A motorhome got stuck in a curve on the Balmberg pass road (canton of Solothurn). The 73-year-old driver ignored a sign prohibiting vehicles over 3.5 tonnes. Recovery required a roadside assistance service, and the road was completely closed for about three hours.

Motorhome as mobile meeting and support space

In Switzerland, the 'Rencar' project has been launched — a motorhome converted into a mobile meeting and counseling point for marginalized groups. The initiative started on March 1, 2012, in the cantons of Jura and Bernese Jura. The motorhome will operate six days a week, parking at hospitals, prisons, and public spaces. The project is funded by the church community but does not involve religious proselytism.
