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.

Bridge Camera System Explained

Questions have arisen about the effectiveness of ANPR cameras on the Kirkcudbright bridge, which record breaches of weight and width restrictions. The cameras capture all vehicles but automatically detect only the plated weight of a vehicle from the DVLA database, which does not always flag trailers like caravans. Council officials manually sift through the data and pass non-compliant cases to the police, while exploring a system to automatically identify towed caravans.

Campervan stay limit at Findhorn increased

Council planners have approved an increase in the stay limit for motorhomes at Findhorn's West Beach Car Park from three to five nights. The facility, opened in May 2021, caters for up to 21 vehicles at a cost of £17 per night, including water disposal and refills. The change aims to enhance the area's tourism offer and prevent unauthorized parking of caravans on public roads.
