Petra and Rüdiger Erbslöh from Meerbusch have set off on a motorhome trip through Switzerland. The route includes the Rhine Falls, Zurich, Grindelwald and Zermatt. The TV show 'Wir werden Camper' will air their journey on June 7, 2026 on WDR.

The St. Gallen cantonal police are hosting a 'Camper Day' at the Oberbüren police station. Motorhome owners can have their vehicle's unladen weight checked for free to determine the actual remaining payload. The event runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. with experts from traffic police, road traffic authority, TCS, and Wohnmobilland Schweiz.

Heinz Hüsler presented his VW T3 Syncro, which he personally converted and upgraded over several years. The vehicle features all-wheel drive, a high roof, and clever details. The project showcases the customization potential of the classic van for camping.

On June 6, 2026, the St. Gallen cantonal police held the first 'Camper Day' in Oberbüren. About 70 motorhomes and caravans were weighed on a bridge scale, and drivers were informed about the risks of overloading. The event was deemed successful, with possible expansion to other regions.

The Swiss campsite association Swisscamps warned of potential shortages during peak season after the closure of 13 sites in Valais due to natural hazards and one in Bern for nature conservation reasons. Operators in the Fricktal region have so far felt little impact, as their clientele consists mainly of local tourists, transit travelers, and Dutch visitors. The decisive months for assessing the situation will be June, July, and August.
