Almería is putting up physical barriers to keep motorhomers off its former fairground — while Turkey simply evicts them from the beach. Lightship is quadrupling its electric-caravan factory in Colorado, even as 50% of Italian motorhome renters turn out to be under 35. Plus 800 kg of hashish in a motorhome at the Spanish border, Anker's 800 W charger running off the alternator, and Carstay as the mobile HQ of a Tokyo festival — all in this issue.

The lawsuit against Stellantis over "cheat" diesel software, a yellow DHL van in the hands of a retiree, and 413 million campsite overnight stays across Europe — all in this issue.

Tomar: What Future for the Motorhome Park?

The Tomar municipality closed the old campsite to motorhomes after a storm in January, redirecting them to a parking lot without facilities. Authorities stated plans to create a new site, but it does not yet exist, while the old location is scheduled to host a Soup Festival in April 2026. Opponents argue this harms tourism and the local economy.

Death from amoeba after nasal irrigation with motorhome tap water

A 71-year-old woman died from primary amebic meningoencephalitis after rinsing her sinuses with tap water from her motorhome. The infection was caused by the Naegleria fowleri amoeba, which entered the brain through the nasal cavity; symptoms appeared within four days, and death occurred approximately eight days after infection. The case highlights the danger of using non-sterile tap water for nasal hygiene, particularly in recreational vehicle systems where biofilms can form.

Lisbon City Council says family with confiscated caravan rejected emergency support

Lisbon Municipal Police confiscated a caravan housing a family of six after repeated illegality notifications. The city council offered emergency housing via Santa Casa da Misericórdia, but the family rejected the support.

MANN-FILTER recommends checking cabin air filters in motorhomes

MANN-FILTER advises motorhome owners to check and replace the cabin air filter before the start of the season. Replacing the filter, especially with activated carbon or FreciousPlus models, can improve interior air quality, which is important after long periods of inactivity. The company offers filters for most European platforms, including Fiat Ducato and Mercedes Sprinter, and recommends replacement once a year or every 15,000 km.
