In the city of Weingarten, caravans permanently parked on streets create traffic obstructions and worsen parking shortages. Owners circumvent the two-week parking limit by periodically moving the trailers, which technically does not violate traffic regulations. In contrast, motorhomes can be parked indefinitely as they are classified as motor vehicles.
Up to five large motorhomes are regularly parked on Hanweiler Straße in the Schelmenholz district, leading to years of complaints from residents. The Winnenden authorities are considering a parking ban for such vehicles in the residential area due to numerous grievances.
Mercedes-Benz has unveiled the updated Marco Polo 2026 motorhome based on the V-Class. The key change is a new double-layer aluminum pop-up roof that adds 10 cm of interior height. Other updates include a detachable awning, magnetic blackout curtains, a new eight-speaker sound system with subwoofer, and an upgraded MBAC control system. Production has been fully integrated into the Ludwigsfelde plant in Germany. Orders open in Germany on August 5; prices have not been announced.

Residents of Harlaching are complaining about numerous motorhomes permanently parked on public streets. They say the two-week parking limit is regularly exceeded, but vehicles are rarely towed. The district committee hopes that the introduction of a paid parking zone at Mangfallplatz in late 2026 will reduce the number of such vehicles.
The Mercedes Clase V Marco Polo is positioned as a benchmark in camper vans for comfort and equipment. It features two sleeping areas (lower bunk and elevating roof) with ergonomic mattresses for up to four people, and a compact kitchen with two burners, sink, and refrigerator. The interior uses premium materials, including porcelain surfaces and piano lacquer, with ambient LED lighting. Technology includes the MBUX multimedia system with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, augmented reality navigation, blind spot control, traffic sign assist, and ATTENTION ASSIST. In Spain, financing is available with a down payment of €30,260 and monthly payments of €695 for 48 months.
