Brett Loubser is suing Elite Luxury Off-Road Vehicles in the Johannesburg High Court over a custom-built Ng’Ombe Off-Roader 6.2 caravan he bought for R1,250,000, claiming it had multiple defects. The company disputes the claim, attributing the damage to Loubser's negligence. Loubser sold the caravan to We Buy Cars for R550,000 and seeks damages totaling R756,695, including repair costs. The case is set for mediation before a hearing.

Belgian family stranded in Argentina due to motorhome software error

The manufacturer states the code can only be cleared at a specific Volkswagen factory located 867 kilometers away.

The plush cars and campervans sunk on Gwynedd graveyard beach in 2025

Vehicle strandings at Traeth y Graig Ddu beach in Gwynedd increased significantly in 2025, with an estimated 30 cars and motorhomes recovered. A local farmer using a tractor performed most rescues as drivers, often from cities, misjudged the rapid tides and parked too low on the sand. Approximately one-third of the vehicles were submerged by seawater, leading to likely insurance write-offs.
