Elmia Husvagn & Husbil 2026

The Alm family from Boxholm, Sweden, is planning their summer caravan holiday. Departure is set for June 17. The route is not yet fixed, but ice cream and warm weather are mandatory. Fifteen-year-old Elmer expressed interest in visiting the Trulli houses in southern Italy. The family's travels are documented on Instagram, where they have thousands of followers.

The Black Beast, a 14-meter caravan with a sauna and underfloor heating, has been on sale in Sweden for over a year at €50,000, down from its original €125,000 in 2008. Its extreme size makes it impractical for most users, limiting campsite access and requiring a heavy tow vehicle. Recent auctions saw bids as low as €14,000.

At Happy farm near Källby, Sweden, along road 44, motorhome pitches, a waffle café, play areas, and a petting zoo are now available. Owners Ulf and Vanessa Karlsson describe the venture as their vacation. The site draws visitors from near and far.

A campsite in Borås, Sweden, has reached its maximum occupancy. Motorhome and caravan owners have occupied all available pitches, leading to overcrowding. The surge is attributed to the growing popularity of mobile leisure travel in the area.

Several countries, including Switzerland, Austria, and Germany, have issued warnings about thefts and attacks on tourists sleeping in motorhomes and caravans at parking lots in southern and western Sweden. Particularly vulnerable are rest areas along the E6 route, areas near the ports of Malmö and Trelleborg, and the vicinity of Gothenburg. Authorities recommend using guarded campsites, hiding valuables, and storing documents separately.

On Friday afternoon, rescue services responded to a report of a motorhome emitting smoke. The call came in just before 3:00 PM from drivers on the E4 between Måttsund and Gäddvik. Upon arrival, rescuers found no fire; the vehicle was stopped and inspected.
