On Thursday afternoon, a 19-ton Volkner motorhome parked on Andechser Strasse in Andechs, Bavaria, caught fire. According to the Herrsching police, the fire started in the engine compartment due to a technical fault in the cooling system.
The driver, a 70-year-old man from the Landsberg district, and his dog were not injured. The fire was quickly extinguished, but due to damage and smoke, the vehicle, which is almost the size of a bus, was completely written off.
Damage is estimated at a seven-figure sum in euros (one source says a seven-figure sum without specifying currency).
