Sarriguren — VanSky 88 (Ideal)

The Atlantic Caravaning Show in Vigo, Spain, closes on May 31. The event saw high sales of motorhomes, caravans, and campervans, allowing daily rotation of displayed units. 50 companies from over 20 brands exhibit on 8,000 sq m. A free overnight area accommodates 200 caravanners.

The city council of Ferrol (Spain) has decided to draft a municipal ordinance regulating the parking of motorhomes and camper vans. The decision was approved unanimously at a plenary session, with the Socialist Party (PSOE) abstaining. The document will establish parking rules for these vehicles within the city.

TikTok user @miss_whitejuditart bought a used caravan for 1,900 euros and placed it on a plot of land. In a series of videos, she documents the renovation process, including replacing rotten wooden parts, fixing water leaks, and painting 31 cabinet doors. For the kitchen countertop, she uses porcelain tiles and handmade wooden trims to keep costs low. The project is ongoing, with a folding table still to be installed.

The Zestoa city council has finished painting parking spaces for motorhomes and camper vans in the Estación industrial estate. From Friday evening, parking is provisionally available in the blue zone and spots 9–18 of the green zone. Cars and caravans are not allowed. Once all procedures are completed, the area will operate 24/7 with a 72-hour limit and overnight stay permitted, initially free of charge. A wastewater dump point and a time-control machine will be installed, with police patrols to prevent abuse. There are 22 spaces for local motorhomes.

A trend for stealth campers — vans externally indistinguishable from commercial vehicles — is growing in Europe and the US. These vehicles have no side windows, extra lights, awnings, or vinyl decals, but inside they are equipped with a bed, kitchen, and toilet. In Spain, sleeping inside a properly parked camper is legal as long as no external elements are deployed, but local restrictions in Galicia and the Balearic Islands are tightening. A key camouflage element is an opaque bulkhead behind the front seats that hides the living area.

From May 28 to 31, 2026, the Atlantic Caravanning Show is held at the Vigo Fair Institute (IFEVI), covering 16,000 sq m and featuring hundreds of vehicles. The event highlights sustained sector growth since the 2020 pandemic. New motorhomes average over €70,000, while caravans start at €12,500.
