Fresh motorhome regulations come into effect for campervan owners and drivers from next month. British motorists are facing new restrictions when journeying to the European Union from next month.Additional EU law modifications will be rolled out next year. Drivers risk being denied entry to the European Union if they fail to adhere to the new Entry/Exit System, which is scheduled to launch on October 12.Mark Sheppard, senior trading manager at Safeguard, said anyone taking their vehicle to the EU from October 12 for up to 90 days within a 180-day period would be affected. Mr Sheppard added: "Looking further ahead, UK citizens will also need to hold a valid European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) travel authorisation, although this is not intended to be introduced until the last quarter of 2026."A Labour Party government spokesperson said ahead of the shake-up coming within the next few weeks: "While EES checks will be a significant change to the EU border, we are in constant and close dialogue with our European partners to try and minimise the impact on the British public.", reports Birmingham Live "While we have done everything we can to ensure the required infrastructure is in place, anyone who is planning a trip to the European mainland once these checks are introduced will still need to allow more time for their journey as the new EU systems bed in." European nations implementing the EES will gradually introduce this new system over a six-month period, indicating that different ports may have diverse requirements until April 2026. This approach should facilitate a smooth transition that minimises disruption, especially during peak times. For those travelling via the Port of Dover, the Eurotunnel at Folkestone or the Eurostar at St Pancras International, the process will be carried out at the border prior to their departure from the UK.

The EES (EU Entry/Exit System) will now go live on 12 October, 2025, having been postponed on multiple occasions prior. While important news, it is only when the ETIAS visa waiver system is introduced (expected in 2026) that motorhomers travelling to Europe need to take action. The system was originally planned for 2022; however, it was then delayed to May 2023, later in 2023, and then pushed to 2024. The European Union now say the system will officially go live on 12 October. The EES is a new digital border system for registering non-EU nationals for short stays. The EES will register the arrival and departure dates of non-EU nationals travelling for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. It will replace the current process of stamping passports with biometric data such as fingerprints and facial scans. The EES will impact travellers who are not citizens of EU member states and UK citizens who will need to hold a valid ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) travel authorisation. Both visa holders and visa-exempt travellers will also be registered in the EES. The EU says the EES will have many benefits. Firstly, the experience for travellers will be improved as the EU’s external borders are modernised. It also says security will be improved as overstayers will be identified on more reliable data entries, and improved border checks with the use of electronic records and biometric data. The system will apply to non-EU nationals who need a short-stay visa to travel to European countries using the EES and those who do not need a visa to travel for a short stay in the European countries using the EES. Passports will only be stamped manually in Cyprus and Ireland, despite both countries being part of the European Union.

European motorhomes have become renowned as some of the world's most beautiful and well-designed RVs, and with good reason. Somehow, Euro machines manage a sweet balance between style, capability, and price. One of the latest to join the ranks is the Cruiser 2.0, a motorhome from none other than LMC Caravan, a crew that's been active in the industry for 70 years this year. So, to celebrate this milestone, they've hit the market with all they have. Yet, what's extremely important to note about the Cruiser 2.0 is that it was created and designed by LMC based on feedback from their actual clients, real RVers, and frankly, this shows in the layout and the ease with which you can move about a space, store your goods, and literally live your life, but on the road. Overall, the new Cruiser is available in three layouts, four if we count the current 70th anniversary edition. But, no matter which of the ones you choose, they all come in with the same chassis, and more or less the same width and length. Yet, my favorite layout is the 750 EL, and for a couple of good reasons. One of the first is that this fresh layout does have a video accompanying it, completed by the YouTube channel miniCampers (A big "thank you!" goes out to this team); be sure to check out that video as well. I'll be talking about this layout, but be sure to check out the other three, as you may find them more to your liking. At the heart of this RV sits a Fiat with a 103 kW (138 hp) engine, boasting a maximum payload capacity of 3,500 kg (7,716 lbs), which is the limit in Europe for driving an RV without needing to upgrade or change your driver's license class in any way.

Greece has officially joined a growing list of countries—including the US, UK, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and Czech Republic—that are implementing tough new travel bans targeting motorhomes. Driven by rising concerns over environmental impact, overcrowding, and unauthorized camping, these nations are introducing sweeping national prohibitions, regional overnight parking bans, and future sales restrictions that collectively mark a global clampdown on freeform motorhome travel. Greece’s move to implement a comprehensive national ban on motorhomes in public areas marks one of the most aggressive crackdowns to date. Under the new law, motorhomes and caravans are now prohibited from parking in public spaces such as beaches, parks, forests, and even standard car parks. The regulation also curtails private hosting, forbidding landowners from accommodating more than one motorhome on their property, regardless of consent. Offenders face steep penalties, including fines reaching €300 and the possibility of serving up to three months in jail. Officials cite environmental degradation, traffic congestion, and pressure on public services as key justifications for the ban. However, the law has sparked widespread concern among rural communities that rely heavily on camper tourism to sustain local economies, particularly during Greece’s long summer season. Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Switzerland: No Tolerance for Wild Camping Before Greece’s law came into effect, several European countries had already laid the groundwork for strict regulation of motorhome travel. Across the Netherlands, wild camping and parking motorhomes outside designated areas are completely forbidden under national law. Travelers are required to use designated motorhome sites or licensed campsites. Hefty penalties are imposed on those who park outside permitted areas, making spontaneous overnight stays virtually impossible. Luxembourg mirrors the Dutch model with a total ban on wild camping. Motorhomes must stay in official areas, and local enforcement often patrols rural zones to ensure compliance. Despite its small size, Luxembourg has adopted one of the most regulated approaches to motorhome travel in Europe
