On Saturday evening, Hattingen firefighters extinguished a fully engulfed motorhome on a parking lot in Wodan Valley. Three propane cylinders inside the vehicle required intensive cooling, and the complete burnout of the motorhome could not be prevented. Earlier that day, firefighters used two aerial ladders to rescue a worker stuck at a height of 8-10 meters due to a malfunctioning aerial work platform.

Munich Court Orders Refund for Defective Motorhome

A Munich court has ordered a rental company to refund 3,400 euros to customers who cut short their trip due to defective sockets in a motorhome. The couple rented the vehicle for 3,600 euros in summer 2023 for a four-week journey but had to return it after the first night as the 12-volt sockets were not working, preventing the charging of a medical device.
