VanLife Weekly #17 · April 20–26

Greece has cancelled its own camper van ban — a year and a half on, as if it got cold feet. In Tenerife, 500 motorhomes blocked a motorway demanding the same — pitches and dump stations. In Miami, 200 families are being evicted from a motorhome park by September, while Córdoba is only just applying for permission for a new overnight area. Plus 21 kg of cocaine in a motorhome in Lanzarote, a fake eight-wheeled Mercedes-AMG G63 and a Starbucks coffee trailer in Seoul — in this issue.

The new signage is being rolled out gradually; sites remain non-uniform – local authorities decide on fees and management.

La Rochelle: Caravans have left the CCI plot in Chef-de-Baie

A group of approximately 140 caravans, evicted from a parking lot in Périgny on April 15, has moved to an adjacent plot, freeing up the Chamber of Commerce and Industry land. The plot was intended for a major offshore racing hub project, and its temporary occupation caused issues for the local fishing port. The situation was resolved after Enedis installed a secure electrical connection for the encampment. Some occupants plan to leave the site on May 24, but the overall departure date for the entire group remains unclear.
