Campervans and Motorhomes: Wildfire Travel Planning in Europe
Practical wildfire-season planning for motorhome, campervan, caravan and campsite travel across southern Europe.
Van-specific risk: you can change plans quickly, but campsites, aires and scenic roads can also put you close to vegetation, narrow exits and smoke. Plan each day around where you can safely leave, not only where you want to sleep.
