The municipality of Elva (Maira Valley) has announced a tender for the management of the 'La Sousto dal Col' shelter and the adjacent camper van area at Colle delle Cavalline. Renovation works funded by the PNRR are nearly complete.
A survey conducted at the Salone del Camper (Parma, September 12–20, 2026) found that 25.7% of motorhome owners travel with their dog, influencing route and stop choices. From April 22, 2026, EU Regulation 2026/20 will tighten requirements for animal documentation and health during non-commercial travel. There is also growing interest in cultural routes: until November 8, 2026, the Monumenti Aperti initiative opens over 800 sites in 85 municipalities, and the network of literary parks includes over 60 communities in 15 regions.
Municipal police removed a motorhome parked in front of the community in Vasto, used by volunteers supporting the Trevallion Birmingham family. The vehicle was found to be uninsured, as the policy had expired four days earlier and the 15-day grace period had passed. Owners paid approximately 600 euros in fines and fees to recover it. Despite the seizure, volunteers continue their protests, including demonstrations at the juvenile court in L'Aquila and weekly prayer gatherings.
In Marcellise (Verona), overheating of a photovoltaic system ignited the roof of two rural houses. The fire broke out on Saturday afternoon, causing damages exceeding 300,000 euros and rendering both buildings uninhabitable. The owner, a journalist, is temporarily living in his motorhome. No injuries were reported.
On the SP58 provincial road at Passo della Raticosa (Firenzuola), a head-on collision occurred between a motorcycle and a motorhome. A 45-year-old motorcyclist was seriously injured and airlifted to Careggi Hospital in Florence under red code. The cause of the accident is under investigation.
On June 6, a head-on collision between a motorcycle and a motorhome occurred on provincial road 58 in Piancandoli (Mugello). The 45-year-old motorcyclist from Imola sustained multiple injuries and was airlifted to Careggi hospital. The motorhome was carrying a family from Emilia. Carabinieri are investigating.
