Moquegua Department 96Anto and Nano left their structured life in Santo Tomé to travel the Americas in 'El Moncho', a motorhome they built themselves. Their first stop was Puerto Gaboto. They sustain themselves through social media, advertising, video editing, and odd jobs. They emphasize that the key is to dare, not to fear failure.
Confusing the water filler with the fuel filler is a common error among first-time renters of motorhomes and camper vans. If diesel is poured into the fresh water tank, do not turn on the water pump or open taps to avoid system damage. In the opposite case, do not start the engine. Repair costs can exceed €1,500, and insurance typically does not cover this negligence.
The issue of caravans used as housing has escalated in Ciutat Jardí (Palma). Residents complain, politicians propose bans and fines, but the article points to the root cause — a lack of affordable housing. Instead of repression, it suggests setting up a legal parking area with basic hygiene services for a reasonable monthly fee.
Roadsurfer has introduced the Couple Cottage camper van based on the Weinsberg CaraTour with a fixed roof. The vehicle is nearly 6 meters long with an interior height of 1.9 m. It features a kitchen with two gas burners, a 69-liter refrigerator, heating system, and a bathroom with shower and toilet. The rear double bed is always set up, with storage underneath.
The article explains that living together in a camper van or motorhome requires strict organization due to limited space (about 2 sq m of free area). The key is the 'turn rule': two people should not occupy the same space at the same time, e.g., while one cooks, the other stays in the lounge area. This prevents collisions, discomfort, and injuries.
Short videos featuring AI-generated objects with faces and voices are trending on social media, warning motorhome owners about common oversights. The clip highlights consequences of leaving skylights, windows, fridge, drawers, retractable step, or awning open. For instance, an open skylight can tear off at speed, causing an accident and a fine up to 200 euros, with repairs potentially reaching 1000 euros.
