DVLA Motor Caravan Rules Have Changed: What Converted Vehicle Owners Need to Know

See in 2027 with a night out and your bed just a short stroll away. Park up, enjoy the celebrations and forget about booking a taxi home. We’ve rounded up pub stopovers, a campsite and a New Year rally with celebrations on 31 December 2026, where you can stay in your campervan or motorhome. From live music to special dinners and dancing, there’s something for every kind of celebration. All the pub stopovers featured are on The Campervan Bible app, making it easy to find them

What does a “free” pub stopover mean? Pub stopover costs regularly generate discussion, particularly around whether a stay is “free” when visitors are expected to buy food or drinks. The traditional arrangement was simple: campervan and motorhome owners had somewhere to stay overnight, while pubs gained customers. With no separate parking charge, the stay was commonly described as free. Different pubs, different arrangements Today, pub stopovers operate in several different w

Spain has introduced a new national rule setting out how motorhomes and other vehicles fitted out as living accommodation must be parked. The change is in Article 92.4 of Spain’s General Traffic Regulations and took effect on 1 October 2026. The rule gives travellers a clear three-part test: keep everything within the vehicle’s footprint, keep the vehicle resting on its tyres (with safety chocks or wedges allowed), and do not discharge fluids from inside the vehicle.

Seeing Oasis live in 2027 is the perfect excuse to make a trip of it. If you’re travelling by campervan or motorhome, finding somewhere to stay is only part of the plan: you’ll also need to work out how to reach the concert and get back to your van afterwards. We’ve brought together campsites, touring pitches and possible pub stopovers near Celtic Park in Glasgow, the Etihad Stadium in Manchester and Knebworth Park, with distances and useful transport information for each ven

Swansea Approves New Fabian Way Motorhome Stopover with 10 Pitches. Motorhome visitors could soon have a new dedicated place to stay in Swansea after the council approved plans for a stopover at Fabian Way Park and Ride.

Etiquette is what is expected of us; and what we expect of others. The unwritten rules and customs that guide polite and acceptable behaviour in social groups. Sounds a bit ‘Olde Worlde’, doesn’t it? In the case of the Campervan and Motorhome Community, think, Jane Austen on wheels. Good manners and respect cost nothing! Most campsites have their own policies, their ‘written rules’, concerning behaviour; be it noise or children or dogs, and so on. They are almost always m

We like pubs. The history, the tradition. The alcohol! But they’re disappearing, at an alarming rate. In the first quarter of 2026, one hundred and sixty one ‘locals’ called time, for the last time. That’s almost two every day; a trend which, if continued, would see more than six hundred and fifty lost in the year. And continue it almost certainly will. For pubs, the future, and many thousands of livelihoods, are in the balance. Pubs have always adapted
