Sweden's leading motorhome and caravan importer goes public

Gert Andersson and Marita Larsson from Örebro, who have traveled Europe by motorcycle for 30 years, wanted more comfort without giving up bike excursions. They found a solution in Husvagn & Camping magazine: their motorcycle can now tow a caravan, enabling both long-distance travel and camping convenience.

Barometern-OT has compiled a list of the best parking spots for motorhomes during the summer season. The selection includes both coastal and inland locations across nine municipalities in Kalmar County.

According to Google Maps data, KG SleepOver and motorhome stopover in Varberg received an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 based on 60 reviews, outperforming 96% of all campsites in Sweden. The national average is 4.2. Meanwhile, First camp Kärradal and Läjet camping received the lowest ratings in the municipality at 3.7.

The Alm family from Boxholm, Sweden, is planning their summer caravan holiday. Departure is set for June 17. The route is not yet fixed, but ice cream and warm weather are mandatory. Fifteen-year-old Elmer expressed interest in visiting the Trulli houses in southern Italy. The family's travels are documented on Instagram, where they have thousands of followers.

A man who bought a used motorhome for SEK 440,000 discovered multiple faults the day after purchase. The Swedish National Board for Consumer Disputes (ARN) ordered the seller to pay over SEK 30,000 in compensation. The buyer stated in his complaint that instead of a pleasant holiday, he spent most of the time fixing issues, including a leaking toilet tank.

The Black Beast, a 14-meter caravan with a sauna and underfloor heating, has been on sale in Sweden for over a year at €50,000, down from its original €125,000 in 2008. Its extreme size makes it impractical for most users, limiting campsite access and requiring a heavy tow vehicle. Recent auctions saw bids as low as €14,000.
