Original source: Ystads Allehanda

In April 2026, customs officers in Ystad found a large quantity of alcohol and cigarettes hidden in the walls and under seats of a caravan arriving by ferry from Poland. The driver confessed he intended to sell the goods to offset the decline of the Norwegian krone.

German manufacturer Bürstner will suspend caravan (travel trailer) production from the 2027 season, focusing entirely on motorhomes. The decision follows a prolonged drop in caravan demand while motorhome sales have risen sharply. The company may resume caravan production in the future but has set no timeline. Existing caravan owners will still receive service and spare parts.

A Swedish tribunal ruled that a dealer must refund 580,595 kronor for a 2023 Adria Alpina caravan bought remotely, as the dealer failed to inform the buyer of the right to cancel. The cancellation period was extended by a year, and the buyer also received compensation for a moisture test. Lawyer Bo Ericsson says such cases are common and cause major losses for dealers.

In Ystad, Sweden, traffic wardens face a dilemma as motorhomes increasingly use parking lots as campsites. According to traffic warden Jonas Ljungkvist, sleeping in a vehicle is not considered camping, but setting up a grill on a parking spot is not allowed. Motorhomes with various nationalities line up west of the sewage plant and at Spanienfararegatan in the harbor, with some staying for hours and others using the spots as a campsite.

Novacamp, which has sold motorhomes and caravans since 2015, is expanding its premises in the Western industrial area of Trelleborg. After a few tough years during the pandemic and the subsequent recession, sales are picking up again. Owner Benny Eklund notes that interest in motorhomes has increased, as they allow people to satisfy their desire for discovery.

A Swedish 18-meter motorhome, converted from a 2003 Scania CL94UA city bus, is for sale at 105,000 euros. The conversion took place between 2018 and 2022. It features a kitchen with induction hob, dishwasher, washing machine, a dining area, living room, library, guest room, bedroom, and bathroom. It has 14 solar panels (3.5 kW), a 420-liter fresh water tank, and a 420-liter gray water tank. The vehicle can accommodate five people and is designed for temperatures down to -25°C. However, in Germany, a C1 license may be required due to its weight exceeding 3.5 tons.
