Motorhome owners held a protest in Tenerife on April 25, demanding legal parking areas and service points. According to the ACAT association, there are 15,000 registered such vehicles in the Canary Islands, but municipalities often install illegal signs prohibiting their parking. Key demands include the establishment of 'ecological points' for dumping wastewater and refilling clean water, of which there are only two on the island.

Weekly Digest #16 · 13–19 April

Almería is putting up physical barriers to keep motorhomers off its former fairground — while Turkey simply evicts them from the beach.

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.

Fine of up to 40,000 euros for parking a motorhome in a prohibited area in the Balearic Islands

Ibiza authorities have tightened rules for motorhomes since 2024, prohibiting long-term parking and overnight stays in rural areas. The fine for entering without a permit during high season can reach 10,000 euros, and for parking in a prohibited zone — from 10,001 to 30,000 euros. In summer 2025, a motorhome was fined for both violations, which could total 40,000 euros. Legal stay requires prior booking at an official campsite.

How Many Years of Hotel Vacations Can Be Paid for by the Cost of Buying and Maintaining a Camper Van

An analysis shows that buying a camper van to save on vacation is often not justified. The average cost of a camper van is around €40,000, with annual maintenance expenses reaching up to €2,000. For a couple traveling 15 days a year, these funds could finance over 16 years of traditional vacations. Economic viability only emerges with intensive use of the vehicle for more than 60 days per year.
