 4 euros for services. The project aims to support the local economy and tourism.

In Torriglia, the municipality is setting up a 14-space smart parking area with smartphone access. The project won a GAL grant under the FEASR program for rural development. The site will include electric charging, water supply, waste disposal, a picnic area with barbecue, and a dog run. Work is expected to be completed by the start of the season.

From September 12 to 20, 2026, the 17th Camper Salon in Parma will present the latest accessories and services. Key innovations include smartphone-controlled lighting, air conditioning that works without a generator, lithium batteries up to 540 Ah, app-controlled leveling systems, and GPS anti-theft systems that reduce insurance costs.
