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.

Qipeo: new name for AireServices motorhome stopover network

French company AireServices has rebranded its network of motorhome stopover sites as Qipeo. As of April 2026, the network includes 1,250 sites with 26,000 parking spaces. The name comes from the company’s app launched in late 2025, which enables online payment and remote activation of services. The new signage is being rolled out gradually; sites remain non-uniform – local authorities decide on fees and management.
