Santana do Paraíso 92The São Paulo State Tourism Secretariat has published an official guide for motorhome, camper, and caravan travelers, featuring coastal, inland, and reservoir destinations. Brazil's motorhome market is valued at 1.5 billion reais.
A report by Integração Auto details the costs, setup, and daily life of people living in motorhomes, highlighting the growing popularity of this lifestyle in the country.
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.
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.
The city of São José dos Campos issued a second batch of 21 permits to trailer owners for legal trading on municipal land. The ceremony took place on November 7 at the Sebrae-SP regional office.
A meeting at the Torres city hall was held with motorhome owners to discuss parking rules and mitigation of urban impacts. Councilman Gimi Vidal (PP) stated that current restrictions (30-minute parking limit) are ridiculed by owners and called for a review of the law. The regulations were originally introduced due to illegal electricity hookups and parking on lawns.
