In Brief

On July 10, 2026, police in Lippstadt stopped a campervan missing its windshield and all side windows. The driver was not wearing a seatbelt. The vehicle was deemed unsafe and banned from further travel.

On July 10, 2026, police in Lippstadt, North Rhine-Westphalia, stopped a campervan that had no windshield and no side windows. The driver was not wearing a seatbelt. According to police, he explained the missing windows as a substitute for a broken air conditioner and a desire for ventilation.

During inspection, the vehicle was found to have numerous other defects. Police described it as a "rolling pile of scrap metal" and prohibited further travel. An administrative offense case was opened, and the driver faces a fine.

The stopped campervan is believed to be a Bawemo Streamliner or Bawemo 630, a rare German brand produced in the 1970s–1990s.
