Motorhome recommendations

  • Low solar output (~0.5 kWh) — reduce power use or connect to shore power.
  • Wind is calm — safe to open the awning and leave it out overnight.
  • High condensation risk — ventilate before sleep and leave a small gap in the roof vent.

Weekly Digest #19 · May 4–10

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.

Caravan camping checklist for families planning a road trip

A checklist has been published for families planning a caravan road trip. It covers packing by category: safety, bedding, cooking gear, clothing, hygiene, entertainment, and campsite setup. Special attention is given to children's needs: comfort items, quiet activities, spare shoes, medication, and snacks. Before departure, the checklist recommends checking tyre pressure, brake lights, indicators, towing connections, and securing all loose items. It also advises filling fresh water tanks, emptying grey and toilet waste, checking gas bottles, and carrying a fire extinguisher, reflective triangle, and repair kit. For off-grid travel, extra water, solar charging, and backup power are suggested.
