Weekly Digest #20 · May 11–17

Volkswagen brought the ID. Buzz back to the United States — complete with a mattress and curtains. A wildfire in Arizona burned down a dozen motorhomes, and Lake Tekir in Turkey flooded just as many. While Ibiza fines illegal campers up to €30,000, a retired couple from Mallorca has been living in 10 m² for five years and saving €1,400 a month. Plus: the largest campsite in the US at 607 pitches, a closed naturist beach on the North Sea, and Dolby Atmos in a trailer — all in this edition.

Weekly Digest #19 · May 4–10

After almost 70 years, Bürstner has stopped making caravans — and nobody was particularly surprised once sales had fallen by a third. Sweden registered 62% more motorhomes and is preparing to let them drive faster. Chet Hanks moved into a retirees' trailer park in Nashville — for the country music career, not the savings. Plus a Korean workation site for 100 motorhomes, an unmanned trailer hotel on Hokkaido, and a gyrocopter pilot who landed on a highway and clipped an oncoming motorhome — all in this issue.

Retired couple moves into a motorhome: 'Camping site rent is much cheaper than a house'

Fernando and Ana, a retired Spanish couple, sold their home three years ago and moved into a 1999 Fiat Ducato Maxi motorhome nicknamed 'La Vaca'. They repaired it themselves for €1,631, far less than quoted by professionals. They report lower living expenses, with money left at month's end, unlike before. For the future, they plan to rent a camping pitch, which they say is cheaper than conventional housing.

Regulations and prohibitions on camping with caravans in Almería

In Almería (Andalusia), municipal authorities have tightened control over the placement of motorhomes, caravans, and campers. According to the recently adopted General Urban Mobility Ordinance, parking such vehicles is allowed under general conditions, but overnight stays and camping within the city limits are prohibited. The key distinction: parking is permitted without setting out tables, chairs, awnings, or discharging fluids, while for sleeping, specially equipped campsites or overnight areas defined by Decree 26/2018 must be used.

Up to €250 a month for a 'zombie caravan' in an illegal camp: In Palma, they profit from those who can't afford rent

An illegal business has been uncovered in Palma de Mallorca, renting out old caravans as housing to people who cannot afford conventional rent. According to COPE, an individual has been importing caravans from mainland Spain for at least three years, placing them around the city for monthly fees starting at €250. Many caravans are in poor condition, lack technical inspections, insurance, or proper documentation, and use license plates from scrapped vehicles. The caravans are left unhitched on public streets, making them illegal encampments rather than legal overnight stays.

Adeje changes the rules: e-scooters banned from sidewalks and camping in motorhomes prohibited

The municipality of Adeje (Tenerife) approved a new mobility ordinance, replacing the outdated 2014 document. It bans e-scooters from sidewalks, sets a minimum user age of 16, and requires rental companies to obtain municipal authorization. For motorhomes and camper vans, parking is allowed, but deploying awnings, tables, or other accessories is classified as camping and prohibited.
