Map warns campers about expensive nights

The startup Vanlifezone from southern Styria has developed a digital map with more than 250,000 campsites and parking spots. The map shows Natura 2000 areas, local restrictions, and community warnings to help travelers avoid fines of up to 400 euros for illegal overnight stays in protected zones, for example in southern Portugal. The project received a startup grant of 6,000 euros from the city of Graz.

VW California: test drive of a €100,000 motorhome

Portuguese outlet ECO tested the Volkswagen California Ocean priced at €99,669.75. The motorhome features a 2.0 TDI engine (150 hp, 360 Nm), 7-speed DSG, front-wheel drive, and fuel consumption of 6.8 L/100 km. Over four days with three children in the Pedrógão Grande area, the vehicle was evaluated for daily use and holiday travel. Highlights include a functional kitchen, sleeping arrangements, and autonomy, but the lack of a toilet and dimensions (5.17 m) limit versatility.

Camping in a Tesla Model Y in Portugal: how it went

A week-long camping test in a Tesla Model Y in Portugal covered nearly 2000 km. The author used a personal Decathlon inflatable mattress instead of the official Tesla one. Disabling Camp Mode saved 10–15% battery per night, with air conditioning activated via smartphone in the morning. To avoid false alarms when leaving the car, automatic door locking was turned off.
