Sweden registered 62% more motorhomes and is preparing to let them drive faster. Chet Hanks moved into a retirees' trailer park in Nashville — for the country music career, not the savings.

Police in Vorarlberg offer free weighing of motorhomes and caravans

The State Traffic Department of Vorarlberg (Austria) will hold a free weighing event for motorhomes and caravans on May 16, 2026, at the Nüziders control station (A14). Overloading is common due to passengers, water, e-bikes, and luggage, reducing stability and increasing braking distance. Overloads detected during the event will not be penalized; the aim is prevention and information.
