75-year-old stopped in motorhome with knife and drugs in Denmark

On Thursday evening at around 23:40, police in Rødbyhavn stopped a British motorhome that had just disembarked from a ferry. The cabin smelled of hashish, and a drug test showed the 75-year-old driver was under the influence of THC. During a search, officers found a knife tucked into his belt and nearly 16 grams of cannabis. The man was arrested and charged with driving under the influence, violating the knife law, and the controlled substances act. The Danish Immigration Service will decide whether he should be deported.

Lottery winner buys new caravan but forgets the car

A woman from Central Jutland won 1 million Danish kroner in the lottery and quickly ordered a new caravan with separate beds and a joystick control. However, she overlooked that her car could not tow such a heavy trailer, so she had to invest in a new car as well. This is not the first such oversight for the couple: previously they bought a car without a tow bar, and after installing one, they found it still couldn't tow their then-caravan.

Route Six turns small Daihatsu van into two-story camper

At the Tokyo Camping Car Show 2026, Route Six unveiled the Conffy II POP, a converted Daihatsu Atrai with a pop-up roof that adds two sleeping berths. The standard Conffy seats four passengers but only two can sleep; the pop-up section solves this. The camper features a 200 Ah lithium iron phosphate battery, 12-volt air conditioning, Webasto heater, 1000-watt inverter, and external power hookup. Three interior variants are available; the show model is the Conffy II with pop-up roof.

Campers hesitate with electric cars: Torben says the combination is too expensive

Danish caravan owners are reluctant to switch to electric cars due to high costs and reduced range when towing. Sales of new caravans in Denmark have more than halved over the past five years: 755 new caravans registered this year versus over 2,000 five years ago. FDM technical consultant Tom Westersø Larsen notes that with a heavy caravan, an EV's range is halved, and a trip to Lake Garda would require about six charging stops instead of two diesel refuels. Camping Outdoor Denmark director Kirsten Munk Andersen adds that the decline is also due to the growing popularity of other holiday forms.

Man not in life-threatening condition after head-on collision with motorhome

A head-on collision between a car and a motorhome occurred Thursday on Gl. Århusvej between Hovedgård and Grumstrup in Southeast Jutland. The 23-year-old male driver of the car was seriously injured but is not in life-threatening condition, police said. Preliminary investigation suggests the crash was caused by a failed overtaking maneuver. The 60-year-old Finnish driver of the motorhome was unharmed. The road was closed for a period while authorities investigated.
