In Brief

WGF announced the expansion of its specialist appraiser network in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Over one million motorhomes are registered in Germany, boosting demand for expert services.

The Motorhome Expert Association (WGF), founded in 2021 and based in Plankstadt, announced the expansion of its specialist appraiser network in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The organization brings together experts in motorhomes, caravans and campers.

WGF notes that standard vehicle appraisal methods are often unsuitable for recreational vehicles due to their complex construction, including water, gas and electrical systems, as well as moisture damage. Currently, more than one million motorhomes are registered in Germany, increasing demand for expert services. Specialists conduct moisture checks, hail damage assessments and court appraisals, as well as vehicle weight reports. The cost of an appraisal for a caravan is around 300 euros, for a motorhome from 400 euros.

Revised industry standard 'Small Building' published

The Tiny House Association has published the revised industry standard 'Small Building' (June 2026 edition). The guideline, known as the 'Tiny House Standard', describes the current state of the art for planning, manufacturing and evaluating small buildings. The main innovation is the division into two parts: Part 1 covers requirements for construction, technical building equipment, product ecology and conformity assessment; Part 2 covers living quality, indoor air hygiene and building biology requirements. Manufacturers can check product compliance during the planning phase, reducing later adjustments and costs. New definitions for modular houses and series construction have been added; for series products, conformity assessment can be based on a representative sample. The standard includes differentiated requirements for the energy assessment of transportable small buildings. It is available in print and PDF for EUR 69.
