A caravan caught fire at a campsite in Sweden. No one was inside the trailer at the time of the fire, and there were no injuries.

In the first five months of 2026, Sweden registered 57% more new motorhomes than a year earlier. The increase is partly due to early registrations for Euro 6 compliance, so actual demand is slightly lower.
