Gas smell at camper prompts fire brigade response at Putten gas station

On Sunday evening, the fire brigade responded to the BP gas station on Oude Rijksweg in Putten after a report of a gas smell coming from a camper. The issue likely arose during LPG refueling, possibly due to a burst or detached hose. Firefighters inspected the camper and the immediate area. No injuries were reported, and the exact cause has not been officially confirmed.

Study: Caravan walls reduce noise by 22–25 dB

British acoustic consultancy LF Acoustics measured the sound insulation of a typical modern touring caravan with double glazing, finding a 22 dB difference between outside and inside noise levels. German calculations for a campsite in Neustadt in Holstein estimated about 25 dB for the outer panels of a modern motorhome with closed windows. Sound insulation works in both directions but does not guarantee complete silence for neighbors, especially with open windows or roof hatches.

Netherlands among Europe's top camping nations

The Netherlands ranks fourth in Europe for camping popularity, with only Croatia, France and Denmark ahead. Over 4.2 million Dutch people regularly camp with a tent, caravan or motorhome. The trend traces back to a book by American minister William Henry Harrison Murray in 1869, which sparked a camping craze in the Adirondacks, and to British tailor Thomas Hiram Holding, who designed a compact lightweight tent in 1897. In the Netherlands, the first campsite opened in 1914 at Castricum, and by the late 1930s a quarter of the population camped.

From touring pitch to permanent spot in Kessel: couple returns for peace and friendliness

A couple from Geldrop, who last year stayed at a campsite in Kessel with a tourer caravan and awning, decided to return and secured a permanent pitch with a static caravan. They were drawn by the calm atmosphere, the kindness of the staff and other campers. The man is set to retire in December, and they plan to spend more time at the site. The caravan has been customized to their needs, including a larger bed and a kitchen with multiple ovens.

Caravan weighing 650 kg makes heavy tow car unnecessary

Motsmann Engineering has unveiled the Outranger, an off-road caravan with a weight of about 650 kg, designed to be towed by almost any family car. The model, built using technology from the company's tram and bus component production, features six fiberglass panels, a galvanized steel chassis, and independent Timbren suspension. The base version costs around 23,900 euros, while the fully equipped version is about 30,000 euros. Sales begin in September, but only for the North American market; the caravan is not officially available in Europe.

Family travels in motorhome for two years: “You don’t have to wait until you’re seventy”

A family from Woerden, Netherlands, has been traveling through Europe in a motorhome for two years. Jolanda Zwetsloot and Brecht van der Laan, with their sons Dax (9) and Jep (6), have visited Italy, Spain, Sardinia, and Morocco. They fund the trip through savings and rental income from their home in Woerden. The family deliberately avoids buying new items, preferring second-hand goods, which allows them to work less. In September, they plan to continue their journey by bicycle with tents, possibly heading to Istanbul.
