A campervan fire in St Eval, Cornwall, spread to a nearby house, prompting an evacuation. Four fire engines responded, using breathing apparatus and multiple hose jets to control the blaze. No injuries were reported, but the property sustained smoke and fire damage.

Barefoot Caravans has introduced a downsized version of its travel trailer, named the Bothy. The model lacks a wet bathroom, weighs from 1556 kg, and is towable by any vehicle. It starts at £25,500.

An ALKO brake shoe set for replacement on a single axle of a trailer or caravan has been presented. The set includes two 160x35mm shoes and the required springs. This is a standard spare part for maintaining the braking system of recreational trailers.

Plans have been submitted for a mini caravan site in a rural community near Kelso, Scotland. The proposal includes five touring caravan pitches with electricity, water, and a dedicated cesspit for waste disposal. The aim is to diversify estate income and boost the local economy through increased visitor footfall.

Barefoot Caravans has introduced the Bothy, a simplified and lighter version of its fiberglass egg-shaped trailer. The model removes the dedicated bathroom and some amenities, resulting in a starting price of £25,500 and a base weight of 706 kg. It was unveiled at the Motorhome & Caravan Show in Birmingham, UK, with no immediate plans for a US release.

In the village of Shipley Bridge in Surrey, a group of travellers has set up an unauthorised caravan site. They asphalted a green strip and felled protected trees to park approximately 70 caravans. Local authorities have issued an enforcement notice for eviction.
