In Lippstadt, Germany, police stopped a motorhome that had no windshield and no side windows. The driver was not wearing a seatbelt and said he was too hot. The vehicle was once a luxury model built by the now-defunct German manufacturer Bawemo, known for high-end motorhomes on Mercedes and Iveco chassis. Well-preserved Bawemo motorhomes are now collector's items, fetching up to half a million Swedish kronor.

A week in a motorhome: freedom, sea views and an unexpected toilet problem

Perfect Weekend editor Viggo Cavling spent a week in a Sunlight T690L motorhome on a Ford Transit chassis to understand the appeal of this lifestyle. Sweden has about 120,000 registered motorhomes, with new registrations up 54.7% in the first half of the year compared to the same period last year, though some of this increase is due to early registrations ahead of new Euro 6 rules. The nearly 7-meter-long, over 2-meter-wide vehicle requires constant concentration while driving but offers freedom of movement. The week's main challenge was emptying the toilet cassette, solved by a CamperClean machine in Uddevalla for 100 kronor.
