New motorhome model with queen-size bed

The article describes a first family holiday in an Ahorn Camp A690 motorhome with a two-year-old child. During the trip to the Netherlands, the child complained about noise from the Renault Master, which the author says is not quiet. The author finds the noise level acceptable, noting that other motorhomes may rattle more, but a large alcove is not a silent dream. The main question is whether the Ahorn A690 is the right vehicle for a family with a child and whether they will survive the camping trip.

Two accidents on the A23 motorway between Heide and Albersdorf on Wednesday morning led to temporary closures in both directions. At around 10:15, a Tesla driver lost control in heavy rain while heading north; the car skidded and hit a motorhome travelling in the right lane. The motorhome driver also lost control, left the road and struck the crash barrier. The Tesla driver and one person from the motorhome were injured and taken to hospital. A separate accident occurred on the opposite carriageway when a Mercedes hit the barrier; no one was hurt. The northbound lane reopened at around 12:15 after recovery work.
