Rumors that burglars use soporific gas to drug motorhome occupants before stealing have persisted for years, but forensic evidence does not support them. European police have never arrested anyone for using such gas or found traces of it in burgled motorhomes or victims' blood. Medical experts deem the method highly improbable, as effective anesthetics would require bulky equipment and pose a lethal risk. The vast majority of motorhome thefts occur without chemical sedation.

According to Schweiz am Wochenende, the site now attracts guests seeking relaxation, such as Scandinavian couples cycling or paragliding by day and wanting quiet nights.
