German Foreign Office warns of rising campervan thefts and attacks in Sweden

A multi-vehicle collision involving a motorhome and two cars occurred on road 34 near Målilla, Hultsfred municipality. The accident happened shortly after 11 a.m. on Saturday in the northbound lane. One person was taken to hospital with reportedly minor injuries. The road is closed in both directions until 1:30 p.m. for rescue and recovery work; traffic is being diverted.

Linnea Marklund, a 33-year-old marketer from Arvidsjaur, left her life in Uppsala and moved into a self-built motorhome equipped for full-time living. She has built three motorhomes herself, installing a shower, toilet, induction hob, and an electrical system that allows simultaneous use of a hairdryer and the stove. She works part-time and changes her parking spot daily, staying no more than two nights. She has no plans to return to her old life and hopes a future partner will embrace this lifestyle.

A motorhome route around Lake Siljan in Sweden is highlighted, formed by a meteorite impact about 380 million years ago. The route passes through red villages, forests, and areas with traditional Dalarna culture, including kurbits paintings and Dalarna horses.

A campervan suffered a puncture on road 26 in Filipstad municipality, between Persberg and Långban, causing significant traffic delays. The incident occurred on Friday afternoon, July 24, 2026.

A man in Sweden has been charged with selling or moving his caravan after it was seized by the Swedish Enforcement Authority (Kronofogden) in September 2025. The caravan, valued at around 200,000 SEK, was finally located and confiscated in June 2026 at the Sudersand Resort on Fårö. The owner reportedly has debts of about 1.2 million SEK. He denies the charges. If convicted, he faces fines or up to one year in prison.

At the Husvagnsexpo in Bromölla, two flagship Swedish-built caravans were presented — the Polar Chimera (Dorotea) and the Kabe Imperial (Tenhult). Both models cost around one million kronor, have a gross weight of about 2.6 tonnes, and require an extended B or E driving licence. According to expert Marcus Dolata, the differences are mainly design-related, while technical specifications and equipment are nearly identical.
