Care home residents in Aalten hold mini Zwarte Cross festival on site

In Aalten, Netherlands, a group of friends from Bredevoort lent their caravan to residents of the Estinea care home so they could experience the Zwarte Cross festival atmosphere without leaving the premises. The event took place on a lawn in front of the building and included a barbecue, music, and overnight stays in the caravan or a tent. According to organizers, residents with intellectual disabilities and complex care needs could not attend the festival themselves, so they decided to bring the festival to them. The caravan was borrowed for the weekend, and participants reportedly enjoyed themselves greatly despite little sleep.

Wildfire damage to caravans and campers: will you get compensation?

Due to large wildfires in Southern Europe, which have led to the evacuation of about 200,000 people, owners of caravans and campers may receive compensation for damage only if they have the appropriate insurance. Caravan damage is covered by a caravan insurance policy if taken out; for a camper, mandatory insurance covers damage depending on the policy. Tents are usually covered under the baggage section of travel insurance. Evacuation and alternative accommodation are covered by travel insurance, but voluntary early return is not reimbursed.

Fire in Delft destroys property of 77-year-old caravan owner

A fire at the Schieweg industrial estate in Delft destroyed the belongings of Jan van Drunen (77). His boat and truck trailer were engulfed in flames, and his caravan was written off. Van Drunen was uninsured, as insurers reportedly refuse to cover fairground workers, classifying them as caravan dwellers. His son bought him a second-hand caravan, but it lacks shower and water. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
